93 Project information Short project description Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2011 - Category 2: Civil Structures 2 Winner - Civil Structures Owner Fondation Hans-Wilsdorf Architect Atelier d’architecture Brodbeck-Roulet sa Engineering Office amsler bombeli et associés sa Construction Period From November 2009 to February 2012 Location Geneva, Switzerland The original architectural design is the work of the architect’s firm Brodbeck-Roulet in Geneva. They worked in close collaboration with the civil engineering office ‘amsler bombeli et associés SA’. Given the complexity of the geometry of the bridge, the calculation of the structure required the development of several models with very sophisticated calculations, which were performed with Scia Engineer. On this basis, an optimization of thicknesses and steel grades has been done through the input of parametric cross-sections as well as the extensive use of shell elements for the detailing study of several parts of the structure. Hans Wilsdorf Bridge Geneva, Switzerland Quote of the Jury “This state-of-the-art project with steel and prestressed concrete convinced the jury. The project shows the splendid result of a merger between an architectural design, which aims to be an organic structure, and engineering skills supported by flexible software that is able to deal with complex sustainable structures.”
