221 X Nemetschek Structural User Contest 2013 - Category 4: Special Projects Category 4: Special Projects 4 Short description │Roof Structure Noorderpark Subway Station This project concerns the roof structure covering the newly built ‘Noorderpark’ subway station in the city of Amsterdam. The main complexity of the project lies in the geometry, with the roof being constructed by assembling different spherical shapes and intersection surfaces to create a smooth curved surface in all directions. The modelling tools of Scia Engineer were used to create the sperical bodies, intersect them with surfaces and to model the steel beams in the intersections. A parameterised design of the roof structure made it possible to create an optimal cost-effective structure suited to the usage of bent glass, yet with a very attractive, transparent doubly curved smooth appearance.
