Masdar Canopy

Project Description:
Structural Design and Optimization of Large-Scale Canopy structure.

Technical Info:
This very special project included the structural design and optimization of the architectural concept of a free form canopy. The process included the determination of the materials (concrete, steel, carbon, etc.), the structural optimization of the initial architectural concept with the assistance of parametric design tools the structural design and cost analysis of the structure in the concept design phase as well as the preliminary geotechnical design.
