My Design
looking at the forms she used i decided to try and mimic her style (to the best of my ability) and design a warehouse that would span the 40mtrs required.
here are my initial sketches and design resolution:
In order to understand the construction details of my design, I spoke to Magmillan projects in Geelong who made my design seem quite simple to build, and on there advice it seemed that a truss designed roof would be most suited to the large span.
In order to create the continuation effect Zaha aimed for, I required cladding on either side of the steel structure. Going off the images below, it appeared that Zaha used standard steel construction with sheet steel for the outside. So it was simply a girt and cleat connection of a smooth zincalume on either side.
the fact that my building was slanted meant that it would need to be specially designed by an engineer to resist the lateral loads.
so all in all the design seemed pretty standard as well as the construction details so the information passed on in tutes have been most applicable
