ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: This paper discusses the current design status of the NSP Arnhem Central Transfer hall project in Arnhem, The Netherlands. The project involves a complex geometrical, double-curved concrete shell roof design by UN Studio architects for a project in which many functions are combined, the Transfer hall being a merging point of passenger, commercial and social interchanges, a multi-use development integrating programme and flows of people and vehicles. The paper will introduce the project and will discuss the design methods applied to convert a complex geometrical vision to a feasible structural design.
