Engineering the Structure Behind an Unprecedented Architectural Vision
Like building blocks assembled at unexpected angles, the structure takes on a striking form unlike anything we have seen before. Conventional structural calculation methods alone could not verify its safety, so the team conducted repeated full-scale structural tests, continuing to explore and refine solutions to bring the design to life.
The role of a structural engineer is to keep asking one essential question: What can we do to turn the architect’s vision into reality?
