System concept design, finite system engineering for structural glass, light boxes, tension facades and large display doors
Description
The project brought forth unique challenges given the existing structure and adaptive use. Our design drawings and finite engineering was utilized by the various contractors to produce the seven varying wall types on the project including a six story sculptural glass atrium that houses flying live and static models. The original concept required the design of 5 ton pivoting showcase doors and massive light boxes. The final design features a completely pre-engineered tension façade.
