Design Studio VIIReview 1 Structural geometryHyparwave

With the Geometrica system, you can extend structures and capture space in many ways, including double curvature in opposite directions.

3D Lattice

For surfaces with zero or only one direction of curvature, a deeper Geometrica 3-D lattice provides strength and rigidity, distributing loads evenly and efficiently with much less weight than a conventional two-dimensional frame. Shapes include flat and single curvature.


Design Studio VIIReview 1 Standing seam profilesIt offers thermal and acoustic insulation, and light weight with superior durability whilst retaining a harmonious combination of shapes, color and surfaces combining with other building materials to create astounding and inspiring buildings.With its variety of width, tapering and curving capabilities, the standing seam known for its versatility to adapt to buildings of any geometry or shape

Design Studio VIIReview 1 CROSS BRACING

It is asystem utilized to reinforcestructures in which diagonal supports intersect. Usually seen with two diagonal supports placed in an X shaped manner; these support compression andtension forces. Depending on the forces, onebrace may be in tension while the other is slack.Here aluminium cross bracing is being used.

Design Studio VIIReview 1 Operable wall systems

A system composed of large panels which are hung from a ceiling track or a floor track, permitting the panels to be moved easily from their closed position (in which the panels form a partition) to an open position (in which the panels are stacked against each other)

Thus, spaces can be configured in accordance with changing demands and prevailing functional requirements, giving more flexibility in every-day usage.

FIRE FIGHTINGFor fire safety, smoke sensors are used everywhere in the buildingTo protect each space from fire, water sprinklers are installed in each room.Fire exit staircase is provided adjacent to each hall.


ChallengesThe challenges presented by the centre areThe operable wall panels being huge requires immense labour and damage the carpets

Carpets used for flooring are prone to accumulation of dust and are difficult to clean when spilled with food in the food courts.

The plenary hall with executive suites and service rooms open up to the same lobby making the VVIP personels to get glance of the service areas.

The control rooms for the banquet halls, ballrooms are located on the upper floors, instead of being adjoining causing access problems in peak times.Design Studio VIIReview 1
