Abstract: |
On a square in the historic city center of Haarlem in the Netherlands on top of an underground car park a fully glass entrance building was designed by architect Kraayvanger Urbis. ABT developed the glass structure for this spectacular building. The fact that the stability was provided by the glass panels in the roof in combination with the glass panels in the four walls of the project makes it something special. Also the application of full glass rods in the structure of the roof is an innovation in the world of making glass structures. |
