| Abstract: |
The aim of this article is to describe the structural concept of the building complex formed of the Aquatis museum and a hotel above an existing P+R car park platform directly connected to the metro system. The museum is a new cultural and scientific centre dedicated to fresh water ecosystems and environmental protection. It is the largest fresh water museum in Europe. This challenging project’s complexity and development over time are explained in order to understand its structural singularity. |
