| Abstract: |
In recent years a number of gravity-stressed cable-net stadia roofs have been designed and delivered by the authors in response to design requirements for non-tensile membrane cladding systems. During this period an understanding of the structural behavior of these systems has developed along with a recognition that ‘live’ controlled form-finding can play a key role in collaboration during the design process. This paper will chart the development of gravity-stressed cable-net stadia roofs from the transformation of the London Olympic Stadium, through the delivery of a stadia for the Qatar Football World Cup and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and on to the development of a parametric, matrix based design tool for form-finding of the system and its use in the development of design solutions for current and future projects. |
