Abstrait:

The London 2012 Olympic Stadium was a popular success and ideas were developed to enhance its capability after the Olympics. Commercial discussions concluded with West Ham FC becoming a key tenant and requesting roof covering over spectators that would be located close to the pitch. This resulted in considerations for an extraordinary covering of 49000m², double the original.

The paper explains how previous studies (see Ref 1) helped inform an engineering vocabulary of key issues; however the paper describes how a new radically inventive solution was necessary. It presents the extraordinary engineering challenges such as highly complex form-finding enabling a super-tuned structure to work within the existing constraints to maximise potential of the original structure and deliver a new iconic design faithful in character to the popular Olympic design.
