Abstract:

This paper presents the evolution and challenges of structural designing of a highly unusual three- storey steel structure. The construction will operate as an office building, having an egg-shaped form and it will tower in between the existing reconverted single-storey buildings. In addition, includes the structural design of the additional necessary objects for reconversion process, such as skylights and connecting greenhouse. The article provides detailed examples, methods and results of structural design, accomplishing the challenges of multi-criteria decision making through structural efficiency, building implementation, environmental issues and project costs.
