Structure

Frame


Example of aluminium space frame, here used to construct an Antarctic research station.

Internal cells within an aluminium hulled boat.

The interlinked timber frame here provides a strong yet relatively lightweight superstructure.


Foundations


Spencer Dock Bridge, 2009, Amanda Levete Architects. This road bridge uses sculptural concrete piers to anchor to the bed of the dock.


The project can borrow foundation techniques developed for the offshore turbine industry, including piled and gravity approaches.


Buoyancy


The fixed floating elements of the project (promenades) will integrate existing pontoon techniques into the overall structure. Here precast concrete pontoons are used for a house construction.


Steel pontoons are another approach as seen here. This also highlights the need to anchor the floating pontoons to the dockside or bed, using foundations that allow the structures to rise and fall with changes in water levels.
