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.
