  • Height Vs. History Tall Buildings in the Heart of London Controversy Over Tall Buildings in Central London Is Not a Recent Phenomenon
    Height vs. history Tall buildings in the heart of London Controversy over tall buildings in central London is not a recent phenomenon. Peter Stewart explains how heated debates on the issue began as long ago as the late nineteenth century. The proposal for a 250m (820ft) tall residential France, Westminster, completed in 1888 (demolished tower to be built next to Paddington Station – in 1973). Crude and joyless in its design, it was the ‘Paddington Pole’ – is the latest in a line of considerably taller than any other London residential controversial tall-building projects to come forward in building at the time and prompted widespread central London over the last two decades.

  • Case-Studies in Topology Optimisation of Bracing Systems ROBERT BALDOCK
    STRUCTURAL OPTIMISATION IN BUILDING DESIGN PRACTICE : CASE -STUDIES IN TOPOLOGY OPTIMISATION OF BRACING SYSTEMS Robert Baldock Corpus Christi College June 2007 A dissertation submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Cambridge University Engineering Department Declaration Except where otherwise stated, this thesis is the result of my own research and does not include the outcome of work done in collaboration. This thesis has not been submitted in whole or in part for consideration for any other degree of qualification at the University or any other institute of learning. The thesis contains 49 figure, 14 tables and less than 42,000 words. Robert Baldock Corpus Christi College Cambridge June 2007 Abstract Keywords: structural topology optimisation, structural design practice, bracing design, Evolutionary Structural Optimisation, Pattern Search, Optimality Criteria, Genetic Programming, computer-aided design, large-scale structural size optimisation This thesis aims to contribute to the reduction of the significant gap between the state- of-the-art of structural design optimisation in research and its practical application in the building industry. The research has focused on structural topology optimisation, investigating three distinct methods through the common example of bracing design for lateral stability of steel building frameworks. The research objective has been aided by collaboration with structural designers at Arup. It is shown how Evolutionary Structural Optimisation can be adapted to improve applicability to practical bracing design problems by considering symmetry constraints, rules for element removal and addition, as well as the definition of element groups to enable inclusion of aesthetic requirements. Size optimisation is added in the optimisation method to improve global optimality of solutions.

  • Building Foundations
    A SQUARE PEG IN A ROUND HOLE WEALTH CREATION A SQUARE PEG IN 22 Bishopsgate is the tallest building in the City of London and the second tallest in western Europe. However, the most extraordinary feature of this new skyscraper is not its sheer size, but the ingenious structural engineering – or ‘structural gymnastics’ as the team A ROUND HOLE describes it – that has enabled the remains of an earlier, failed development to be transformed into a large efficient modern office block.
