AL&D Brochure A5 SINGAPORE STRUCTURAL STEEL SOCIETY Cordially invites you to the 21st ANNUAL LECTURE By Mr Tristram Carfrae Arup Sydney, Australia And DINNER 2005 Venus Grand Ballroom, Furama RiverFront Hotel 405 Havelock Road, Singapore Thursday 27th October 2005 6.30pm THE SINGAPORE STRUCTURAL STEEL SOCIETY The Singapore Structural Steel Society was formed with the objectives of constituting an association of engineers, architects, industrialists and others concerned with, and interested in, the analysis, design, construction, research and other aspects of structural steels. The Society provides a forum for its members, seminars, invited lectures, short courses, and publications etc. The Society aims to develop a resource of the best and latest information on the science, engineering and technology of structural steel, and strives to promote the proper use of structural steel under appropriate circumstances, for the benefit of the community and the region. Since the inception, there has been an upsurge of interest in Singapore towards the consideration of structural steel as an alternative material of construction. The Society has been very active in bringing together all those involved in research, teaching, design, fabrication, manufacture and construction of steel structures in the region. This is made possible through the organisation of seminars, evening talks and publication of quarterly newsletters and annual journals. The Society has also co-sponsored a number of international and regional conferences and has arranged workshops and short courses on various aspects of steel structures. The Structural Steel Fabricators Accreditation Scheme developed by the Society with the full support of the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore was launched in November 2002, with the aim of improving quality, safety standards and raising the professionalism of the industry. To bring closer new research findings and latest developments in steel construction around the world to members of the Society, it is our tradition to invite prominent guest speakers to deliver our annual lectures. Enquires and membership details, please contact: SSSS Secretariat Office, Ms Pauline Zee Tel 67356255 President, Mr Tan Tian Chong Tel 63255921 1st Vice President, Mr Ho Wan Boon Tel 97696021 2nd Vice President, Mr Bernard Chung Tel 65350610 Hon Secretary, Mr MS Islam Tel 68790464 Beijing Olympic Stadium Mr Tristram Carfrae Arup, Sydney, Australia Tristram Carfrae is a structural engineer, Principal and Arup Fellow. He is responsible for the design of an impressive array of award winning buildings and is regarded internationally as a leading designer of sporting stadia and lightweight long-span structures. Tristram is behind the design of The Water Cube - Beijing’s National Swimming Centre for the 2008 Olympics. He also boasts an impressive portfolio of facilities created for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, including the RAS Exhibition Halls, the Dunc Gray Velodrome and the Olympic Tennis Centre. Tristram has collaborated with many of the world’s leading architects, including Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers and Philip Cox, on projects where the structural form is itself an aesthetic statement. He has also helped design six structures that have won Special Awards from the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) – the world’s premier structural accolade. No other structural engineer has achieved this. Tristram believes that good buildings should consume less materials, energy, time and money while at the same time providing greater amenity. He has a reputation for challenging the established way of doing things, to explore better solutions, moulding both materials and people to his vision. This unique approach has produced some of the world’s most exciting structures including the City of Manchester Stadium, Singapore Expo, Aurora Place in Sydney, Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre and San Nicola Stadium in Bari, Italy. Tristram is a member of the global Arup Group Board, Arup Australasia Board and deputy chair of the Global Buildings Board. He is also chair of the Design and Technical Executive, which advises the global practice on all design and technical matters. He is one of six Arup Fellows (out of a global staff of 7,000). This accolade honours those who have significantly contributed to the firm’s reputation for excellence in innovation and design and designates him as a leader with the role of ensuring this continues. In 2005, Tristram was named as one of Australia’s Top 100 most influential engineers. He was Australian Professional Engineer of the Year in 2001. The structure of stadia – from exoskeletons to haute couture This paper traces the development of Stadia structures, particularly roof structures, from independent truss cantilevers through mast and cable solutions to three dimensional cable nets and finally the completely wrapped stadium. Tristram will illustrate this progression with Stadia that he has helped design: · Sydney Football Stadium, also known as Aussie Stadium was constructed in the mid eighties and seats 40,000. · San Nicola Stadium, Bari, constructed in the late eighties and seats 55,000. The focus for this stadium was sculptural quality. · Asian Games Stadium, Bangkok, constructed in the early nineties and seats 25,000, this stadium sees the introduction of lighting masts. · Lang Park, constructed in the late nineties with the desire to keep the overall height as low as possible whilst providing perfect sightlines for 50,000 spectators. · City of Manchester Stadium, constructed during the millennium for the Commonwealth Games then had to be converted into a soccer stadium within a six month programme. · Melbourne Cricket Ground North Stand constructed in the early noughties for the 2006 Commonwealth Games had to deal with the problem of a fairly aggressive wind climate. · Khalifa Olympic Stadium constructed in the early noughties for the 2008 Asian Games. This stadium has been likened to a ‘jewel in the desert’. · Beijing Olympic Stadium constructed in the mid noughties for the 2008 Olympic Games. Developed using Catia, CAD/CAM software developed for the aviation and auto industry. · Beijing National Swimming Centre constructed in the mid noughties for the 2008 Olympic Games. Also known as the Watercube. This sequence of stadia not only illustrates the progression of architectural approach and resulting (or generating) structural systems but also the way that design ideas migrate from project to project.

  • Total Design Over Time
    Total Design Total Total Design over time over time “ Ove Arup was arguably one of the greatest civil engineers of the 20th century.” Sir Jack Zunz Principal structural designer of the Sydney Opera House and former chairman of Ove Arup & Partners. ISBN 978-0953823963 £30 9 780953 823963 $50 www.arup.com Total Design over time Foreword Gregory Hodkinson Engineering is central to human progress – almost nothing is invented without it – and Ove Arup was an extraordinary engineer who was deeply concerned with that progress. His vision for the role of engineering in design and of design in engineering was shaped by humanistic, rather than simply technical, principles. This breadth of vision has inspired generations to pursue the art and science of Total Design in the firm he started at age 51 in 1946. The purpose of the firm founded by Ove has remained constant over the ensuing 70 years. The results of his admonition to expand its field of activity into adjoining fields, solely in the quest for overall quality, has produced the broadening body of work across the world that is sampled in this volume. In his latter years Ove was concerned with the impact of design at both small and large scale and the future we are effectively designing for humanity on our planet. If he were with us today I think he would recognise the pursuit of quality and the social purpose of design in the current work of the firm. I very much hope and fully expect they will be recognised in the work of the firm that is his legacy 70 years and more hence.

Designed with architect Jo Coenen & Co, the 28,000m² building includes seven collection fl oors and provides storage area for books, a theatre, a readers’ cafe and a restaurant overlooking the city. Arup was instrumental to the project from the very early stages, providing structural and building services design and specialist lighting advice. We designed a system incorporated into the fl ooring for distributing fresh air to building occupants. The atrium also serves as an outlet for air. The lighting design enhances the spatial experience by creating contrast between the various zones on the large collection fl oors. We also designed an innovative energy system for the library, which was realised through a holistic approach to architecture and engineering.
