 Doubly curved concrete roof is an innovative technique combining medieval building principles with futuristic construction methods. We can clearly see the influence from the architecture of the past in shape of the structure with ultra-modern computational design and fabrication techniques. It shows how lightweight structures, efficient construction and intelligent. adaptive building system can be combined all together. The ultimate goal is to reduce both embodied and operational emissions in the building industry. The structure is composed of two thin layers of reinforced concrete connected by a grid of concrete ribs and steel anchors. In order to reduce the amount of formwork material, the roof is built using a flexible formwork consisting of a tensioned cable net covered with a thin membrane onto witch the concrete is sprayed.

Location-Port Praski

Image
 I chose Port Praski ( Praski Harbour ) as the location for my building. During my visit to Liverpool I was fascinated by Albert Docks . When I started working on my final project, I linked my experience from visiting Albert Docks with Port Praski in Warsaw, which recently undergoing renovation of the whole site. It is a river port on the Vistula river in Warsaw, the Capital of Poland, in the Praga-North district. The port was built in the area of the Vistula river glacier valley and at the beginning (before the second world war) it was called the New Port. In the interwar period, three port basins were built. The port  was used for cargo loading and as a winter port. later the cargo handling functions were taken over by the Port Zeranski. Until 2012, there was a water station in the Port Praski, which was built in 1885, and it was then used as a floating marina for steam boats.  The port performed its function until 1963, when a new port Zeranski was put into use. After this period
