Kevin BERRYSenior Structural Engineer Formerly Buro Happold Sydney, Australia kevin.berry@ttw.com.au Kevin Berry, born 1981, received his civil engineering degree from the Univ. of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. He has practiced in New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom – where he worked at Buro Happold from 2006-2010. Robert HART Senior Analyst Buro Happold London, UKrobert.hart@burohappold.com Robert Hart, born 1978, received his civil engineering degree from the Univ. of Bath and his PhD from Univ. of Nottingham. He joined Buro Happold in 2006. The Exhibition Centre at the new Cairo Expo City development comprises a curved roof structure sweeping over four internal exhibition halls and covering over 180,000 m² of plan area. This project has been driven by the design team’s desire for complete integration of structure and architecture while efficiently realising a complex free-form shape. This paper presents the technical and logistical development of the roof structure, integration with architecture, operation and servicing, and the structural design and optimisation of the spatial roof truss. |
