Highlights

Petal-shaped RHS tube domes (9.45 m & 10.52 m diameter)
Unique architectural form with open and closed petal configuration
Fabrication-ready structural detailing for complex geometry

Challenge

The petal-shaped dome geometry required precise structural detailing to support the mix of open and closed petals while maintaining stability and constructability.

Solution

Nord Engineers delivered fabrication-ready structural detailing for the RHS tube framework, preserving the architectural intent of the 9.45 m and 10.52 m domes with accurate geometry and connection details.
