The former Diamond Exchange in Amsterdam, now known as Capital C, has been restored to its former glory after a radical renovation. This national monument has not only been returned to its original shape, but also includes a new steel-and-glass roof.
This project was designed using BIM technology. During the documentation process, IFC files were used for the data exchange. The architectural building model was first created in REVIT, then exported to RFEM to apply loads and complete the full structural analysis and design.
Since March 2011, a glass pedestrian bridge with a length of 98.4 ft has connected St. Michael's Hospital with the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute research center. The supporting structure consists of several oval steel rings which are twisted together. The bridge, with a section height of 15 ft and a width of 12.4 ft, was designed by Diamond and Schmitt Architects Inc. from Toronto.
The designed object is a heat exchanger to which a chimney was set up, a construction with an overall height of 199.1 ft. The structure consists mainly of sheets that were reinforced by exterior steel cross-sections in the bottom area.
