Cabot circus roof, broadmead, bristol

摘要

The Cabot Circus retail development incorporates free-form vaulted and shell shaped glass and steel roofs with a combined area of 5,850m~2. These stunning and eye-catching elements have been designed as a series of ten interlocking glazed undulating panels, spanning up to 55m in places. Early in the design process the proposed roofs became divorced from the intended building elevations. This called for a complex geometry study and involved realigning of the roof geometry without compromising the artistic intent and achieving support from adjacent structures.
