Case Study: Catenary Structures
The document presents a case study on the catenary structures used in the design of the Museum of Architecture and Photography in Budapest, highlighting its architectural concept, construction, and material details. Key focus areas include the development process, structural components, and spatial planning to create a seamless integration between the museum's interior and the surrounding park. It concludes with a summary of the design's form development, spatial qualities, and execution details.

- 3. In physics andgeometry, a catenary is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends. Structures built on this principle are termed as catenary structures. There are mathematical analogies too involved in a catenary structure, but the scope of this presentation will be to reflect a comprehensive ARCHITECTURAL study of the structure. DEFINITIO N

- 14. Spatial Planning Need forcatenary The basement holds most of the parking spaces and other services. As discussed earlier public based commercial activities are kept on the ground floor to create the amount of openness. At the same time The entry points from side, invite people inside the building transitioning from the bright ground floor to the specifics of darker the upper floors. The larger floor plates are taken by the exhibition and museum spaces and its surfaces namely 1st and 2nd floors. The 3rd and 4th floors are kept as utility like archives and library spaces for general public. Also the height isolates commotion so thebest suited configuration thus generated. Also the top activities have ample views of the park and adjoining landscapes of serenity. Blent in the context, flowy column free spaces and creating a form which is iconic yet contextual, catenary roofing was best suited for the job. MUSEUMOFARCHITECTUREAND PHOTOGRAPHY,
- 15. Structure The master diagram MUSEUMOFARCHITECTUREAND PHOTOGRAPHY, Plywoodskin is nailed to timber roofribs. Vertical timber elements from eaves to hip transfer wind loads via bending action Glulam timber ribs work as catenary beams 500mm Thick concrete wall provides vertical support and lateral stability. 800x500mm columns to support the steel ring beam 500mm dia, circular hollow section. The following partially built view of the structure helps us understand the key components of the constructional aspects. The lookout towards the structure is simplistic yet truly an elegant exploitation of modern industrial advancement and homogeneity in design and execution of the architectural works in modern days.
- 16. Roof/form The catenary component MUSEUMOFARCHITECTUREAND PHOTOGRAPHY, Thefollowing components lead to an outcome shown in adjoining figure. As discussed before, increased tension and reduced bending action, the glulam beams make it more rigid. On the other hand the continuous steel hollow section provide it with the necessary rigidity. Connecting the park and the interior spaces, not piercing through the skyline. ----------------------------------------------------------- The roof is also a derivative of the considerable wind loads coming from the park hence the eaves have been kept down low, which also responds to the scale, connecting the building to the sky. The tight knit of the steel sections prevent the structure from tearing apart. The shingles are also a part of Hungary's existing architecture yet satisfactorily covering the structure profile. A schematic model of the structure, showing the internal profile of the building and its generated roof profile.

Its quite appreciable the choice and bold decisions of the designer. Proves that there is no outdated means of construction, there are just outdated designers. - LEAD

A view of internal skeleton and its connections Roof timber ribs, are well isolated from the main structure via movement joints, making the structure rigid enough to stand alone and the primary structure taking its weight. Below shown dowelled member are concealed by timber plugs, provides movability which can take care ofexpansion at the same time or any movement due to anomalies. Separation of primary structure from the roof.

For acquiring such catenary curves, the fabrication industries need specific data, which is provided by manufacturers to understand material limitations. Also, It talks about tolerances that shall be considered, to make the design flexible at conception stages itself. FABRICATION ASPECTS
