The Salginatobel Bridge in Switzerland is a 135m long, three-hinged arch bridge built from steel and concrete between 1929-1930. The arch span is 90m high and rises 13.5m, while the deck rises 3.97m from one end to the other at a 3% gradient. A three-hinged arch design was chosen to allow for flexibility of movement in the mountain and reduce stresses from temperature changes, preventing cracking or failure that a fixed arch could experience.

High Rise Building Research Document
The Taipei Performing Arts Center in Taiwan elevates a substantial part of its program to create an open public square underneath. By lifting the main plateau, panoramic views of the city are created. The building contains more void space in the form of this three-dimensional urban square than mass. The square fundamentally becomes part of the building and is activated by various balconies and terraces with different programs. The four "legs" of the building that support the horizontal slab are each programmed differently and contain performance spaces at varying altitudes, connected by a system of loops, stairs, and elevators.

R. buckminster fuller
R. Buckminster Fuller was an American architect and engineer known for developing the geodesic dome. He was also a philosopher who had unconventional ideas. He attended Harvard but was expelled twice. For decades, Fuller developed many designs focused on efficiency and lower costs, documenting his work daily. His most famous structure is the geodesic dome, a spherical structure based on triangles that distributes stress evenly. Fuller designed dome-shaped structures like the Biosphere museum in Montreal and Dymaxion houses, which sought to use minimal materials efficiently. However, none of his house designs were widely produced. Fuller received patents for his dome design and popularized its use in buildings.

- 2. Dimensions of Base Plate: The fighters 0.40 x 6.00 m , The vertex 0.20 x 3.80 m Capacity: 8 tons or 350kg/m2 Height above water: 90 m Why a three pinned joint arch ? A three-pinned-arch was chosen for its ability to move and adjust to the slight movements of the mountain. Whereas a fixed arched would experience massive stress from the movement, would crack and possibly fail. Stresses also build up from temperature changes within the structure. The three-pinned-arch is unaffected by these temperature changes.
