This document summarizes the technical elements of an ice skating facility. It describes three types of structural designs - self-supporting mushroom columns, mushroom support trusses with a double curved roof, and a walking path with the same shape logic. It also discusses optimization of the mesh relaxation and roof design. Ventilation requirements and airflow distribution are analyzed. Materials used include steel, fiberglass, and concrete. Acoustic properties and cooling systems are also outlined. The basic technical elements needed for an efficient facility are insulated walls, efficient refrigeration and ventilation, and a heating system.

27. Optimization – mesh relaxation
Two columns

28. Optimization – mesh relaxation

29. Structure strategy- Subdivision

30. Structure concept- mushroom columns

31. Type A: Self surpport mushroom columns

32. Previous solution:
More materials cost

33. Choosen solution: flatten trusses.
Moment distribution: grows from bottom to top.
65m

34. Compares to the former solution, saves materials, has familiar
deformation.

35. Type B: Mushroom support trusses + Double curved roof
Guides rain water & fits the architectureconcept

36. Previous solution A: non-symmetrical, more
materials cost, huge structure height
