Structural Design(BOM 170)

a course in the master programme

Structural Engineering and Building Technology

Student projects 2015

The course is an advanced project-based course about development of structural

concepts. The main aim is promote the students’ ability to develop suitable,

efficient and innovative structures of different structural materials. The course is

about architectural and structural design of advanced and complex structures

and is given jointly by the division of Structural Engineering and the department

of Architecture.

The student’s projects 2015 was to develop bicycle and pedestrian bridges over

the river in the centre of Göteborg. The concepts should be designed with

respect to the context and stakeholder demands.

INTENTIONTo create an icon for Gothenburg and an enriched transportation

experience for everyone with comfortable spaces on deck, smoothrivertraffic and an exciting opening mechanism.

Improve the present infrastructure in the area, not only by bridging the river but also creating new connections of the height levels.

“The bridge should attract people to cross the river and reflect the

innovative spirit of the northern river bank. It should collaborate

with the boats in order to provide an efficient and reliable passage

for both pedestrians and boats”
