纽约时报大厦结构设计中的挑战
The New York Times Building, currently under construction in New York City,is a study of balance and compromise. The vision of The New York Times to create a build ing ahead of the times was balanced by the goals of real estate developer Forest City Ratnerto develop an economically efficient building to maximize their leasable space on the upper floors. The innovative European-style architectural design of architect Renzo Piano Building Workshop was blended with the understanding of local building code and practice by NewYork architect Fox/Fowle Architects. One of the principal architectural features of the building, the expression of exterior steel，involved the compromise of aesthetic appearance, structural adequacy, and fabrication and erection practicality. The duality of each aspect of the building design from the ownership and design team partnerships to the overall balance between innovation and efficiency provided numerous engineering design challen-ges. This paper will outline some of these challenges, focusing on those driven by aesthetic, erection, and fabrication considerations of the exterior steel.
