Collaborative design between architecture and structure of large complex ice shell based on air-ribbed inflatable mold: A case of ice restaurant

Abstract

In 2019, the ice restaurant at the 21st Harbin Ice and Snow World is one of the representative works of contemporary Chinese ice shell architecture. Through the summary of practical experience of the ice restaurant. The design thinking and practice method of coordination between architecture and structure of large complex ice shell are elaborated in detail. The logic and advantages of air-ribbed inflatable mold construction method, numerical simulation optimization process based on Grasshopper platform and structural performance calculation of ABAQUS platform are included. The feasibility of collaborative design method in the design of ice shell building is proved. It promotes the development of ice shell construction. On the basis, the future development direction is prospected.
