Challenges:
- Design included large open spaces and curved walls.
- Key bracing walls were limited.
- Heavy stone wall cladding needed to consider seismic and high wind loads.
Challenges met:
- Slender steel portal frames were incorporated in the building fabric.
- This provided lateral bracing to support the roof over large open spaces.
- Reinforced masonry with specific engineering design foundations stabilised the wall cladding.
