INTRODUCTION

The 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will be held in Beijing.  This makes Beijing the first city in the world to host both Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Some new sports buildings, like National Speed Skating Oval, will be built employing spatial structures with innovation. Besides, sports facilities built for 2008 Summer Games, like National Stadium (Birds Nest) and National Aquatic Center (Water Cube) will be refurbished and capitalized on the legacy from 2008. Either old or new, all the construction will integrate long-term benefits of sustainability.

 

The annual symposium of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures(IASS 2022)will be affiliated with 13th Asian-Pacific Conference on Shell and Spatial Structures (APCS 2022). Special sessions pertinent to issues in Asian-Pacific area will be organized.

 

THEME AND TOPIC

The theme of the symposium is: Innovation, Sustainability and Legacy.

The theme of the symposium covers all aspects of shell and spatial structures and will include but not limited to the following topics:

  1.Cooling and Solar Updraft Towers

  2.Masts and Towers

  3.Concrete Shell Roofs

  4.Tension and Membrane Structures

  5.Metal Spatial Structures

  6.Timber and Bio-based Spatial Structures

  7.Computational Methods

  8.Structural Morphology

  9.Historical Spatial Structures

  10.Life-Cycle Design and Assessment of Shell and Spatial Structures

  11.Teaching of Shell and Spatial Structures

  12.Advanced Manufacturing and Materials

  13.Innovation in New Concepts and Projects

  14.Sustainability in Refurbished Facilities

  15.Legacy of Antiquity Structures and Modern Exploitation

  16.Disaster Mitigation, Wind and Earthquake Effects

 

SYMPOSIUM SESSIONS

As requested by President Lázaro, all IASS Working Groups are preparing to organize sessions in the Symposium. Individuals and groups are welcome to propose new sessionsand send the titles to the organizing committee.

WG21 EXPO

Internationally recognized and celebrated artists, designers, engineers, and researchers in cooperation with top universities from all over the world are invited to participate in a contest and exhibition of innovative lightweight structures. The structures must display a strong vision of structural design and innovation. They should demonstrably be the result of structural engineering focused research projects. It is our ambition to have an exhibition that shows new insights on structural typologies, through the design of a pavilion. The pavilions will be exhibited during the IASS/APCS 2022 Symposium in Beijing. During the conference, the jury of the contest, will award a prize to the most innovative realized structure. For more information please see: https://www.jjo33.com/iass-wg21.
