PROJECT
CHALLENGES
A seven-metre-high structure with a diameter of 28 metres is the centrepiece of the Jewish Museum Berlin's new ANOHA children's world in the former wholesale flower market hall in Kreuzberg. The single-storey, CO2-neutral building is a modern interpretation of Noah's Ark - ANOHA for short - from the Torah, designed by the US firm Olson Kundig and planned by Berlin architects Engelbrecht. Local spruce is the dominant material in the supporting structure, walls and ceilings, as well as the flooring and interior furnishings. The exhibition space, consisting of a wooden rib structure, is flanked by workshop rooms, a foyer with cloakroom and staff and washrooms.
Challenges: The building was constructed in a hall. The basis for this was a 3D measurement with a full scan, which we imported into our model.
ADVANTAGES
For the arched structure at the centre of the exhibition in particular, every component and strip had to be individually designed and evaluated.
Features that were particularly helpful during the implementation:
bocad modules: Timber construction, Glass construction, Trusses
IFC interface
There are few programmes that cover the areas of timber construction, steel construction, glass construction, prefabricated house construction, etc. equally. This is one of the strengths of bocad.
