| Abstrait: |
In the last decades design initiatives have been taken in The Netherlands regarding building on water. Three design projects, incorporating aluminium as the main structural material, are shown in the paper. The projects include a floating building, a floating road and a connection between building and road. The building and the connection are worked out on designers level, while the road has also been calculated and tested in practice. Aluminium is concluded to be a suitable material for building on water due to its typical material properties. |
