CONCEPT
 The Millennium Dome is one of the largest single roof structures
performed worldwide.
 His image resembles a large white tent subject to 12 yellow towers 100
feet high.
 Each of these towers represents the hours of a clock and every month
of the year.
CONCEPT
 Its original design was intended to accommodate major exhibitions, but
to the failure to call for public level was reused for music concerts and
events, both artistic and sports.
 The inspiration for the design was a big sky, a cosmos in which all
events take place, the radial lines and circles high and tensile roof
structure.
STRUCTURE
 The structure was designed by the Buro Happold.
 The entire roof structure weighs less than the air contained
within the building.
DOME
 
 The spectacular roof, only interrupted by a hole through which a
ventilation shaft out ( Black wall Tunnel), raised on a circular base of
365m in diameter, with undulating edge 1km and a maximum height of
50m, providing a covered area 100.000.
 The cover is suspended and supported by high-strength cables ranging
from the outer end of the steel masts 12 no's, which pass through the
Teflon fabric, until the fabric of fiberglass.
DOME
 Although it is called dome is not strictly not hold its own weight,
 It is not self-supporting and requires the help of a network of wires
attached to the masts.
 The 12 columns of the structure with a height of 100m.
MATERIALS
 In its construction were
• concrete,
• steel towers painted yellow,
• cloth glass fiber matrix of PTFE ( Teflon ) for cover and
• rubber feet anchor it to the ground.
• It took cable 70km high strength steel to attach the fabric to the towers.
O2 ARENA
 Chosen as the best International Stadium concert industry
trade publication Pollster Concert since it opened ( 2007).
 Built entirely within the structure of the former Millennium
Dome, the spectacular O2 Arena on the Greenwich peninsula,
has 23,000 seats and can accommodate a variety of sports and
entertainment.
 Discarded traditional survey methods, due to its location
within an existing structure, the new roof 4.500tn required for
new events, was built on the ground and then lifted into
position using a system of ” jack chains ” computer controlled.
Cont.
 Using 16 shots major chains attached to the upper
reinforcements of eight new concrete cores, lifting the new
fabric to 4m below the existing building structure, according
to arrangements of air and smoke deposit.
 The stage design responds to its unique context, tiered to the
public surrounding the event space with spectacular lighting
that emphasizes the scale and volume of public space.
