    Ice Rink Roof: Kurt Ackermann and Partners 1983

    Uploaded by

    Niket Pai
    The ice rink roof in Munich's Olympic Park features a steel-trussed arch structure spanning 100m and rising 19m at its peak to provide an open-air ice surface protected from the weather. The arch is stabilized by two sets of steel cables hanging in opposing curves and forming a 75cm grid that supports a wooden lattice and translucent plastic sheeting. The construction allows for ventilation and natural light while using minimal materials in an elegant structural design.

    • To enable the open ice-surface in the Olympic Park to be used all round the year,
    independently of the weather, a light roofing, naturally without supports, was required.

    • Architects and engineers solved this problem together in an inspired fashion by means of a steel-
    trussed arch of three chords.

    • With a span of 100m and a height of roughly 19m at its apex, the arch is capable of
    transmitting any thrusts to two large concrete abutments .

    • Two sets of cables hang in opposing curves from the arch, stabilizing it by their anchorage and
    forming a net.

    • These symmetrical nets of cable have a grid of 75 x 75 cm and support a wooden lattice,
    upon which is attached a translucent plastic sheeting.

    • At the roof, edges the cable nets are bordered by garland-shaped cables which pass over
    adjustable angled supports of steel being anchored fast.

    • The construction and form of the hanging from the arch correspond in the main to that of the
    roof edge, thus allowing the same components to be used and also producing a series of
    elliptically strung openings below the latticed arch

    • These are filled by From inside


    & glass eyes
    equipped with
    ventilators.

    • The continuous, between about 3 and 5 m tall


    facades, between the edge of the roof and
    the ground in the region of the angled
    supports incline from the eaves to the
    interior at an angle corresponding to that of
    these supports.

    • The building thus has the first ever in itself


    mobile, horizontally barred glass façade,
    which is able to participate in the formal
    changes allowed by the anchoring cables.
    This extensive, and in itself
    symmetrical area-covering
    structure makes do with a minimum
    of materials.

    The logic of its construction, its


    beauty, elegance and exceptional
    boldness give the impression that
    genuine functionality, invented by
    technical intelligence, led to the real
    aesthetic effect.
