Example text
There is never a direct connection between a supporting element and the ground. The wing of the station is oriented toward the south. We set the angle of the roof by the inclination of the sun on the solstice so that between the middle of June and November the sun does not enter the interior of the space. After November the façade lets light into the whole volume of the interior space. This permits us to have a building with very little need for extra climatization. 45 I was interested in the idea of creating a structure that is based on certain proportions of the human body.
However, if you incline the pylon, the forces are not only compensated for by the cables behind but also by the weight of the pylon itself. If the pylon is inclined enough and heavy enough, you can almost compensate the forces of the whole bridge purely through the pylon itself. This is what I tried to do here. 57 58 It is important to understand this object mechanically, and this will be one of the few times I will talk about this subject. You see, mechanically, what is happening is that each segment of the pylon or mast has a certain weight that pulls downward.
The next element of the pylon has then another weight––another force––and so on, and in each case the resultant stays in the pylon. Finally, the resultant compensates with the horizontal force coming from the deck and arrives as a pure vertical force into the foundation. The foundation is very small relative to the huge span of the bridge. It is interesting that, if the dead load produces a resultant at this point, then the live load will move it away. And then we have other problems, like the wind and many other things that we have to take into account in a cantilevering system.
