Concept Statement
The project starts to analysis an exisiting structures(Qingdao Cruise Terminal by CCDI) with Karamba, then design a new structure based on the program of the Terminal.
The design concept is to use the principle stress and principle moment lines to find the crease on a curved surface to fold it to a spatial plated structure, which create a column-free space for the interior, while introducing natural lighting on the roof.

Spatial Experience
Roof Geometry Analysis
The principle stressline of the roof geometry is calculated from the Karamba script, which identifiy the most stress part of the roof geometry
1st Folding
Then based on the principle moment, roof geometry has been folded.
2nd Folding
Karamba analysis shows the weakness of horizontal load, then then a secondary folding has been applied to the structure
Final Structure
All right received
