On the other hand, heritage sites, with proper management, increase quality of life, employment, improve income of local households and serve as overall catalysts of sustainable development. Lack of heritage in an urban area typically correlates to variety of social and economic problems. Spreading of infra- and supra-structures into countryside lead to discovery of new archaeological sites, and it is reasonable to expect that the number of presented archaeological sites will increase in the future. Recent growth of urban areas towards development of metropolises and megacities further increases requirements for efficient land use, and it as well further endangers heritage properties which are usually occupying best locations. Lecture Sustainable Construction – Application of large span structures for heritage sites – towards sustainable urban/metropolitan/megacity development Based on the deflections of the original fabric an innovative huge pneumatic cushion was developed.Īt the end, discussion is focused on problem of future hangar conservation.ĭr Natasa Zivaljevic-Luxor, Director of the National Heritage Foundation, Belgrade, Serbia Four of the southwards directed roof bays were replaced by PTFE, which guaranteesĪ high general transparency to let in natural light. At both ends of the building are doors which consist of two fixed and six movable elements.Īfter announced insolvency of Cargolifter in 2002, the hangar was modified into a leisure park with bathing areas and a tropical rain forest. The central part of the hangar is of cylindrical shape consisting five steel arches covered with a PVC coated polyester fabric. Short introduction on history of airship hangars, is followed by description of the design, construction, fabrication and building process of this one, ordered by German company Cargolifter.

For building of such size standard solutions could not have been applied and some regulations and guidelines were not applicable either. Overall dimensions of 220 m in width, 360 m in length and 107 m in height made this building one of the biggest steel buildings in the world.

Lecture Sustainable Construction – From the Cargolifter Airship Hangar to Tropical IslandĪ hangar of enormous dimensions, for developing production and operation of airship plant, has been built near Berlin, on former military airfield site in 1999/2000. Hartmut Pasternak, Professor and Chair of Steel and Timber Structures Brandenburg University of Technology, Cottbus (Germany) Traditionally the concept of sustainability embraces the preservation of the environment, as well as critical development-related issues such as the efficient use of resources, continual social progress, stable economic growth, and the eradication of poverty. Its meaning is often clouded by differing interpretations and by a tendency for the subject to be treated superficially. «Sustainability» is one of the world’s most talked about but least understood words. We look forward to receiving your application, sure that your attendance will be valuable for the success of the event.
