The Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center in Baku, Azerbaijan consists of two main structural systems: a concrete structure combined with a space frame system. The space frame system enabled a free-form structure to be built and saved construction time. It absorbs vertical loads through curved columns and tapering cantilever beams. Reinforced concrete is used for shear walls and to support the space frame structure. The building is also reinforced with deep concrete piles to withstand earthquakes up to magnitude 7.0.

The Heydar Aliyev Center principally consists
of two collaborating systems: a concrete structure combined with a space frame system. SPACE FRAME
The space frame system enabled the construction
of a free-form structure and saved significant time throughout the construction process. In order to achieve large-scale column-free spaces that allow the visitor to experience the fluidity of the interior, vertical structural elements are absorbed by the envelope and curtain wall system. The particular surface geometry fosters unconventional structural solutions. The introduction of curved ‘boot columns’ to achieve the inverse peel of the surface from the ground to the West of the building. The ‘dovetail’ tapering of the cantilever beams that support the building envelope to the East of the site! CONCRETE
Reinforced concrete is mainly
used to construct shear walls as the partition to separate main spaces and to support the space frame. It also used to construct the footing of the building. SUBSTRUCTURE The substructure was developed to incorporate a flexible relationship between the rigid grid of the space frame and the free-formed exterior cladding seams. These seams were derived from a process of rationalizing the complex geometry, usage, and aesthetics of the project. As Earthquakes are one of the biggest threats to construction in Baku, the building must be reinforced by massive 150-foot-long concrete piles buried below the Earth's surface to withstand an earthquake measuring up to magnitude 7.0 THREE DIMENSIONAL SPACE FRAME
DEFINITION:-
A SPACE FRAME OR SPACE
STRUCTURE IS A TRUSS-LIKE, LIGHTWEIGHT RIGID STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTED FROM INTERLOCKING STRUTS IN A GEOMETRIC PATTERN. SPACE FRAMES CAN BE USED TO SPAN LARGE AREAS WITH FEW INTERIOR SUPPORTS.
