California Academy of Science: The Terrace
2014Co-Authors: Mark Cavagnero AssociatesAbstract:Detail of "floating" roof and Glass Frameless Door system (folded open); The California Academy of Sciences is a natural history museum. The primary building in Golden Gate Park was completely rebuilt in 2008. The Terrace was built with oversight and approval from Renzo Piano, the architect of the new Academy building. Admission to the Academy is required in order to access The Terrace, which is located in the Academy's West Garden, amidst sculptures by Maya Lin. To emphasize the "lightness" of the steel and Glass box (with two sliding Glass walls), the structural beams are recessed into the roof assembly and thin titanium rods are utilized, contributing to a thin roof profile and airy feel. Skylights and blue shadowboxes made of recycled resin recall a bright blue sky even on foggy days. The height of the building was determined by the tallest Frameless Glass Door system (11 feet, 4 inches) obtainable, a custom system that glides along a recessed track set in the ceiling.

The development of a Frameless Glass Door made for wheel loaders
2014Co-Authors: Josefin HultAbstract:This thesis performed on master level covers an assignment given by the cab division at Volvo Construction Equipment (Eskilstuna, Sweden). The thesis has been carried out by Josefin Hult during the period 2014-01-23 to 2014-05-30 at Malardalen University.Volvo Construction Equipment manufactures products including wheel loaders, backhoe loaders and articulated haulers. The assignment involves developing the standard Door for larger wheel loaders. The current Door has a welded frame surrounding the Glass that is considered outdated and not cost effective. Volvo Construction Equipment wishes that the Door was made in Glass in a greater extent. The aim of the assignment has been to generate concepts regarding a Glass Door that fulfills given requirements. Three research questions have been stated and answered during the process.The product development process has consisted of three phases: information gathering, concept development process and development of detailed concept. For example, field studies and benchmarking have been performed to gather information about competitors’ products and the manufacturing and assembling of the current Door. Concepts for handrails, sealant and overall Door design have been generated in an iterative process. All components of the Door have been developed into a detailed concept during the last phase of the process. The process has resulted in a Frameless Glass Door. The concept suggestion consists of; a tempered sheet of Glass, a clip list (sealant) that covers the edges of the Glass, two different handrails, inner and outer handles, a gas spring, components to attach handrails against the Glass, a cover and a lock mechanism.The major conclusion that is drawn is that it is fully possible to develop a Door made in Glass in a greater extent than the current Door. Many competitors have machines where the Door is made in Glass in a large extent. This makes it believable that the Glass Door also will be perceived as timely and more modern and clear.Recommendations have been developed if there is interest in further development. The recommendations include, among others, development of handrail and test of prototype to ensure that all requirements are fulfilled.Figures are produced by the author if not stated otherwise.
