Abstract
The century project TRANSBAY TRANSIT CENTER in San Francisco, designed by the architects Pelli Clark Pelli, has a spacious park on the roof level, with several skylights, for the purpose to funnel daylight into the lower floors of the building. Three of those skylights are grid shells,
each consisting of a filigree grid of steel members, cables, and a double-curved, glazed surface. This paper is about the design, detailing, and construction of these grid shells. These grid shells are not extreme in span or shape; they are of a mature building type, but still innovative for
most designers and engineers. The design is resulting in three structurally robust buildings, consisting of components with many varied materials, from different manufacturers, with different tolerances, brought together successfully through a holistic planning process from the beginning.
位于旧金山的世纪工程TRANSBAY TRANSIT CENTER由建筑师Pelli Clark Pelli设计，屋顶有一个宽敞的公园，有几个天窗，目的是将阳光引入建筑的较低楼层。其中三个天窗是网格外壳，每个都由钢构件、电缆和双曲玻璃表面组成的细丝网格。本文是关于这些网格壳的设计、细节和构造。这些网格壳在跨度或形状上并不极端；它们是一种成熟的建筑类型，但对大多数设计师和工程师来说仍然是创新的。该设计产生了三座结构坚固的建筑，由来自不同制造商、具有不同公差的多种不同材料组成，从一开始就通过整体规划过程成功地结合在一起。
