Sequence of slides as presented
by Dante Bini at Stanford University
in his course of Construction Automation
(Slides 50 - 59)


50. Model and prospective rendering of a self-erecting covered tribunes for a proposed soccer city stadium, provided with parking facilities under the play-field.
51. Model and perspective rendering of a new concept for a multi purpose coverable soccer stadium.
52. Multi-purpose stadium with retractable roof, as proposed for the 2002 World Soccer Cup. (left) Sections, internal perspectives and model with conceptual pneumatic lifting system of the basic structure. (right)
53. Conceptual Construction Process and Perspective Rendering of an coverable Soccer Stadium to be built in a special natural valley and using natural landscaping and soil formation.
54. The Tower City Concept: a) perspective of the mega-structure one mile tall and one mile wide at the base, b) model of the Tower City city-infrastructure designed for 600,000 inhabitants.
55. The Tower City footing system conceived as a reinforced concrete circular dam to be built in a shallow coastal sea bed. The three basic functions of the dam are: a) to provide new dry land inside the dam, to be used as central park of the City; b) to provide a circular reinforced concrete foundation capable to support the load of the entire super-structure; c) to provide an efficient anchoring structure for all the multi-directional cables needed to support the city's infrastructure and the new city's land.
56. Typical Middle Section segment of the Tower City Infrastructure.
57. Typical Floor Plan Segment of the Topwer City Infrastructure.
58. Typical Front Elevation of a segment of the Tower City Complex.
59. View of the lower portion of the Tower City Complex Model and section at the lower floors.
