SIMPLICITY IN STEEL
In the design of a steel streetcar stop for the Arbutus Corridor in Vancouver, B.C. the exploration of structure as ornament was made. Taking precedent from the structures of Mies Van Der Rohe, the streetcar station showcases the steel that makes its structure. To exemplify and showcase the steel, W-shape mem-bers where utilized for their clear identifi ability as structural ele-ments. To strengthen the purity and clarity of the Van Der Rohe infl uenced structure, a simple and clearly defi ned structural hi-erarchy and load distribution was designed. The structure con-tains four levels of member hierarchy. Purlins act as stiffening members, bracing the weak axis of the cantilevered joists. The joists, running cross sectionally, are the primary spanning mem-bers, collecting the initial snow load and material load on the structure. Two longitudinal girders direct loads from the joists into the four columns. The building is braced through the use of moment connections. Bents are created as the columns are connected by spanning joists and girders. To further brace the structure against strong lateral loads the columns are driven into the ground forming a moment connection at the base of the column. Through the process of designing with pure structural intention a truly simple and beautiful structure can be created. With the focus on clarity and purity of structure, a balance of structural effi ciency and articulation was made. Some members were slightly oversized for this cause, giving more importance to the aesthetic possibilities of the structure than could have been achieved with a purely effi ciency based design. The outcome is one of aesthetically reasoned structural design.
< EXPLODED AXONThe axon brakes apart the streetcar stop and exemplifi es the rational simplicity to which the structure was designed. The ar-ticulation of structural members becomes the ornament of the streetcar stop.

EARLY DESIGN WORK:THINKING THROUGH DRAWING
left: many different formal and structural ex-plorations where made at the beginning of the design process, and an evolution was made towards the current structural scheme.
above: day dreaming a simple design detail was born that was to be the genesis of the structure.
below: through drawing, geometries and porpor-tions were tweaked until the final scheme was produced.
thinking through drawing.
unsettling proportions early on... considered, balanced, and appropriate proportions...

dead load: w= .06k/ft
note: the loads are placed on the joist members because ultimately in this design the purlins purposes is to brace the weak axis of the joists. In studying forces flow in the structure, it was most acurate to distribute loads in this man-ner.
MULTIFRAME: AN OVERVIEW OF THE MODEL
![Page 15: A Tram Stop For Vancouver](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052512/568c387c1a28ab02359f1966/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

.75 wind load: 1.8k
Moment Diagram: Because of the high level of wind load on the structure, the columns provide the most lateral resistance so they have the highest moments. The moment graph also illustrates the clear necesity for member hierarchy with the col-umns needing to resit the most force, and the purlins the least. The only member with noticeable weak axis bending is the column, which will be illustrated in the column de-sign check.
Mmax for the structure: 4.825k-ft (column)
Axial Stress Diagram: As tributary mem-bers for all loading on the structure, the columns are the main members that need to take compression and tension stresses in mind. The joists between the columns also contain higher compression stresses, acting as bracing members reacting against the high wind load.
Pmax for the Structure: 3.017k (column)
Deflection Diagram: Deflection in the structure is most prominant in the columns with a total deflection of 0.052 inches. The deflection is well below the maximum al-lowed deflection factor. This graph also illustrates how there is a slight torsional effect in the girder due to the support of the joist cantilever. The actual deflection is neg-ligable, it is just exagerated in the deflection diagram.
Total Deflection For Structure: 0.052in
