3 Art Gallery Ontario - Toronto, Ontario, Canada The 180 meter long, 14 meter high glass and glulam façade wall is the main feature in Architect Frank Gehry s rejuvenation of the Art Gallery of Ontario. Equilibrium Consulting was retained by Structurlam Products, the glulam supplier, to carry out the detailed design and engineering for the hundreds of geometrically different and complex connections. The contract required that all connection be essentially concealed from view. In addition to the considerable challenges in geometry, many connections are also required to carry large axial and bending forces along multiple axes in combination, while accommodating stringent tolerances and aesthetic requirements. The presentation will illustrate the design, modelling, fabrication and erection challenges our team encountared during the last 3 years of work on this project. Different parts of this large scope project will be presented with the emphasis on the coordination of work done by many different consultants and subcontructors. Special attention will be directed to the glulam to glulam and glulam to steel connections. The very demanding geometry together with the large forces resulted in very challenging connection design, manufacturing and erection. The use of computer modelling in solving complicated design issues combined with on line meetings with consultants in different regions of North America will be presented as a model of cooperation. This project was only possible thanks to the extraordinary team work between the Architect, Engineer of Record, General Contractor, Specialty Enegineers, Fabaricators and Erectors and their dedication to the final sucess. 1 Transformation ARCHITECT: Gehry International ENGINEER OF RECORD: Hallcraw Yolles SPECIALTY TIMBER ENGINEER: Equilibrium Consulting GLULAM MANUFACTURER: Structurlam Products 1.1 Glulam Areas - Dundas Façade - South Tower - Walker Court 1.2 Main Parts - Radials - Louver Headers - Top Chord - Bottom Chord - Mullion Grid 3
