Structural challenges related to museum design require diverse skill sets. Museums often incorporate innovative statement architecture that must be developed using high tech digital BIM technology with meticulous attention to detail, one of Saiful Bouquet’s core specialties. The support of the collection itself is also a very important consideration. Saiful Bouquet has developed creative solutions to allow museums a high degree of flexibility to provide relocatable supports for large, heavy, and often temporary exhibits that can impose large loads on the base structure. In high seismic zones, sometimes the need to protect from earthquake shaking particularly sensitive collections such as antiquities require high-tech approach such as base isolation of the building or introducing passive damping systems to minimize the intensity of shaking that the collection will experience. Saiful Bouquet has extensive experience with such high-tech applications as well.
