Build it, and indeed, the world’s top cyclists will
come. That was the thought that launched the

Hudayriyat Island Velodrome in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E., a
3,500-spectator indoor cycle arena. Both Revit and
Tekla were used on the project, and the two played
nicely with

The project involved Tekla so ware for connec on
design, detailing, fabrica on and erec on of steel

and concrete as well as coordinated facade, R.C.C.
and M.E.P. Perhaps most remarkable was Tekla’s
ability to manage the complex prese ng of the
2,000 metric ton roof steel and ensure proper

Commercial Project: Lyyra, Finland

The mission: build a mul story building that
occupies a whole city block on top of an exis ng

metro sta on. The train service is not to be
interrupted and let’s run a road through it on a
diagonal. This is what was required in Helsinki,
Finland.

The Lyrra project stood out not just for its daring
but also for its data-driven approach and

collabora on between stakeholders. The project
was also recognized for its commitment to
sustainability, including using “green I-beams,”
created at half the carbon cost of standard steel

beams, and recycling 95% of demoli on waste on-
site.
