Abstract

Several
alternative concepts could be developed that would integrate the structure of
the Roof Park shopping complex with the flood defense. It is common practice in
engineering to develop various concepts, keeping the project goal in mind. This
is a creative process that should not be hampered by overly precise
descriptions of the desired performance. The provisionary concepts need to be
verified in a later design step, to guarantee that the final solution meets the
project requirements (see pages 62-65 for an explanation of the design method).
This results in a limited number of realistic alternatives, one of which has to
be selected for further development. This selection is usually done on the
basis of a set of criteria that could be considered ‘soft’ requirements.
