Välkommen till RunAn i Chalmers kårhus och årets upplaga av design- och konstruktionsdagen.
Gothenburg Cable Car is a complex project.
Although cable car systems are well proven in demanding mountain environments
there are many unknown issues to deal with in the difficult urban context and
the challenging geology of Gothenburg.
The conference lectures will explicitly
address the complexity of the project. In our professional engineering culture,
in the community and Chalmers as well, we often rigorously reduce the intricacy
of boundary conditions in a given proposal to be able to optimize its design in
detail. However, in a complex infrastructure project, such as the Gothenburg
Cable Car, the boundary conditions are inevitable shaped by incompatible demands
that will not disappear. It is a crucial lesson for any engineer who works with
large-scale urban projects.
Consequently, the collaboration between the
partners of the design project is paramount, a collaboration based on trust
both professionally and personally. The conference lectures will give examples
on how the Gothenburg Cable Car emerges in such a collaborative climate between
the partners and stakeholders of the project. After the competition, it is the
design process that shapes the Gothenburg Cable Car.
