Sydney Maritime Museum
Sydney Maritime Museum
Demonstrated System: Steel Trusses
Architect: Philip Cox, Richardson and Taylor
Location: Darling Harbor, Sydney, Australia
Date: 1986 to 1988
Surrounded by tall buildings around it, the Maritime Museum provides an interesting contrast, as the functions were below the water level. Privately funded and owned, it is part barge, and has three sections (the display, the exhibition & visitor center, and a restraint). North of the building are three semi-submerged tanks in which there is an oceanarium; this allows visitors to walk through the walkways which are surrounded by water. The tanks are covered by fabric roofs hung from masts and steel cable, whereas the main museum roof structures are supported by steel trusses.
