For the basic shape of the concrete I would use a complex profile wall or beam.
Or you could do the same with a polygon morph in elevation and then extrude the surface to get the width.

thanks, but with this suggested method cannot model this shape.
this shape has not constant profile. it is complicated.

How accurate do you need to be?
I was thinking of the side view as the profile shape,so the length would be the width of the platforms.
This would get you pretty close.
Any taper to the width could be done with roof planes an solid element operations.
If there is a bulge to the underside then that would be difficult.
Maybe convert to a morph and try to bulge the surface, but that may not be easy.

Archicad isn’t all that good at modelling complex curved shapes.
If you have the option of using other software (Rhino maybe?) then you can always import that into Archicad.

Its basically just a lot of work with the shelltool and Morph, buit its makable - in an segmented way.

My poor laptop is just too slow to make a quicktime-vid of the workflow - you have to wait until i can use a faster computer to get a Tutorial-video from me.

Just draw the half - you can mirror-duplicate it later.

First - you have to draw the thing from side-view just in lines - the outlines with lines and splines for the curving.

Then - segment it from a inner centerpoint

make some morph-lines from the curve to the basline to get them in 3D

Draw the front rectangular base-contour with morph to get a full morph surface

when switching to 3D, you will find the recangular shape - which you can draw out the depth.
than you draw further ceonstruction-lines in each segment to get the basepoints for some complex shells.

then You just have to adjust the shell-baselines to get the shape correct - for each segment.

If You have all shells, You can make the Base-Morph bigger - so You can SOE-Cutout the Form from the shells ..

Sonuds complex but its makeabel - In some hours - i'll make a Vid..

Ah, the old "create the bulge from the segmented ruled shell" trick.
That was awesome.
Thanks Heimo.

For sure you can do it in Autocad. There is an order that you can create a solid if you have the sections.
The real question, is do you have the layouts from Zaha Hadid.

Cool ! Nice modelling !
After making the elements,
You can convert them to morph, make a boolean->union, then with the white arrow select the faces you want to smooth and merge...
