Project description
The “airplane” is a three-dimensional steel structure, which distributes its loads to the foundation across three concrete cores. Construction elements are solid wall and truss girders. The “airplane floor” and “airplane roof” distribute their loads to the surrounding airplane-high truss girder. The airplane floor thus spans freely between the edge girders, the roof generally spans freely across both sides of the building. Spans and cantilevers measure up to 60 m.
Technical specifications
Upper edge of roof 32.20 m
Length of the polygon-shaped trusses up to 50 m
Span of the main trusses up to 120 m
Steel structure approx. 3,560 t
