It is composed of six 15 3 4 floor slabs held in place by 13 shafts made up of latticed tube steel columns that rise from the ground through the roof.
Sendai mediatheque has an extremely unique structure.
The irregular nature of the undulating roof plane gave rise to varied levels of stress across the surface so additional steel meshes were inserted where necessary while maintaining an incredibly thin shell.
Toyo ito s innovative sendai mediatheque with its occupiable structural elements engineered by none other than sasaki makes an appearance.
The stadium s roof is covered by 8 844 solar panels.
