Octatube Canopy Roof System
The new steel and glass gridshell canopy was designed by Octatube and features three fluent tree-shaped columns branch out under the grid. When seen from above, these steel columns have a diameter of 9 meters. The canopy is raised from the roof allowing for natural ventilation and is covered by more 500 glass panels so daylight can flood the courtyard below.
