• 66,500 m2 two-ply pneumatic foil cushion building shell made of fire-resistant ETFE • The ETFE structure has a high level of daylight transmission and an extremely low dead weight of less than 1.0 kg/m2 • Ventilators create a nominal internal pressure of 450 Pa (facade) and 300 Pa (roof) to stabilise the forms of the diamond-shaped cushions, which can measure up to 4.60 ≈ 17 metres. • Internal pressure can be adjusted to withstand varying wind conditions and snow loads. • LED lights mounted behind the foil cushions can evenly light up the membrane cushions in all the colours in the spectrum. The standard lighting is restricted to red, blue and white.
