The large roof consists of a mast in the center, a folded lattice roof, and a roof support on the outer periphery, making it a delicate and light structure.
The mast consists of a core, multiple struts, and cables to take advantage of the roof form and not impair its function and bear only vertical force. The folded roof is constructed by arranging a space truss radially between the outer ring and the inner ring, the outer ring is supported by the roof support, and the inner ring is supported by the mast. Each roof support consists of three V-shaped pillars so that it can bear the horizontal force.
