Aimed and efficient solutions

The main theme of the Bati Park is entertainment inside nature: a nature reproduced by the man and that, finding itself in an indoor space, sets the problem for the sky. The solution has been found in an amazing vaulted roofing in glass and steel.

The main structural elements are diagonal trusses, with a geometrically even stiffness. To optimize the building and assembling through mass-production, the trusses have been made by standard set width segments,

The result is a structure with intertwined arches, amazingly light, elegant and cheap.
