The
external support for the angled glass wall consists of stainless
steel masts, rods and hardware by TriPyramid.
TriPyramid used computer solid modeling for studies which led in the end to a design where rod terminals are almost invisibly incorporated in the masts. TriPyramid was a consultant during the design phase, and then manufactured the primary glass wall system. |
