Built with more than 1,200 tonnes of steel, it is today the only infrastructure of its kind in the world.

The cracks are stitched with reinforcement to keep the openings practically unnoticeable.

‘We developed new membrane materials that can simultaneously detect and remove trace-level pollutants’.

Ozone is a highly oxidising gas and therefore useful for disinfecting, purifying and eliminating micro-organisms.

A ‘feat of early engineering’, the construction of which required ‘advanced knowledge’.

Controlling temperature and humidity in spaces where computer systems are housed.

When the spans are set high, the walls are connected at the top and bottom by means of such beams.

A structural ‘fuse’ model that has the potential to reduce personal and material damage in the event of a disaster.

For engineering to make a proper structural design, it must first foresee the construction process of the building.

Expansion joints prevent cracks in the pool, extend its service life and prevent water leaks.
