From the 7th and last day of our Bosnia Holiday .
Finally arrived at Zagreb Airport and the first thing I noticed was the construction of the roof of the building which looked amazingly complicated and was worth taking pictures of.
On Google I found this information about the structure.
The new terminal of Zagreb Airport is part of a development area at the southern edge of the Croatian capital.
The two-part edifice is spanned by a shared steel roof built as a Mero construction. The architects created the undulating shape of the roof as a reminder of the surrounding mountains. The twice-curved framework structure measures 152.3 x 151.2 metres in its main area and consists of 26,000 steel rods and 6,100 nodes. Like a breaking wave, it ends at the gates in an inward curl. Along with the clear supporting structure, large-format glazing on the lateral façades creates a high spatial transparency.
Thanks a lot for all your views, comments and for the fav’s on yeterday’s picture.
Fabulous capture of this amazing construction, such interesting shapes and lines. Great that you googled the info as it is a pretty unusual construction.
