Structure
The main construction of the building is independent from the structure of the facade. The main construction is inspired by the project Nesselande Cockpit from ONL. Here the main structure are columns that wear the floor. The roof structure is independent of the main structure.
The structure of the facade of the building is inspired by the trick with the orange. The pattern that appears when you pull the parts of the orange apart is the inspiration of the construction of the facade.
