The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, located in Kansas City, MO, has a floor space of 286,000 ft². The architectural highlight is the glazed atrium, which connects the main entrance with the two event halls.
The glass facade and the glass skylight are supported entirely by the cable structure. This design was conceived as being like a cello's strings fanning over a bridge and fretboard.
The structural analysis of the atrium's steel‑glass structure was performed using RSTAB by Dlubal customer Novum Structures. In addition, Novum was responsible for engineering, fabricating, and constructing the project.
