The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City impresses with its architectural highlight, a glass atrium that connects the main entrance with the event halls. The glass facade, inspired by the strings of a cello, is held in place by cables. Novum Structures was responsible for the design, manufacturing, and assembly of the steel-glass structure, with the structural analysis being carried out using RSTAB.
