The architectural competition was won by the design by Ingo Schrader, Berlin, in cooperation with the structural engineers Bollinger + Grohmann. The structure consists of circular roofs with a diameter of about 25 m, which rest on pyramid-shaped columns. The roofing at the North Gate was completed in August 2013. The steel stress analysis of the north roof was carried out in RSTAB. Further information can be found here: Our Customer | Bollinger+Grohmann
