The model shows the detailed design of a spectacular facade structure that was erected in time for the 2014 State Garden Show in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The multi-purpose building is used as a presentation area as well as for events related to gold, silver, and design. The design by isin Architekten was awarded in a competition, while the engineering office Klöckner GmbH carried out the calculation of the supporting structure with RSTAB and the facade cassettes using RFEM. Wind tunnel tests carried out by I.F.I. GmbH provided important data for the wind loads to be applied. The 3D model (© Klöckner GmbH) underlines the precise engineering of the project.
