The tower is constructed from twisted steel struts on a reinforced concrete base. The base incorporates the functional areas of the building, while a staircase and elevator take visitors to the two viewing platforms.
A special highlight are the two tube slides, one of which descends almost 40 m (131.2 ft) from the upper platform. Technical equipment is installed on the top third platform.
The basic frame structure of the counter-rotating steel columns consists of 16 right-turning columns opposed by 32 left-turning columns. This creates the optical impression of a broom. This interesting project by Dlubal customer ibr Tragwerk Barth+Rugenstein GmbH was calculated using RFEM.
