Suspended steel bands of 3x40 cm (1.2x16 inch) supportprefab wood panels, filled with gravel to resist wind uplift.
In width direction the roof is slightly convex for drainage;
which also provides an elegant interior spatial form.
Curtain wall mullions are pre-stressed between roof andfooting to prevent buckling under roof deflection.
Unequal support height is a structural disadvantage since
horizontal reactions of adjacent bays dont balance; but it
provides natural lighting and ventilation for sustainability

This recycling center is a wood structure of 170 m (560 ft)
diameter of 67 m (220 ft) height concrete mast.The roof consists of 48 radial laminated wood ribs that
carry uniform roof load in tension but asymmetrical loads
may cause bending in the semi-rigid tension bands.
The mast cantilevers from a central foundation, designedto resist asymmetrical erection loads and lateral wind load.
The peripheral pylons are triangular concrete walls.
