The picture shows the fully assembled steel roof support structure of the football stadium in Gdan´sk. The stadium has a characteristic silhouette – its shape and the colours of the façade resemble a cut block of amber. The steel roof structure has a quasi‐elliptical form, with a maximum diameter of 220 m and minimum diameter of 187 m. It is 38 m high and the roof girders extend 48 m over the grandstand below. The roof structure weights 7150 t and was assembled in 226 days (see pp. 54–60)
