The sculptural shape of the free‐form canopy ‘Carioca Wave’ is inspired by the dynamic movement of the water at the impressive seaside of Barra di Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. The structure with a surface area of approximately 1,130 m² is composed of a triangular steel grid consisting of grade S355 welded steel RHP 200 × 80 mm profiles with constant web (6 mm) and variable flange thicknesses. A circular circumferential edge beam included gutter is closing the grid (see pp. 252–257). (© Nir Sivan)
