Monument technical data
The monument’s shell extends over an 18 metre wide lateral and a 50 metre long longitudinal axis. It consists of a weight-optimised space framework such as those used for bridge construction. The strongest point of the shell is around 2.50 metres thick whilst it is only a few centimetres thick at the edges.
The monument’s shell is movable. Visitors can determine the degree and speed of the incline with their combined weight. The gentle movement of the shell is ensured by a combined suspension and damping system.
