STRUCTURE INTEGRATION STRATEGY The building uses a combination of 80 cm diameter cylindrical concrete columns and 40x50 cm beams with a radial axis. Columns in the main building support the wide-span space truss steel roof structure which is the main canopy of the food hub. In the hill area, tree column structure is used to support the ETFE canopy that covers the hill. The back of the house and greenhouse area is also supported by arced roof to follow the roof character of the main building. It uses a planar truss because it is more cost-efficient for a service area. The trusses are supported by 40x40 cm concrete columns. The sky bridge is supported by 80 cm diameter v-shaped columns to give some aesthetic touch to the structure visual.
