A unique project called "Oxigeno" is currently under construction in San Francisco de Heredia, San José, Costa Rica. The recreational and commercial space, which measures almost 1,345,489 ft², provides visitors with a relaxing shopping atmosphere in harmony with nature. For this purpose, approximately 200 trees were planted on the site. The "Main Food Court" is covered with a 17,222 ft² ETFE cushion as a roof, currently the biggest in the world.

z3rch, a customer of Dlubal Software, used RFEM and RF-FORM-FINDING for the form-finding and calculation of the structure, including the cable-net structure and the membranes.
