Piazza Garibaldi is the forecourt of the central railroad station in Naples as well as of the bus station, tram, and metro line 2. More than 50 million passengers travel through the railroad station every year.
Properties
Eight metal girders form a large pergola (984 x 66 ft) and are covered by various metal sheets and glass panels.
Three different assembly modules, measuring 164 x 92 ft, were designed to give the structure the appearance of a random arrangement.
Calculation
Because Naples is located in a seismic zone, an independent thorough calculation of each structure was performed.
