The entrance structure to the dinosaur park Kleinwelka near Bautzen, Germany has a total height of 22 m and resembles mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division and the origin of life. The bionic structure consists of 1,389 steel tube members assembled together at 269 joints.
A total of 84 tons of steel were used for the project. The translucent roof with an overall surface area around 2,300 m² consists of 463 ETFE foil cushions.
Stahlbau Hahner GmbH in Petersberg and rimpf Architektur in Hamburg received an award for the structure at "Deutscher Verzinkerpreis 2017" (3rd place Architecture). The engineers of zapf & co. from Strausberg were responsible for the structural analysis of the steel structure as well as the foil cushions. The spatial structure was analyzed in RSTAB and the cushions in Easy.
