Glass Roof for a Bank in Lodi, Italy

The head office of a regional bank in Lodi, northern Italy, is located in a complex of many buildings. The complex features a long building, 250 m in length, and several cylindrical towers. Between the long building and the auditorium, which is surrounded by another three towers, is a space that is open to the public. This space acts as a passageway between the railway station and the historical centre of Lodi, and is covered by a glass roof. This structure belongs to today's new generation of glass structures. The cable-structure design concept is well known in the field of cable-stayed bridges, where they are used to support the decking.
