It is structured round a central spire Reaching a height of 77 meters. The building is a two-curve superstructure with an assembly of wooden beams forming hexagonal modules and supported by a central metal tower and four conical pillars. With a surface area of m2, fully constructed in wood, the roofing is made ??up of hexagonal units resembling the cane-work pattern of a Chinese hat. This structure is covered with a waterproof membrane made ??from fiberglass and Teflon (PTFE or Poly-Tetra-Fluoro-Ethylene).
