Now how cool is that ??? Wish we could design and build neat stadiums like that here.
I love the idea! The engineering and architecture must of been extremely complex. Congratulations to them on pulling off such a marvel.
Fantastic!
Michael.

This is very interesting. I am actually working on a wooden sculpture that opens in a similar way. Thanks for posting this video. I like your website.
Gabe: Thanks. I’ve admired your woodworking since you joined 9rules, definitely looking forward to seeing the sculpture.
