Equipo 63 are known for their innovative approach to design and build projects of all types, and are always keen to incorporate cutting edge technology in the process.
They have worked with Milos and used their products on many previous projects. On this occasion, the Equipo 63 team designed the stand, which included a 12 x 12sq.m 'crown' flown above, holding a 10m diameter circular truss 'inside', which was used to hang a series of projection screens making a 360 degree internal panorama.
Equipo 63 then approached Milos with their concept, and asked them to come up with a structural solution and all the required logistics to make it work in situ.
Milos developed some special connecting brackets to enable the lower of the two circular trusses to be attached to the bottom of the rectangular box on a series of arms. The top circle was attached onto the box structure's top trussing runs, and the whole square trussing construction was braced by additional runs of M290V across its 4 spans. The two circular trusses were made without cross bracing allowing the screens to be easily attached.
