This unique seven-member joint forms a diamond-shaped facade node inspired by the Atomium — a true geometric and constructability challenge.
The facade joint is formed by seven members and four stiffening members, connected by multiple fin plates with bolts. The welded stiffeners ensure the fin plate stiffness.
The model was created in the IDEA StatiCa Connection app.
