The whole fabric sheath of the tent was fabricated from computer-generated cutting patterns and attached to a central mast somewhat like an umbrella.

This was then essentially unfurled while supported by a large crane and the 'skirt' pulled out via other smaller steel masts.

The mezzanine level can be seen inside the tent reached via the spiral staircase.

The perimeter walls were also pre-fabricated in aluminium and glass to keep the interior space visually connected to the landscape.
