It is worth noting that 85 m is the length of a cantilever part of the roof. Its total length 120 m, width 60 m, which means that the roof is comparable in size to a football field. The head office of Coop Himmelb(l)au's wolf Prix, making the roof the most important plastic element of the project, continued the ideas of the great modernists.
