PODIUM RECEPTION OFFICE LEVEL a large effective length for the uplift load case , due to knee bracing not being able to pierce the bulkheads of the skylights butting up snug to the truss either side . This resulted in a relatively large PFC inner chord and large I-section for a bottom chord . The purlins ( bracing for the top chord ) of the roof had to step , due to the skylight glass line and sheeting line being on different levels . Additionally , the purlins form part of the skylight substructure . The load path was fairly two dimensional and an RHS section was used . For the atrium glass transoms , large SHS were used due to the wind , and gravity load cases being very similar correlating the sections ’ similar radii of gyration in each direction , it was also aesthetically preferred .
Smart Lighting Installation Thanks to a unique collaboration between Paragon Architects , the building owners and digital display services company , Primary Colours , Rosebank Link now features a dramatic full-colour RGB video screen that has been custom-designed to be an integral part of the building ’ s fabric , and to contribute to the building ’ s striking appearance .
The installation features two distinct elements . The first of these is the LED screen , which is noteworthy for being one of the largest in South Africa . The second is the strip screen display that forms part of the building ’ s exterior lighting .
