Monoarc's snapshot: "Tent-like Roof"
It looks massive and imposing!
A tent-like roof takes advantage of the natural light and as a result, it saves cost on electricity. This is the roof of a shopping mall and I'm really impressed that the designer took things to a different level.
Most of the shopping malls are enclosed and don't have any access to natural light & ventilation. I could only assume that this creative design is saving a lot on the electricity cost since a big part of the lighting & ventilation requirement is being provided by nature for free.
