Careful resolution of the rotation mechanism was vital to ensure the space works in model representation and at a real 1:1 scale. The load created by the shelter around the single axis will create shearing forces between the two shade elements.
These shearing forces will require counteracting to eliminate the chance of the structure failing after construction. The addition of a railing beneath the lower shades will create neutralising forces to allow it to stand.
