The building achieves the largest span in the world and yet gives the appearance of simplicity and of perfect proportion, and does not overwhelm the observer. The optimisation of the steelwork design appears very efficient, with the construction methods of frame and doors, in particular developed by architect, engineer and constructor, most impressive and exciting.
