Peter Rice developed the structural
concept for the facades, with a system
that hinged on six elegantly tapered cast
steel rocker beams known as
gerberettes.

The components and connections are of a scale rarely
seen in the construction industry- massive steel
elements were fabricated in off- site foundries and
delivered by truck to the site during the night.

The superstructure consists of thirteen bays, six
floors high, constructed of 16,000 tons of cast
and prefabricated steel with reinforced concrete
floor sections. The two main structural support
planes comprise a series of 800mm (31.5 inch)
diameter spun steel hollow columns, each of
which supports six gerberettes, or brackets.
One end of each gerberette is connected to an
outer tension column, while the other supports
a steel lattice beam. The stability of the
building is achieved through diagonal bracing in
the long facades and by stabilised end frames.

The building was envisaged as
a cross between 'an
information-oriented
computerised Times Square
and the British Museum' , a
democratic place for all
people, all ages and all creeds,
simultaneously instant and
solemn, and the centrepiece of
a regenerated quarter of the
city.
The decision to place structure
and services on the exterior
was driven primarily by the
need for internal flexibility, the
scheme provided huge
expanses of uninterrupted
space on open floors nearly 50
metres deep.

External services give scale and detail to the
facades, while the celebration of movement and
access is provided by lifts and escalators which,
like the services, are placed outside the building
envelope.
