the axis are parallel to each other forming an elliptical shape for the structure

Axis form elliptical shape

The structure forms an x-shapeskeletal appearance, with arched white walls that resemble ribs.

columns play the role of transferring gravity load of the to the groundthe x shape provides stronger strength to the columns as it spreads the load and the are appopriate

Yes

seismic loading should be considered in this area cause it is found in an earthquake zone. is is solved in a way that if lateral force acts against the structure it is transferred from the cantilevered roof to the ground.

6 Should there be any expansion joint?

Yes normally there should be an expansion joint due to -elliptical structure -the long length of the structure
