BovidCatwalk

Incide fully designed a catwalk that was 14 metres high and 77.6 metres long for horizontal communication between the buildings of the "BOVID" business centre.
The shape of the facility resembles a transparent cylinder, composed of several sections. The unusual shape of the structure is formed by octagons which are compiled with bearing rings, rotated relative to each other to 22.5º. The glass modules have a triangular shape. Each 4.18 m long section accounts for 16 equal triangles, and there are 273 triangles for the whole catwalk. This is the first and so far the only facility in Chelyabinsk made from completely translucent Guardian glass with a Schuco aluminium profile.
