Construction Period 10/2013 - 06/2014 The aviary has an inverted truncated cone shape. The base of the aviary walls are the shape of an ellipse with dimensions of 32 x 22 and the top part of the walls are a circle with a diameter of 30 m. The ellipse and the circle are mutually eccentric, so the columns are oblique in different directions. The height of the aviary over sloping ground is above at the highest and lowest point 15.5 m and 11 m. The steel structure is partly based on the pads in the bedrock and partly on the downstream monolithic structures of the exposure prospects. The aviary is designed as a welded steel construction, consisting of a compressed upper ring to which the steel cable grid is anchored in the shape of the orthogonal network of 2.0 x 2.0 m. The cables are connected at the crossing point by junctions which partly limit the mutual contact thus any disruption of the corrosion protection and further interconnect each other which allows the transfer of forces between adjacent cables. The ring is supported by 16 tube columns, which are pinned to the ground and braced by diagonal cables in the plane of the wall of the aviary. Eagle Aviary - Brno, Czech Republic B2K design s.r.o.
