Other principles of physics are necessary to develop the lighting design, optimize the acoustics, and integrate the new structure with existing infrastructure, historic buildings, and railway platforms. Many principles of physics are required to design and construct such an open semicircular roof with a radius of 74 meters and containing over 2 000 triangular panels. The sweeping shell-like roof is claimed by the architect to be the largest single-span station structure in Europe. The wall of the older structure (completed in 1852) is visible at the left.
