OpenAire builds world's largest retractable dome
OpenAire is currently building the world’s largest retractable aluminum dome for the Royal Marine Aquapark in Donetsk, Ukraine.
Scheduled to open in August 2011, the park is a joint venture between the City of Donetsk and private sector investors. Designed by WhiteWater West, the idea for the park was conceived when Donetsk was announced as one of four Ukrainian cities that will co-host Euro 2012.
The Royal Marine Aquapark will serve as a new attraction for residents and tourists for Euro 2012 and beyond. The dome features eight quadrants – four of these quadrants will roll over the remaining four fixed quadrants to open the roof. “At 26m (86ft)-high and 85m (278ft) in diameter, it’s the largest free-standing aluminum dome structure in the world,” says OpenAire president Mark Albertine. “The retractable design makes it the first park of its kind. There is simply nothing else like it.”
