A new building for "Rigshospitalet" in Copenhagen was to be made using pre-cast elements. The new building should have an appearance similar to the existing building, where the structures were cast on site.
The new building has 8 storeys. The front of the building has a major function in stabilising the building, but in the first 2 storeys the front of the building is moved back 0.8 metres. The vertical loads are carried by 4 columns, and the 2 central ones are so heavily loaded, that conventional joints would not be able to distribute the forces.
