Yes.  The earlier drawings of the new roof showed many what looked like small mini domes made of PTFE material.  It wasn’t clear how they were getting that shape and I was a little confused about it.

On this drawing, it looks like the PTFE material is just going to be stretched over the steel arcs (I assume they are steel) to achieve the mini dome shapes.

I personally liked the smooth lines of the old roof and am not a big fan of the arcs.  I assume they were done to introduce more slope, more runoff, and give snow less of an opportunity to accumulate on the roof during heavy storms.  I know snow accumulation was a regular problem with the old roof.  Since the new roof is not air supported, this won’t be as crucial an issue but I suspect snow replaces a concern for a roof of this size located in his climate.  The blurb accompanying the drawing seems to indicate this.

Hoping [USER=5058]NJCuse97[/USER] or someone inside the project can provide more insight here.
