"Geiger’s roof design is a cable truss clad partially with tension membrane and rigid panels, covering the stadium’s 23,250 m² (250,000 ft²) area."

After e mailing David Campbell yesterday I went to the Giger site clicked on Syracuse roof and thought about those "rigid panels" we haven't seen and wondered how they are going to pre fit those panels made of ????. As you go across each section requiring panels - four of them - the curvature of the roof changes from one side to the next and top to bottom. Does that curvature require that the panels bend accordingly? How do they bend them and where on site? Looking at the rendering most of the panels look square until you get to a bottom corner and then some are triangular others a shape of their own. So, again how do they make a slight curve, belly in the panels that require them. I have questions: 1. What kind of material are the blue panels already laid out in one section. 2. What is inside the white Styrofoam boxes? 3. What do they mean by "rigid", is it a composite, aluminum, some other metal that will not rust and how thick is the panel?

Upon opening my inbox this A.M. I found no reply from David Campbell, Engineer of Record for this project. He has replied once to my initial email and was very courteous. Don't know why there have been no replies to two others sent to him. Maybe Sala got to him.
