*Updated structural frame in place

The bracing works with the vertical circulation and holds the scaffold's floor plates. It also contains the back of house for the theater below. Notice how it expands as it gets above the stage area. The top-most thick waffle s the heaviest structural element. It forms the roof and holds/ suspends the bracing. Of course I'll still have to draw in how it touches the floor. However, since most of the site's edges are surrounded by neighboring buildings, it is assumed that it'll merge with their load bearing walls, and so it has to float for now. The solid part of the roof is the outdoor exhibition/ market that links to the museum below. There is an aesthetic problem with covering those escalators that takes one up to the roof. You can see it in the next post of options of covering it up.
