@Tomorrowland

Tomorrowland or the most wonderful and insane dance festival in the world opened its doors for the 8th time. And ... not just the doors opened!

The Book of Wisdom

Eye catcher of the festival this year was the 130m wide, 23m high and 96T heavy main stage built by Gigant Stage Builders with 2 impressive video screens built in the middle opening and closing like a giant book. Each screen had a height of 10m and a width of 7m.

WI designed a structure to move each page separately in such a way that the book could open at any page selected. To hold the video, 2 frames were built with a strong hinge in between. Because of huge reaction forces on the scaffolding (the book + structure= 21,5T) a secondary structure was needed to hold the pages. 

To deal with these forces a solid tower structure was constructed inside the scaffolding. The entire structure was calculated to cope with winds up to 74km/h when the book was moving.

When the book was completely opened, the structure was calculated to deal with winds up to 105km/h. In this way maximum safety was guaranteed in all circumstances. Around the WI steel structure a wonderful decoration was built. The Book Of Wisdom amazed everybody and enjoyed broad international press and social media exposure.

The Globe

Not the main stage this year but one of the big eye catchers of the festival: a 5m turning globe on top of the information kiosk with in the middle the famous TL logo turning in the other direction (Made by Tune)
