No insult intended to the creater of this.

Looks like a joint where a lot of beams will tie in.

We have a few in our building, but they are only about 1/3 as complicated as that one looks. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

It is a "node" for a space frame structure.

I thought simplicity was a good thing. Something like this gives us engineers a bad name.

I assume that this got erected without incident.
