Velum Sky amphitheatre screen.
Custom lifting system for the Velum Sky screen, engineered with guides that remain invisible when raised while supporting the screen in full cantilever during deployment.

Project overview
DOMTEKNIKA engineered the complete mechanical system that raises, lowers and positions the giant screen in the Velum Sky amphitheatre in Geneva. The central challenge was to keep the guides invisible in the raised position while controlling a fully cantilevered screen as it descends, requiring precise management of guidance, stiffness, drive and integration into the building.
What we handled
- Custom lifting system for the Velum Sky amphitheatre screen in Geneva.
- Guides concealed in the raised position to preserve the architectural view.
- Guidance, stiffness and drive engineered for a fully cantilevered screen during descent.
