Functionality Mistakes Throughout History That Were Way Too Expensive to Fix

In 2008 and 2011, Bern’s Westside Shopping Centre, a distinctive Studio Libeskind design covering 1.5 million square feet, experienced two roof collapses. The 2011 incident caused more damage than the 2008 collapse, raising concerns over safety.

The second roof collapse at Westside endangered lives, injuring three and almost claiming a child. Occurring above the indoor pool, roof debris plummeted over thirty feet onto unsuspecting swimmers, following the first incident over a fast-food outlet.
