Although the structure required is huge, the canopy receives the most attention, partly to its subtle asymmetry. As a visual terminus to a road perpendicular to the structure (to the left in the image at left), the canopy curves to its low point near the ground. This subtle maneuver allows the top of the canopy to have the most presence from the road, especially as the sun illuminates the white surface.
