Cantilever News Update

Here's some quick updates on the cantilever design.
After further development of the form that I had previously posted on tuesday.
Here is what i have, before skewing away again.

Side Elevation: As of now, the Cantilever will be supported by a single bow truss running down the middle (in which you can see in the front Elevation)
Side Elevation Close up: This is how i potentially see the end of the cantilever. However, I hope the end of the platform can be extended out even further.
Front Elevation: Besides the Single Large Bow Truss, the platform will be further anchored and supported by vertical "rib supports" throughout the platform. They began off as a round circle/"O" shape. However, I tried experimenting with other forms, like the "U" shape, and alternating them to create a different experience for the Visitors on the platform.
I actually hope to develop a structure that uses mainly the "rib supports" instead of the bow truss.
Potential Perspective View from the Top (Still uncertain and developing)
Plan View: Here I'm experimenting with overhead sheltering devices in accordance to the vertical supports.
Above is a quick render, of the modeling in process.
