Structure
Metallic frame, constituted by:
- main structure of O 3.5 mts tubular pillars ( exterior and interior
corners of the pyramid) connected by horizontal structures at levels 8
and 15; the interior corners exist only above the level 8, thus avoiding
to interfere with the Congress and Auditoriums Center accommodation.
- secondary structure of the floors, with inclined pillars at a 10 x 10
mts module grid, and steel slabs. There are 15 main floors, 7 mts high,
with mezzanine floors where required 3.50 mts high.
- catenary-cables, to which the “sails” and the connecting
slabs with the main volume of the pyramid are suspended.
Concrete structure:
- West transversal concrete wall
- East diagonal concrete wall
(the walls design is integrated with elevators, security stairs and ducts)
- the “Vessel” ( Congress and Auditorium Center)
Curtain walls, anchored to a light frame and cables
“Sails” constituted by white marble panels
