Steel - Structural beauty.

2001.
This project was the final step on my graduation as a bachelor in Architecture.
During my studies at my graduation, i was always interested in go deeper in technical knowledge in a way to express my architectural conceptions.
My hometown is land of a great companies of steel and extration and production of iron ore. Under the supervision of the project department of my college and a co-orientation of the leader engineer of Nexem ( Nucleo em exelencia em estruturas metálicas e mistas) i developed this commercial multi-floored building.

3d rendering of the complex

The structural conception was composed of 4 main pillars located in the edge of the glass prism building. That´s provides a very flexible floor plan in a way to re-arrange to offices layouts.


Typical floor plan
The complex is the main tower with 12 floors and a garage park building. All the structures were concepted in steel beams,  mixed pillars composed with steel and concrete, pre-fab structured slabs.
The elevator walls is a re-forced concrete structure to helps to establish the whole set.

BWM Dealership in Florianópolis - Santa Catarina - Brazil - 2009

For this BMW Dealership the client used a former dealership bulding of another Brand as a base to renovation.
In this post, exactly, i will concentrate the explanation on this side building covered with a glass transparent roof that we developed as repair center for used Bmw Cars.
It´s a simple concept using a Base wall on decorative rocks and a metal structure that emerge from this base.
The metal structure was exposed in layers in a way that the user can read it till the final glass roof layer. This is a simple idea for reading all the elements that compose the unity.
Best.
