It had to be an architecture with <strong>versatile spaces<\/strong>, making the absolute most of its usable floor space due to the objective and primary purpose of its construction.<br \/>\nAs Mies van der Rohe expressed, acting as a good ambassador for the second Chicago School regarding the idea of honesty in architecture, he associated the need to show the interior purpose of the building on the exterior; defending that it was necessary to combine form and function. In this case, it would be the opposite, the form does not have a specific function associated within its interior.<br \/>\nThese spaces have developed further in our times due to the process and phenomenon of globalisation, according to other authors, such as Rem Koolhaas.<br \/>\nAt e20 Arquitectos we believe that, with a small interior transformation, <strong>Good architecture is always capable of accommodating any use<\/strong> why the spaces and the transitions between them work with fluency and harmony.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_column_377669569\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3500\" height=\"2993\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/02_PEQUENA-1.png\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"architectural versatility\" title=\"02_SMALL\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/02_PEQUENA-1.png 3500w, https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/02_PEQUENA-1-300x257.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/02_PEQUENA-1-1024x876.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/02_PEQUENA-1-768x657.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/02_PEQUENA-1-1536x1313.png 1536w, https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/02_PEQUENA-1-2048x1751.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3500px) 100vw, 3500px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"> .vc_column_377669569:not(.vc_parallax):not(.jarallax) { overflow: center!important;

In this way, a large, robust reinforced concrete volume is perceived, which rises above the ground floor to create the entrance and overhangs at the top where the second floor of the building is located.<br \/>\nThe idea being pursued is that of <strong>create a volume that remains suspended and floating above the ground floor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The floors of the building are completely independent yet connected via the enclosed core where the stairs and the lift are located, running from the basement floor up to the second floor. <strong>In this way, the building will be able to accommodate different uses<\/strong> on each floor or the circulation core can also be opened on the floors deemed necessary. The strategy is to achieve as much versatility as possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Emphasising the previous concept, it is decided to leave an open space on the plot with the intention of giving it a multi-purpose use through ephemeral architecture as a complement to the ground floor of the building depending on what is needed in each case. The intention is to create that freedom that we pursued throughout the design and development of the project.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"> .vc_row_2025366080:not(.vc_parallax) { overflow: center!important; position: relative; }<\/style><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row_854883267\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner vc_custom_1665751050133\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n<div class=\"sh-heading\" id=\"heading-Yt0NvgrSo6\">\r\n\t<div class=\"sh-element-margin\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sh-heading-content size-default text-center\">\r\n\t\t\t\tConstruction method\t\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n            <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                #heading-Yt0NvgrSo6 .sh-element-margin {margin: 0px 0px 30px 0px;}#heading-Yt0NvgrSo6 .sh-heading-content {}#heading-Yt0NvgrSo6 .sh-heading-content,#heading-Yt0NvgrSo6 .sh-heading-additional-text {}            <\/style>\r\n        \n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The general construction process of the building also acquires great importance in the project. It is about <strong>reduce execution times with prefabricated elements and therefore the budget<\/strong>, whilst achieving the desired aesthetic without adding any type of cladding, using only the structure and the facade enclosure.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Structure<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A is being considered <strong>mixed structure of rolled steel sections and reinforced concrete<\/strong>. First, the steel columns and floor beams of each storey are erected. Then, the beam grid is constructed using large hollow-core slabs that rest on the structural steel floor beams. When all the slabs have been erected, a compression topping is poured over them and the beams, which are fitted with connectors on the top flange of each one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In this way, we obtain several <strong>advantages<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If <strong>considerably decreases the execution time<\/strong> both with the metal structure and the hollow-core slabs. Almost all formwork and concrete curing is also avoided.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If <strong>reduce the cost<\/strong> as a consequence of the previous point and time is saved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0They are available <strong>large spans with hollow-core slabs<\/strong>, without the need for intermediate pillars throughout the interior of the building. This will give us great freedom both to leave the space open-plan and subsequently furnish it, and to compartmentalise it with partition walls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We got a <strong>industrial aesthetic also on the interior without any kind of cladding<\/strong>, solely with the exposed concrete finish of the facade panels and the metal pillars of the structure, which will also be left exposed.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_column_1681672277\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1744\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1_IA.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"versatility and architecture\" title=\"versatility and architecture\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1_IA.jpg 1744w, https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1_IA-255x300.jpg 255w, https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1_IA-872x1024.jpg 872w, https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1_IA-768x902.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dev.e20studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1_IA-1308x1536.jpg 1308w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1744px) 100vw, 1744px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"> .vc_column_1681672277:not(.vc_parallax):not(.jarallax) { overflow: center!important; position: relative; }<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"> .vc_row_854883267:not(.vc_parallax) { overflow: center!important; position: relative; }<\/style><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row_405706821\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner vc_custom_1665745026549\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1723474764793\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Facade<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The outer skin, as explained in previous sections, is designed using pre-faced sandwich panels composed of three main layers: an inner layer of exposed reinforced concrete, an intermediate layer of expanded polystyrene thermal insulation with a thickness varying from 8 to 14 cm, and an outer layer also made of exposed reinforced concrete. These panels are arranged in such a way that they <strong>they avoid thermal bridges in the glazing apertures and on the edge of the floor slabs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In addition, the sandwich panels used in this fa\u00e7ade stand out for their ability to <strong>effectively integrate design and functionality needs<\/strong>. Its pre-fabricated nature not only contributes to the reduction of construction times, but also allows for precise control over quality and the final finish. This modular technology facilitates greater energy efficiency, thanks to integrated thermal insulation, and provides a durable solution that is resistant to external environmental factors. The combination of reinforced concrete and glass in the vertical arrangement of the panels reinforces the visual robustness of the building while, at the same time, ensuring that the interior is adaptable and flexible for a variety of future uses.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"> .vc_row_405706821:not(.vc_parallax) { overflow: center!important; position: relative; }<\/style><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":3618,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","fw-portfolio-category":[3,33],"fw-portfolio-tag":[],"class_list":["post-2794","fw-portfolio","type-fw-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fw-portfolio-category-arquitectura","fw-portfolio-category-obra-nueva"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Massif: Un pulso a la gravedad<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dise\u00f1o y vanguardia en un reto arquitect\u00f3nico superado con creces.
