Please describe the project specifications

For this project we proposed replacing a roof made of fiberglass sheets that had endured 30 years of use and was riddled with leaks with one consisting
of an architectural membrane.
The assembly was carried out in three months during which the building remained in operation. This required considerable coordination so as not to affect the events held inside.


What is unique or complex about the project?

We managed to reduce the weight of the structure by eliminating many of the support elements. The result was a very bright and well-lit space with very pleasant thermal comfort inside the enclosure.
