| Fine Arts Museum in Badajoz (Spain) from Estudio Hago nominated for Mies van der Rohe 2015 Award  The expansion of the Museum of Fine Arts of Badajoz (MUBA) carried out by the architects Antonio Alvarez-Cienfuegos and Emilio Delgado Martos (www.estudiohago.com) has been nominated for the prestigious European Prize Mies van der Rohe 2015.The construction of two new buildings, related by their materials: the spectacular perforated prestressed concrete, whose scale and drawing seem to print a message on the skin of the building, and the glass, source of natural light that floods into the spaces. With a clear will of luminosity, together with the need to ensure the reliability and durability for their horizontal applications, the architects have chosen two models of non-slip floor glass: LUNARIS-T and LUNARIS-X, from the CriSamar STEP line of Sevasa. A technical glass in the range of high performance. There are two types of CriSamar STEP applications: - In the meetings between floors and the spectacular perforated panel, a perimeter of light through glass stripes of laminated 3-ply (10 + 10 + 6 mm) and between 60 and 150 cm width which contrasts with the bright white floors, giving upper and lower galleries view. The walkways of glass combine transparency (Lunaris-T) with the translucency (Lunaris-X) at the entrance to each gallery area. - The different heights are connected by a staircase with laminated non-slip glass treads of LUNARIS-X with the same composition as above and flooded with natural light thanks to a higher circular skylights. write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Construction News :: home page |
