PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Bilbao is a pioneering city in iconic architecture. The new stadium of San Mamés can be added to these buildings that stand out due to their singular beauty. Its façade is composed of more than 2,700 slats, which all create an enclosure that changes its visual appearance as you walk around its perimeter. Onlyone single effect is achieved with a single type of geometry and highly developed engineering.
TECHNICAL BASE
For the renovation of the surroundings of Kultur Etxea in Romo (Getxo), Vizcaya, IASO has manufactured and installed a structure with hyperbolic paraboloid geometry to create a shaded area in the part of said square that has seating.
The structure, in plan view, has dimensions of 15 m length x 5 m width, covering a surface area from above of 75 m². Its height is 3.15 m at the lowest point and 4.45 m at the highest. Moreover, the pillars protrude at the top, reaching a height of 5.53 m. The structure is fixed to the foundations by means of two central pillars. The canvas is a single piece, of 1002 fabric of the Ferrari make. It is fixed at each end by canvas presses, and by a perimeter cable joined to the canvas by bags so that it can be tensioned.
TECHNICAL BASE
System: Monolayer with ETFE sheet of 250 microns, white colour
From its different perspectives, we can observe a building with dynamism, which is achieved through the slats of 5.40 m by 1.20 m, with double curvature geometry. The construction of the new San Mamés stadium was planned in two phases. The facade has over 2,700 slats that are all identical and distributed in five levels. Each piece consists of a metal frame built with a circular cross-section profile. IASO has developed a hidden fastening system, which is integrated inside the profile. The white sheet is perfectly tensioned. The result is a unique facade; permeable to vision that allows natural ventilation of the building.
