The new research building of the Santa Creu i Sant Pau Hospital has been built inside the hospital compound, located in the city of Barcelona. The new building is linked to those already in existence by a walkway at second floor level, which will facilitate the flow of people between the premises. A large metal structure of bars in a spiral tube shape that connects the two buildings and is covered by a perforated membrane. The perforated fabric is see-through both from the inside and from the outside. The walkway DNA with the double helix spiral is transmitted in an exceptional way with the single-piece continuous membrane.

TECHNICAL BASE
The walkway is approximately 14.5 m long. The outer diameter of the structure is 3.5 m. The membrane, making a single piece, is formed of rhombus-shaped parts. Some of them have required pattern construction to fit the structure's geometry perfectly.
