This cladding was conceived after the presentation we did to the promoter and the architects of the main project, about the architectural concrete possibilities, white cement based.
As a consequence of that previous work, detail project was born quite optimal allready, taking cost, quality and execution schedule, into account as well.
Design included a moulded strip to fix external air cond. devices on it. White color was to be that of cement and selected agreggates, and the exposed surface of the pannels slightly textured by acid.
To make the most of the site own elevation means, pannels weight was limited to around 2 tones each.
A nicer looking modulation of precast façades benefit from L-shaped pannels to solve the corners cladding. So, "L" elements were precasted to match carefully those areas.
All the cladding fixings to the structure are bolted, providing the needed security and precision, the average work progress was of 8 or 9 pannels / journey (8h).
In this image, next to the silo, a previous prototype module can be seen, complete with window frames and glasses.
When it comes to an industrialized constructive solution, we insist allways in the importance of making a prototype or mock-up, thus helping better all the parties agree on the details for the whole future series.
Architectonic Concrete S.L. helped to agglomerate the whole cladding project and its execution, throughout the main concerned stakeholders of it.
