The Design

About Riverside 01 Proxecto De Fachada

A súa base é a representación do movemento das augas do río, cando se atopan coas augas do mar! Ritmo e lixeireza, seguindo o golpe do bo vento! O corpo da edificación recibe trescentos sesenta graos de tratamento diferenciado, é dicir, nas súas catro fachadas, segundo a colocación solar de cada unha, mediante lamas móbiles e fixas, vexetación e revestimentos axeitados. No Rooftop, as súas lousas verdes serven de conexión entre río, mar e ceo.

Production Technology
On its facade, the basement in hollow ACM retrofit, with organic volumetry, gives movement. The ACM has excellent leveling, good thermoacoustic resistance, easy maintenance, quick installation, lightness, allows curvature, impact resistance and rigidity, it is also present in mobile and fixed brises along the body of the building, whose main coating is slatted concrete. , providing high durability and thermal comfort - as it is a cold material, it helps to relieve heat. The suspended gardens on the slabs also contribute to alleviate the thermal impacts in the apartments.
Design Challenge
Its initial facade was classic, our office was commissioned to develop a modern and timeless facade, according to our time and space.
It was then that we decided to apply a differentiated retrofit to the basement, bringing modernity and lightness to the project, as well as brises and green slabs that spread along the facade.
Research
Through many studies, field trips to cities like Milan, Curitiba and São Paulo, looking for references in the great names of architecture, to start an intense creative process that would lead us to this result.
Inspiration
It is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the straight, hard, inflexible line created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve, the curve I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuous course of its rivers, in the waves of the sea, in the body of the favorite woman. The entire universe is made of curves, Einstein's curved universe.

Operation Flow
