Bilbao - 2011
The Iberdrola Tower, located in the center of Bilbao, rise 165 meters in height in the form of an elongated triangle. It has an enormous vestibule surrounded on all sides by a glass pavilion developed by Bellapart. The structural support of the lobby facade is composed of vertical glass wings 15m tall and 0.5 meters deep, spaced at a distance of 1 meter along the wall of the facade. The top part is a 5 meter-long cantilever on top of a line of roof.
These elements are being designed and developed in collaboration with the architect, the exploration of structural solutions that combine the use of two types of materials: glass and steel.
