Industrial Strength

From the Magazine:
Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos designed these silo forms for a museum in Galicia.

Cylinders were constructed from light-gauge steel for Spain’s Museo Interactivo de la Historia de Lugo.

The steel cylinders joined cast-concrete versions. Photography: Fernando Alda Fotografia.

Concrete cylinders were equipped to function either as emergency exits or as elevator shafts. Photography: Fernando Alda Fotografia.

Three of the cylinders clustered together. Photography: Fernando Alda Fotografia.

A steel-framed partial cylinder emerged from the larger concrete structure. Photography: Fernando Alda Fotografia.

Steel joists and decking were installed to support the park surface above. Photography: Fernando Alda Fotografia.

A continuous ramp of Cor-Ten steel would bring visitors down to the entry courtyard. Photography: Fernando Alda Fotografia.

Cor-Ten steel, either solid or mesh, wraps the cylinders. Photography: Fernando Alda Fotografia.

Interior materials include butt-joined safety glass, painted plasterboard, and unfinished cast concrete as well as Cor-Ten panels. Photography: Fernando Alda Fotografia.

To make the exterior mesh, coil-stock steel is scored and stretched. Photography: Fernando Alda Fotografia.

This space is intended for presentation boards, vitrines, and interactive modules. Photography: Fernando Alda Fotografia.
