PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Mondragon Council has promoted the remodelling of the Plaza Itxaropena, the final objective of which has been to install a whole new roof over the sports area, protecting it from inclement weather.
To this end, a tensile PVC canvas, painted on the inside, and an ETFE enclosure over the north façade have been installed in order to protect the precinct from the wind and rain coming in sideways.
TECHNICAL BASE
The tensioned PVC canvas is fixed to the perimeter and to the portal frames, adapting to the particular shape of the structure. Moreover, thanks to the anchoring system used, rainwater is collected by the structure just as the architect intended.
The great novelty of this tensioned canvas is the graphic design on its inner face, with large polka dots approximately 2 m in diameter in various colours. This demonstrates the versatility and possibilities offered by this type of membrane.
The transparent single-layer ETFE enclosure with stainless steel cables protects the park from wind and sideways rain, without blocking light from entering the park and adapting perfectly to the curved shape of the structure.
