The new research building at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau has been constructed within the hospital complex. The connection via a walkway on the second floor facilitates the flow of people between facilities.
It consists on a large metal structure of bars in a spiral tube shape that connects the two buildings and is covered by a perforated membrane.
The perforated fabric is see-through both from the inside and from the outside.
The walkway DNA with the double helix spiral is transmitted in an exceptional way with the single-piece continuous membrane.
TECHNICAL BASE
The walkway is approximately 14.5 m long. The outer diameter of the structure is 3.5 m. The membrane, making a single piece, is formed of rhombus-shaped parts. Some of them have required pattern construction to fit the structure's geometry perfectly.
