PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project aims to protect the walkway and upper terrace at the Tres Aguas shopping centre in Alcorcón, Madrid. The objective is to protect the upper terrace from solar radiation by means of polygonal canopy-type structures, with a PVC membrane on the upper part, creating protection from the elements and the sun's rays. The canopy is made up of 10 panels that share the posts and corbels, located next to each other, along the entire upper terrace.
The architectural studio in charge of this work was Chapman Taylor, and the person responsible for the lighting project was Alvaro Coello from Portugal, from RDT Studio.
TECHNICAL BASE
The metal structure is built with HEB profiles reinforced with welded plates, creating a rectangular tube where the work is carried out. The selected canvas is a beige Soltis 381, a micro-perforated membrane, which is tensioned around the perimeter of all the panels by means of a double keder aluminium profile fixed to the metal structure. To prevent the canvas from suffering under wind load, it is fixed in the middle of each panel by means of a bolted plate, splitting the distance subject to wind suction and fixing the canvas to the structure.
