Cafetería Colegio Los Nogales Story by Taller de Arquitectura de Bogotá Cafetería Colegio Los Nogales

Cafetería Colegio Los Nogales

Taller de Arquitectura de Bogotá as Architects

Under the idea of making an expressive and seismicallyefficient structure, the pavilion is designed with a single type V column which gradually rotates and reverses, generating anapparently random sequence. As a result, the building simulates movement creating static movement architecture.As well, the resulting shape is very efficient to resist seismic forces.

The whole set of columns is content between two analogous planes that are dilated from the ground, pretending to float over the grass.

The basic program that houses the "auditeria" is divided into two independent and autonomous areas, the kitchen and the great room, allowing using itas either an auditorium or a cafeteria, creating a multipurpose large format space for the school.

Self supporting glass facade

Rafael Pérez Arquitectura EU as Glass facade

The glass facades for the cafeteria of the Colegio Los Nogales had to solve the transparency that the architectural designer required without sacrificing the safety of the students because it is a completely transparent glass enclosure. This is achieved by tempered laminated glass panels and minimal accessories in anodized aluminum.

 

Material Used :

Laminated glass 6.5, aluminium accesories
