The structure of the building consists of reinforced concrete columns. Positioned in such a way as to ensure the stability of the building and a steel frame:
CONCRETE: Concrete is a characteristic material of the modern era. The reinforced cement concrete is a material made of aggregate (sand, gravel) and poured into forms around in forms around steel reinforcement. It has been used for foundations, infill walls and columns.
STEEL: Steel is a versatile material that is used at different stages of construction. of a construction. Strong, durable, 100% recyclable, it greatly simplifies the simplifies the implementation and makes it possible to meet the most stringent thermal, phonic Para seismic requirements. Used here for the structure of the framework and the structural elements of columns and beams. Used for the elements of (doors and windows).
GLASS: It offers possibilities for the construction of light buildings, open and bright. The great concept is to move away from massive, blind walls The great concept is to move away from massive, blind walls to a transparent, translucent opening to the outside.
