Arturo Franco. Matadero Units 8-9 (Structural Consolidation Works). Madrid. Spain
Project published in a+t 39-40 Reclaim Remediate Reuse Recycle
September 08, 2014
Reclaiming this unit which was part of the Matadero Complex for forthcoming cultural uses involved strengthening the existing reinforced concrete structure which was unable to support the new uses. The conventional way to carry out this type of structural reinforcement involves bracing the columns with another metal structural framework. Here it was decided to separate the new steel frame by 20 cm from the original such that the structural reinforcement was to become a part of the project. This way the two structural frameworks function independently and only work together when necessary at specific points.
