GATE
The project showcases the construction of a main entrance gateway with a contemporary architectural and structural character, where the exposed steel structure forms the primary visual and structural element of the gateway.
The upper element consists of an extended steel bridge/canopy supported by side structures, incorporating inclined and truss-like members to distribute loads and enhance structural stability. This system allows for the creation of a wide, open span without the need for intermediate columns that could obstruct the entrance and circulation.
On the left side, a solid architectural element, constructed from concrete or finished with stone cladding, carries the identity of the project and serves as both a visual and structural anchor for the gateway. The contrast between the solid mass and the lightweight steel structure creates a balanced relationship between strength, transparency, and movement.
From an engineering perspective, the design integrates the structural system as an essential part of the architectural language, where the steel elements are not merely functional components but also contribute directly to the identity of the gateway and the overall arrival experience.
