The Structure's Architecture

Abstract eng:
The present research work studies the architectural-structural approach applied to a high-mountain hotel project, the design of which enables it to resist not only seism but also other natural threats such as wind, snow and avalanches. The Building was situated at Puente del Inca (2750 m above sea level). Such natural conditions modeled the architectural-structural and bioclimatic design. The appropriate architectural answers were given so as to solve such complex dimension. In order to carry out this proposal, a survey on high buildings located at major seismic zones in the world, focusing on those located in Mendoza, was conducted. Regarding the scope and complexity of current architecture, architects must incorporate the various scientific and technological advances and synthesize them in a creative, imaginative and pure manner through economics, sociology, aesthetics, engineering, planning and design. As a result, a solution complying with state-of the-art safety standards and regulations in force was achieved. Thus, structures are conceived not only as mainstay of architecture but also as one of many creative alternatives architects must know and take advantage of.
