Be glad of that. I do think is a smart idea. But atchitecture is too bad solved in the ground. Acces is also weird, the good thing is that worked perfect! with the 27th feb earthquake that we had.

I think there is some sort of recemblance, only with the masonic center, but the resolution has quite a huge distance.
It doesn´t matter that two buildings seem to be similar, it matters that they acomplish it´s proposal. And this one definitly does.

wow, these architects had a lot of people fooled into thinking this was some sort of original brutalism design piece….this is a blatant copy of two buildings in sydney about 6 blocks from each other….terrible cut and paste job….. go here and see for yourself………

Hi,

Well the building is one thing, but can we have details on the urban park in front. Now that does look interesting? Project? Designer?

Is this a monument to the ugliness?

The Cruz del Sur Building is a gorgeous, exposed concrete, inverted cone. Stunning design by Izquierdo Lehmann. http://icio.us/movmi1

I dont think so. The slab as you say has little to do with it apart for the horizontal forces, its not a cantilever.

I think the columns that run in the facade, carry the loads. At the base these inclinated columns in the facade suddenly make an even more powerfull inclination towards the inside. The fact that this region where this even more powerfull inclination happens is not habitable has no importance structurally. Its the same principle.

I think its very subtle how the columns and slabs form larger openings on the floors above. It gives the structure this unusual appearance, without being very evident.

่it’s just a cantilevered slab,
isn’t it?

I hope you know the Brutalism, the structure is the design!!!
So what could be define different in this project?
the sheafs of Pillars are the first character of the layout!!!
could you say to me where is the innovation?

I’m not very sure with my english and basically i don’t know the real condition of Chilean Architecture…It’s possible that they have opened a new way to do architecture…but if you talk about the building’s shape you could confirm that the association with Torre Velasca is not so wrong….

The shape’s Pillar isn’t edentical but it is in the sostance…sorry, but i think that the structure project isn’t so far from BBPR’s Design…the idea to put outside the elements is in the end the same…

This building is pretty boring really, apart from its play on perspective: http://bit.ly/8Jsocf
