EXTREMADURA REGIONAL COUNCIL BUILDINGS IN MERIDA

Project details

Technical Data

 

Description

This administrative complex in Merida houses the headquarters of the Regional Council of Extremadura as well as a large number of council departments. The archaeological remains uncovered during the construction of the building demanded a specific solution.

This solution consists in leaving these ruins untouched in the basement of the building. The structurally conventional building blocks bear entirely on an assembly of large girders composed of precast, prestressed concrete beams with in-situ top slabs connected to them,so to create a very extensive lower floor exhibition area.
