Autor: Teixeira Caldas, João
Resumen: [EN] The article presents the project for a multifamily housing
- Oito Casas – that presents a concrete bearing structure and also
a set of pre-fabricated concrete brise soleil in the upper level of
the main facade. The specificity of the project led us first to the
modification of the allotment plan. A procedure that was then
followed by the development of a spatial configuration allowed by
a concrete structure and, finally, the introduction of the exposed
concrete in the form of concrete brise soleils that provide a particular
and changeable identity to the architectural set throughout the day,
in a distinctive game of shadows.
