History
[edit]Architecture
[edit]TAX Arquitectura designed the Bansí Tower, with Alberto Kalach describing it as a symbol of strength and clarity, following timeless architectural principles of beauty, strength, and usefulness. The tower is defined by two remarkable spaces: the expansive lower garden and the rooftop garden, offering stunning panoramic views of the city. Just like the building interacts with its surroundings, it also integrates with them in a harmonious coexistence of mutual benefit and respect for the environment.[3]
The rooftop garden of the building is shelled by the exterior concrete pillars which are part of the building's structure itself. It displayes manufacturing and installations of false floor, deck and assembly of roof rails for glass maintenance baskets.[4]
The building's central position in the square enables the creation of "filter" spaces arranged in a series of rings. The complex is given a welcoming and urban character by a layer of perimeter vegetation and a water feature on the east side.[5] A second circular structure, resembling a plaza, serves as a transitional area between the city and the building, getting ready for construction.[6] Ultimately, the third ring features a permeable front that unveils a secluded and shaded area with plants and art pieces, connecting to the lobby, the bank branch, and entrances to the tower.[7]
The structure of the building's skeleton aligns with its finished shape thanks to its perimeter design. The arrangement of columns on the front and the flat pieces create a structure resembling a big vierendel beam, as combining the structural walls with the tensioned slabs enables wide areas and provides stability to the entire structure. This system allows the less burdened areas of the facade to work together in solidarity and assist in supporting the more strained sections of the grid, creating a form of structural identity.[8]
