Casa da Música
Porto, Portugal
Salle de concert de forme minimaliste, monolithique et polygonale
Période de construction : 2001-2005
Architecte: Rem Koolhaas and Ellen van Loon, OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture), Rotterdam
Le projet
Impressions sur le processus de projet
Construite à l'occasion de "Porto 2001 - Capitale européenne de la culture", la salle de concert est photographiée ici après l'achèvement des travaux de construction.
La souplesse d'adaptation du système de coffrage de voiles VARIO GT 24 a permis de répondre parfaitement aux exigences géométriques particulières.
Les tours MULTIPROP ont pu être facilement adaptées à la pente des murs. Des raccords spéciaux ont permis de réaliser des connexions rigides et précises entre le coffrage VARIO et l'étaiement MULTIPROP.
Le bâtiment architectural en béton ressemble à un cristal dont la forme se développe de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur, la salle de concert constituant le cœur de la structure. L'enveloppe de béton renferme un empilement de cubes de salle et s'étend autour de ceux-ci ainsi que des espaces intermédiaires comme une peau. (Photo : A. Minson, The Concrete Centre)
La formulation du béton, avec des caractéristiques telles que la couleur, la texture, la réflexion, la porosité et le comportement des fissures, a été spécialement créée pour la structure et testée à l'avance sur des échantillons de surface. (Photo : A. Minson, The Concrete Centre)
Le béton blanc a été utilisé exclusivement pour tous les composants du béton afin d'éviter tout mélange avec d'autres bétons. (Photo : A. Minson, The Concrete Centre)
