Florante Submarino Restaurant, Valencia, Spain
Courageous architecture as a symbol for the beginning of a new millennium
Extraordinary roof construction realised with PERI UP
Valencia, known as the city of the arts and sciences, set a milestone for the cultural development of the whole region with this project.
Over an area of 350,000 m² there are courageous and futuristically striking Topic Parks that are to symbolise the beginning of the new millennium. In the “Parque Oceanografico” there is an underwater restaurant,designed by the Spanish architect Felix Candela, that appears to be swimming. A spectacular roof covers approximately 500 seating places.
The shape of this reinforced concrete shell is characterised by symmetrical, hyperbolic-shaped paraboloids. A roof area of 2,100 m² was to be formed with varying slab thicknesses from 80 to 800 mm.

PERI UP Rosett

PERI supplied a convincing formwork and falsework concept: the structure of the building, as a three-dimensional bridging space, could be perfectly described with 77 t of PERI UP Rosett material. The high loading capacity of the ledger connections required only the minimum number of diagonal braces and proved to be an advantage.
Following this, 3,600 m of GT 24 girders were placed in crosshead spindles that in turn supported the plywood decking. |
