Estructuras calculadas. El cálculo llevado a la vida real. Alucinante.

a última foto evidencia como os pilares sugerem o balanço natural das palmeiras, uma homenagem obvia à paisagem!

Using various angled supports for each floor just makes the structure look awkward and random and uncoordinated. Probably no structual reason for all the various shaped supports, just more wasted material and more cost. I assume the cables across the end of the spaces will withstand the impact of the occasional vehicle that runs into them, and the owner can have a lovely souvenier of their wonderful modern parking experience, a bunch of horizontal creases on the front of their car. Actually cars today have a lot of unbendy plastic at the front, which will more sort of crack and crumble. If people do park there, what will you see from the exterior? A lot of cars. Nice.

Awfull. Why some double height floors? Does the ramp accomodate double height vehicles? Are they planning on a lot of moving vans parking there? If not, these floors are a waste of space. Does everyone want to pay double to park in a structure that could have held twice as many customers, just because it's cool looking or something? If there is parking available in a logically designed structure a block away for half the price, where would you park? Why are these architects so enamored with trapezoidal shapes with the wide side on top anyway? Just because no one else likes them?
