MECA preliminary project

Incide Engineering developed the preliminary project for the roofing and cladding of the Meca cultural center in Bordeaux.
The roof was designed as a steel reticular body resting on the two concrete bases of the building. The reticule assembly phases were planned with the use of temporary beams supporting the secondary beams in mind, considering the means, timing and spaces available for manoeuvers.
The ventilated facade was designed using steel substructures to support the prefabricated concrete cladding.
