IBM Office Building Change this

Description Change this

For the company IBM Fisac build one of his buildings with greater urban vocation. The protection from the heat of the afternoon sun – a priority for the company after the experience with one of their American headquarters designed by Saarinen – encouraged him to try out several types of horizontal brise-soleil, but he finally opted for a superposed vertical concrete element to avoid direct radiation from the sun in the interior of the building. In this way, on a glazed plinth that showed strollers the first computers at work, six floors of open-plan offices and an attic for the cafeteria and annex services are concealed behind a permeable folding screen that echoes the vertical rhythm of the 19th century facades of Madrid’s center.
