The New Town Hall is a challenging project, covering a total area of 5,000m². It consists of a cluster of four buildings situated on an archeological site. Reinforced concrete, steel and base isolated structures have been designed to co-exist with the antiquities.
Building 1.3, the technical services building, is one of the most interesting structures of this project. It is a three-story reinforced concrete frame with spans of 14m and 4m cantilevers without internal continuity, supported by 10 isolation bearings (FPS) that have been placed on top of 10 cantilevered columns connected at their tops with tie beams.
