Abstract:
Casa Dent is a single story concrete structure with a flat-plate roof slab supported by 13 cast-in-place, fabric-formed, reinforced concrete columns. Fabric formwork was chosen for this project because of its unique architectural and sculptural capabilities. Beyond the architectural advantages offered by this method, however, there are several unique technical aspects to this project that are worthy of discussion.
