| Abstract: | The following text presents a comparative analysis of the light structures of the Uruguayan engineer Eladio Dieste and the Spanish architect Félix Candela. Through 4 relevant works, such as the restaurant Los Manantiales, the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the church of San Juan de Ávila and the pavilion of the Don Bosco school, key aspects in the development of the architecture of both and their functioning are compared. By means of the spans, as the main objective of the singular architectures, the supports and the execution process, the aim is to extract the advantages and disadvantages of the singular construction techniques of these two geniuses of 20th century engineering, structural ceramics and concrete shells. The main results are that the use of structural supports (pillars) makes it possible to achieve greater heights than with the use of concrete shells. As for the execution processes, there is no clear advantage of one over the other, as each one has its own particularities when it comes to carrying them out. The spans achieved with concrete shells are almost twice as large as with reinforced ceramics, which makes it suitable for unique buildings with a need for diaphanous spatiality. |
