Notes
The main plazas of the Puerta La Victoria shopping mall are covered with two elliptic, pneumatic cushions. One, measuring 1200 m², consists of PVC fabric, the other one with an area of 600 m² described here is built of transparent ETFE membrane. 3dtex was involved in the design and production of this ETFE cushion, one of the biggest ETFE cushions in the world.
The cushion is supported by parallel steel cables each 80 cm to remove the wind loads in the surrounding steel construction. Special issues concerning the security concept and secure drainage of the 9 m height cushion brought required a solution that would avoid water pockets in case of pneumatic air supply failure.
