GOR Building
Designed by Pascal Arquitectos, GOR Building needed to meet certain thermo-acoustic requirements according to its regional location. The architect achieved this by using a highly effective energy saving hermetic facade.
In the vertical joints a common node was utilized.
"In the vertical joints a common node was utilized in order to ease the displacement of each part and to absorb, at the same time, the movements generated by earthquakes or by the building's natural auto compression."

"On the main floor, in a section of the ground that was practically given away to the public-way, a veranda was built - achieving the integration of that floor level and transforming it into a private and commercial area."
