Martinez Tile Glazing Workshop: The first experimental all-gunite concrete building, with vaulted ceiling and pitched roof
1979Barrel vault ceiling and pitched roof, both made by using the gunite technique, constructed in six basic steps: 1) Fabrication of a full scale mockup of a section of the ceiling formwork, out of metal and plywood; 2) Construction of the vaulted ceiling formwork, after the slope of the pitched roof is finalized with a mockup with plywood sheets; 3) reinforcement of the barrel vault and shooting of gunite; 4) construction of the cable ends of the pitched roof; 5) waterproofing and thermal insulation shaped as per the slope of the pitched roof, so as to function as its formwork; 6) reinforcement of the concrete roof and shooting of gunite.
