Synagogue for the Jewish Amijai Community, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Cost-Effective Formwork Adjustment
on Extraordinary Structure
For the construction of this synagogue for the Jewish Amijai community in Buenos Aires, bold architectural forms took centre stage. The geometrically demanding structure is characterised by overlapping circular and curved wall sections whose surfaces had to be done in an architectural concrete finish.
The most important prerequisites in carrying out the project were that forming had to comply exactly with the required configurations, the accentuating of architectural details through plywood joints as well as a regular arrangement of tie positions. A solution was found whereby PERI engineers developed three-dimensional assembly drawings based on a 3D AutoCAD model provided by the client. The formwork elements from the PERI production hall in Buenos Aires were then delivered to the construction site already preassembled.
Due to the precise and detailed work by PERI engineers at the Buenos Aires office of PERI Argentina, the accurate implementation of the plans by the PERI assembly team, the on-site technical consultation and the flexible adaptability of the VARIO GT 24 formwork system, the experienced construction crew could fulfil the demanding architectural requirements.
