Structures that must resist seismic loads have to be designed and conceived under this premise from the very beginning of the process. This fact is so relevant that can (and should) affect in a general way the selection of the structural system.
In general, every seismic-resistant building consists of three types of elements:
Since installations have become a fundamental aspect of projects, with a significant presence in the overall budget, and volume of the building, designers have tried to integrate them as much as possible with the building, making them coincide with other architectural elements such as structure and envelope.

Welcome. From HOLEDECK we are convinced of the structure’s relevance in sustainability. We believe that future structures should have the smallest direct and indirect impact on the carbon footprint, should be flexible, and allow for versatility which translates in greater possibilities of configuration and uses, which can contribute actively and/or passively in the construction of nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB). That is our commitment.
