Abstract

The outstanding feature of this building is the very large surface of glazing that encloses the inner space. It enables to have a fine view of the exterior. These glazed surfaces are protected by antidazzle coloured glass screens, which also help to protect the curtain walls from the high summer temperatures, and isolate visually the inner clinical installations from the direct view of passers by. The ground floor is a parking space, and the top one contains the medical consultation units, which are arranged in four mutually perpendicular wings, and open on to a central hall and two lateral corridors, converging on it.

Summary

Introduction

Terra Linda es el nombre de un barrio del condado de Marín —actualmente en construcción— que va dejando de ser «linda» debido a las múltiples exigencias que acarrea el progreso: construcción de estaciones de gasolina, aparcamientos y otras imposiciones de la época actual del motor. © Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas Licencia Creative Commons 3.0 España (by-nc) en California - U.S.A. La característica fundamental de este edificio consiste en sus grandes ventanales, que permiten amplias vistas hacia el exterior y están protegidos por pantallas antideslumbrantes de cristal coloreado para resguardar el muro-cortina de las elevadas temperaturas veraniegas y aislar visualmente las clínicas de la contemplación directa desde el exterior.
