Abstract:
The construction of the Banco Popular new headquarters has been developed in two phases. In the first phase, the new Data Processing Centre building was designed and built next to A-2 motorway in Madrid, and came into use in January 2013. The second phase of the building's structure is now finished and it is planned to be fully completed in June 2017. This second phase, with a constructed area of 125,000 m2, incorporates a great variety of structural solutions into a unique architectural project of great representative value. The article will focus mainly on this second phase.
