Gimnasio FADA (FADA-UNA Gymnasium)

Outline
New building of Asunción National University. The building consists of prefabricated bricks in triangular modules as permanent formwork, between which reinforced concrete is cast. The versatility of the triangular module allows the bricks to be used as the main building elements from the floor to the ceiling. The structural system, which can be made by unskilled craftsmen using bricks from the region, has been developed into pavilions in Paraguay with variations from time to time.
