CONSTRUCTION
the project is subjected to extreme environmental conditions: high radiation, winds, dust or snow storms,
heat, and cold, so the building had to adapt and be designed based on the impacts that these factors could
cause in the form.
• The weight of the snow and the impact of the wind on the
structure were considered, which could require over-
structuring in order to prevent deformations. two strategies
were considered, separated by layers.
• The first one was to think of an aerial structure with a lower • The second strategy consisted of burying the main level of
curvature that would better adapt to the wind. the program, locating the court on an underground level, and
taking advantage of the geothermal energy of the place.
Both strategies resulted in a concave shape, generating a continuous space with a high degree of comfort, as
it has a clearly differentiated cool underground level from the roof.
Afterwards, the curvature of the roof was reduced, making it more aerodynamic and achieving a larger
thermal comfort zone in the lower level, requiring even further burying of the usable space.

Overall, the building is shaped like the back of a whale ( which is why it is called Whale), so
the linear structure of the building is a representation of whale bones.
STRUCTURAL PATTERNS
Structure
System Linear
The Yale Whale utilizes a
cable structure on its roof. The
construction of this building was
initially by building a core at the center
of the building made of concrete arch.
Then from the concrete arch, long walls
are made on two sides parallel to the
center. Cables are strung from the
center to the wall.
