Abstract

Building comprising a resistant structure comprising, in turn, an external structure configured to hold an external glazing (3), a plurality of external meridians (2) configured to form the external structure, an upper polar ring (16) configured to fix an upper end of the external meridians (2) and a lower polar ring (4) configured to fix a lower end of the external meridians (2), in which the external meridians (2), the upper polar ring (16) and the lower polar ring (4) form a self-supporting sturdy structure.

Description

BUILDING

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a spherical building, which can be used as

5

restaurant viewpoint, configured to be located high above the space.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are multiple cases of restaurants located on top of a tower or

skyscrapers, but no one is known that is perfectly spherical and contains

1 o

interior the set of dependencies necessary for its independent operation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention resolves in a spherical form both above and below,

in front and behind, a building that can be located on top of an arch that constitutes

fifteen

the structure that can keep said sphere in the air.

The external substructure of the building poses 36 equal circular sectors

rotated or offset 10 ° each with respect to the center of the sphere, constituting

meridians, so that all of them are in the respective rings

polar located at the top and bottom of the sphere.

twenty

These rings are double to allow to hold both the interior glasses and

the exteriors, creating among them a large air chamber where the heating is recirculated

or the air conditioning, to achieve the joint conditioning of the sphere that can

Contain a restaurant gazebo.

This sphere has a set of different levels of use, as well as

25

an entry and exit of visitors from the bottom, visible from below. Inside the

sphere are located other elevators and stairs for internal use.

In order to be able to hold the structure in the air with the appearance of lightness, the

sphere can be supported laterally at the ends of a structure in the form of

arch, to be seen in its entirety above and below.

30

The set of the 6 levels that are arranged in the building, are all of them

concentric and of different diameter, when the slabs are arranged as if they were

horizontal sections of the sphere itself.

Among the different levels that the building incorporates, is the lower level

of access or ground floor, of smaller size, where the self-leveling elevators arrive that

They raise visitors.

The 1st floor may incorporate a museum or administrative units of the

building.

5

The 2nd floor can be used as a viewpoint, being below the equator

of the sphere, and having a double height at least in part of its surface.

The 3rd floor, set back with respect to the previous floor to leave a double

height, can accommodate the necessary services of the building, with a smaller area.

The 4th floor, can be the same size as the 2nd floor, and can accommodate

1 o

A cafeteria with its dependencies.

The 5th and last floor, which may correspond to the size of the 1st floor,

it is arranged under a vaulted ceiling closed by the meridian rings that converge in the

upper polar ring On this floor a revolving restaurant can be located that will move

circularly supported above a fixed platform.

fifteen

The whole set has a central elevator that serves as a vertical connection and

helical stairs that connect the different floors to each other.

The structure that supports the sphere in space, has access stairs and

emergency exit running through the arc starts that keep in the air

said sphere.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In order to design and build a restaurant lookout that is so

as spherical as possible and remain stable in the air, a sphere has been designed that

shall be attached to a structure (O) that is not part of this invention and that is

presupposes arc.

twenty

Figure 1 shows the spherical restaurant viewpoint (1) below the

sphere, seeing that it does not have a support under its vertical, although the

lateral structural supports (0).

The sphere comprises 36 double circular sectors (2, 2 '), out of phase or rotated

10 ° each other, holding the glazing (3, 3 ') between them and following the line of the

25

meridians, to converge below in an Antarctic or lower polar ring (4) that joins them

each other and ends with another concentric closure ring (5). It also shows from

below, the access (6) and exit (6 ') of the elevators that go up to the visitors.

In Figure 2 a vertical section is raised along the longitudinal axis of the viewpoint

Spherical restaurant, to appreciate the different levels of use.

30

The section clearly shows the separation between the meridian rings

(2, 2 ') where the air that conditions the whole of the sphere circulates for its

habitability

The lowest level or ground floor (7) receives the arrival of the elevators with their

passengers, which will be distributed along the successive levels of the building

spherical, which is reached by a spiral staircase (8) and a vertical elevator (9).

The different levels or forges of use are constituted in cuts that follow the

parallels of the sphere, the first level (11) being the same size as the fifth level

5

(15) and the second level (12) equal to the fourth level (14), leaving the third level (13) more

set back to offer a double height on the second level (12).

In figure 3 the section is seen on the ground floor, where in addition to

the structure (O) that holds the structure in the air, the meridians are appreciated

concentric (2, 2 ') and its intermediate crystals (3, 3'). It also shows an elevator

1 o

self-leveling (1 O) that has come through the access or lower door (6) of the sphere, to

be able to stock visitors to the spherical restaurant viewpoint (1). Visitors can

access the different levels through the stairs (8) or the elevator (9).

Figure 4 shows the first level (11) accessed by the ladder (8)

and the elevator (9) and that it all flies from the interior structure (17) that extends from the

fifteen

external (O) that is assumed to be an arch where the stairs are located

emergency exit (18, 18 ') of said sphere. A possible use for this plant is

museum or administrative offices.

In figure 5, the second level (12) equivalent to the previous one but of

larger size or circular surface. A possible use for this plant is from viewpoint in

twenty

double height.

In figure 6, the third level (13) is shown where the floor is set back

with respect to the outer perimeter of the sphere, so that the lower floor can have a

double height. A possible use of this plant is services.

In figure 7, the fourth level (14) is shown that is the same size as the

25

second level (12), although in this case a possible use is cafeteria.

In figure 8, the last habitable floor or fifth level (15) is shown where

a panoramic rotating restaurant that has a fixed central area (15 ') can be located

and another mobile perimeter (19), which rotates horizontally with respect to the axis of the sphere.

The whole of the previous space is covered by the dome-shaped closure

30

spherical viewpoint restaurant, which can go through lighting (20, 20 ')

that runs over the arch (O) that constitutes the outer structure.

In figure 9, the top closure of the

spherical restaurant viewpoint where each of the meridian nerves (2) converge in

5 1 or 15

an arctic or higher polar ring (16). It can also be seen how the perimeter lighting of the arch (20, 20 ') is introduced into the spherical restaurant viewpoint (1).
