Uso innovador y sostenible de la madera en arquitectura contemporánea: el caso de la Fundación Louis Vuitton
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
El edificio de la Fundación Louis Vuitton (LV), diseñado por Frank Gehry y ubicado en el Bois de Boulogne de París, es un ícono de la arquitectura contemporánea que combina arte, ingeniería y sostenibilidad. Este artículo explora el uso innovador de la madera en su construcción, destacando el empleo de madera laminada cruzada (CLT) y madera laminada encolada (Glulam). Se analizan las propiedades estructurales de este tipo de materiales, su contribución a la sostenibilidad y los posibles desafíos técnicos superados durante la construcción. Basado en una revisión de literatura científica y técnica, este trabajo demuestra cómo la madera -en términos generales- puede ser un material viable para proyectos arquitectónicos de alta gama, estableciendo un precedente para futuras construcciones.
