Torre Girasoles

Torre Girasoles (Spanish for Sunflower Tower) is a mixed-use high-rise residential building in the San Jorge district of La Paz, Bolivia.

The building was initially planned for residential use, which is still the latter's primary function, but it also includes office spaces, a hotel and a shopping center on the first floors.

It also has 180 parking spaces, distributed over four underground levels, which ascend in a spiral shape, it also has a resistant seismic system and an electric generator to supply the building if a power outage occurs in the area.

[4] Throughout the construction phase, it was established that the primary focus of the building's optimization study consists of the columns and their varying mechanical resistance characteristics of the concrete.

In this regard, by analyzing these elements and inputting data into the structural simulator, key factors of variation associated with the increase in mechanical resistances were assessed.
