Huella

2011

Concrete two-layer dry-cast paver. Its large-edge geometry allows for self-locking, water-permeable compositions, inspired by the universal shape of the human footprint.

Its design allows areas with different densities to be installed for pedestrians and occasional light vehicle traffic. When spaced apart, these pavers facilitate a graduated grid of pavement and grass.

The geometry of the paving stone is metaphorically and anthropologically inspired by the mark on the ground where man has passed, as a sign of a vestige. The design of the Huella (footprint) paving stone allows for the creation of gradual grid patterns with percentages of paving stones ranging from 100% to 60%, adapting to different requirements for rainwater absorption. It also facilitates the combination with grass or sand surfaces in the construction of “soft” boundaries between built and natural surfaces.

The paving stones, 10 cm thick, are placed on a leveled sand bed of 4 to 6 cm, which in turn extends over a previously compacted and leveled soil base with a minimum thickness of 20 cm, or concrete (H-200) with a thickness of 15 cm. Fine sand is used for filling and confinement.
