Abstract

El techo del vestíbulo principal de la madrileña estación de Sol contiene una de las estructuras más peculiares de toda la red del metro de Madrid. Dentro del tipo de losas planas con nervaduras, al que pertenece, fue diseñado mediante una geometría totalmente original y sin precedentes conocidos. Terminada en 1987, su diseñador fue Félix Candela, y con ella realizó, dentro de su etapa de colaboración con la empresa de ingeniería TYPSA, una obra singular que lo es incluso dentro de su propia y reconocida trayectoria. El objeto de este trabajo es el análisis del diseño de la losa del techo del vestíbulo, con  el propósito fundamental de revelar su geometría, poner de manifiesto las particulares propiedades de su dibujo y hacer algunas hipótesis sobre determinados aspectos constructivos relacionados con lo anterior.
