Bank of Panamá Tower
Panama
Programmatically, the tower section is organized as a piling up of
four separate buildings. The lowest first part relates to the city with
the bank offices and its counter hall on the ground and mezzanine
floor above which a six-story parking is located. The remaining
three building pars are accentuated as prisms of different sizes
adapting to different positions, offsetting each with the one
below and hereby creating a series of terraces, with different
orientations and views over the sea and the historical city centre.
Each prism can be read as a small canonical office building
with its sky lobby with shared uses by all tenants: a restaurant,
a gym and a club for meeting and relaxing. On its up most part,
a representative hall provides stunning views all over the city.
The building envelope is resolved with a glass curtain wall
supplemented of different colour tones and transparencies that
enhances a vibrant effect of randomness in the facade, caused
not solely by apparent effects of opacity and reflection but also
by the scalar ambiguity of the standardized elements that never coincide with any obvious horizontal line of the building. This
prevents ‘reading’ the program distribution from the exterior
while introducing a diversity of elevations of the horizontal
façade elements as seen from the inside. The proposed system
incorporates naturally all particular solutions such as the
railing of the terraces, air intakes of the technical rooms or
the integrated ventilation openings of the parking levels.
