宇宙射线馆是抛物线结构的首次实验之一。
双曲线结构由很薄的混凝土层制成,体现了其结构和设计能力。这些数学上复杂的结构定义了该馆设计师Felix Candela的流行建筑。

The Cosmic Rays Pavilion represents one of the first experiments with parabolic structures.
The double curved structure is made of a very thin layer of concrete, exemplifying its structural and design capabilities. These mathematically complex structures define the popular architecture of the pavilion’s designer Felix Candela.

测量40英尺×35英尺的展馆,该结构包含了两个实验室空间,专门用于测量宇宙射线和核解体的Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Ciudad Universitaria。它的外壳非常薄,非常合适。
覆盖层最厚处只有5/8英寸,是有史以来最薄的铸件之一。它在1951年的建造标志着混凝土外壳建筑的重大进步之一。

Measuring 40 feet by 35 feet the pavilion, the structure contains two laboratory spaces specializing in the measurement of cosmic rays and nuclear disintegration for the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Ciudad Universitaria. It’s remarkably thin shell is quite appropriate
At its thickest point the covering reaches only 5/8 inch, one of the thinnest casts ever created. Its construction in 1951 marked one of the major advancements in concrete shell architecture.

外部垂直墙体由钢筋混凝土制成,呈波纹状。壳体的地基由三个主要的拱形支架支撑,拱形支架由混凝土基座支撑。
进入建筑的入口从底盘进入内部的第一个海湾。两个海湾由三个主要的 “拱门 “形成,一个主抛物线与两个双曲线抛物线,中间用混凝土垂挂。

The exterior vertical walls are made from reinforced concrete formed in a corrugated configuration. The foundation of the shell rests upon three main arching supports which are carried down into concrete footings.
The entrance into the building comes from the undercarriage up into the first bay of the interior. Two bays are created by three main “arches”, one main parabola with two hyperbolic paraboloids, with concrete draping between.
