EcoSteel is changing the game with their innovative Asymmetrical Building Concept. Their latest project, an Athletic Facility for PickleBall, Tennis, and Basketball, showcases the incredible durability of their heavy bolted steel construction, which can withstand even Hurricane Wind Zones. Not only that, but the building’s insulated metal roof and wall panels provide superior energy efficiency. The custom design, created with 3D modeling in Revit, allowed the design team to collaborate and avoid conflicts with structures and glazing. If you’re in need of a building that’s both durable and energy-efficient, look no further than EcoSteel’s Asymmetrical Building Design.

ECOSTEEL ASYMMETRICAL BUILDINGS
Pre-modern architectural styles tended to place an emphasis on symmetry, except where extreme site conditions or historical developments lead away from this classical ideal. To the contrary, modernist and postmodern architects became much more free to use asymmetry as a design element.
While most bridges employ a symmetrical form due to intrinsic simplicities of design, analysis and fabrication and economical use of materials, a number of modern bridges have deliberately departed from this, either in response to site-specific considerations or to create a dramatic design statement.
