Centro Los Horcones

3,500 square meters of customs control and border post for the Argentine Customs Authority. The scope includes detailed engineering and construction drawings, programming, and BIM modeling and coordination. In the design of a customs control and border post in Los Horcones, Mendoza, a deep understanding of the environment reveals its primary importance. The geographical uniqueness of Mendoza, characterized by its propensity to earthquakes and snowfall, fundamentally conditions the way it is built and designed. Engineering must adapt to these climatic and geological realities, incorporating structural and design measures that ensure the resilience of the building against seismic events and extreme weather conditions. This detailed knowledge of the environment is translated into intelligent architectural solutions that not only respect security, but also local identity. Developing this project at the construction executive level with the BIM methodology becomes a strategic imperative. BIM not only allows for an accurate three-dimensional representation of the project, but also facilitates the integration of crucial information about Mendoza's specific geographic and climatic conditions. The BIM methodology, by providing a collaborative platform, improves coordination between design and construction teams, allowing informed decision making and early identification of potential challenges during execution.
