| Resumo: | [EN] The article refers to the roof over the stage of the Angela Peralta open-air theater in Mexico City built in 1938-1939 by Roberts & Schaefer Co. from Chicago under the Dywidag license of Dyckerhoff and Widmann. This may be considered the earliest reinforced concrete thin shell in Mexico with synclastic double curvature, as well as the first cover for the stage of an open-air theater in Mexico. The objective is to contextualize the work to contribute to its valuation in the history of modern architectural construction in Mexico. A first contextual approach would be the achievements in Germany, where the structural principles for designing this type of roof were specified. In addition, there is the American context, where the presence of large international construction companies led to the promotion of curved reinforced concrete roofs. The immediate context is the Mexican, where since the beginning of the 20th century several designers, businessmen and workers had been formed for the elaboration of reinforcement and molds. It was an environment that grew in post-revolutionary times. In addition, it is important to outline the context in which the first open-air theaters emerged, the function for which the structure was built. In these four contextual levels arose that shell which in 1938 was the second double-curvature shell in America and which still in 1954 Anton Tedesko pointed out as part of the diffusion of these kinds of structures. |
