This article tackles the construction process of a structure corresponding to the sports space of La Coruña University. It treats an uncommon solution consisting of supporting walls of I foot thick perforated brick masonry, that are folded, to form a surface of double curvature giving the walls stability, as they reach the height of 10 metres. The mentioned walls , apart from constituting the space closure, serve to support the structure of the covering which consists of a space truss of semiocthedric pilable modules conformed to hollow tubular pieces of laminated wood. This work manifests the interest and the validity of the use of reinforced ceramics f or the structural elements • as it efficiently umites an optimal mechanical behaviour with some indubitable formal possibililies. It is difficult to justify the omission of the use of this technique in the contemporary architecture.
