The Simón Bolívar Social Action Complex for Music (CASMSB) is internationally recognized as a unique program that raises hope and social and professional integration of children and young people through musical training. The idea of the project is to create an urban space as a social link in a dense cultural program made up of various activities, among which the following stand out:
Music conservatory with classrooms and rehearsal rooms.
Three concert halls with 1900, 1300 and 500 seats.
Residences for musicians, restaurant, multimedia center and offices.

The building is made up of two bodies separated by an opening at the ground floor level. The lower seven-level body is located partially within the land and corresponds to a music conservatory, and public areas on the two upper levels. The upper body is suspended and supported by the vertical circulation modules, forming two concert halls with 1900 and 1300 seats.
The project is the result of obtaining first place in an international competition organized by the Andean Development Corporation (CAF), in which AEOP contributed to the design team through a robust technical justification of the structural concept presented to the jury evaluator.

The architectural parameters lead to a structural configuration that makes it particularly demanding, which stimulated the development of bold solutions adapting to the varied programs and conditions of architecture. A passive seismic protection system is proposed through an isolation system.

Structural design of the lower body characterized by having large internal volumes corresponding to rehearsal rooms, atriums and public areas. The structure is made up of reticular slabs, porticos, reinforced concrete walls and steel trusses.
Conceptual development of the structural configuration through the creation of a BIM structural model, which optimized the interaction with the design team and the visualization of structural components based on architectural conditions. Design of the roof of the main concert halls formed by a set of orthogonal trusses supported on the vertical circulation cores, which support the loads corresponding to the equipment, lights, acoustic elements and fillers of slopes for drainage and waterproofing of the roof.
Design of a distributed seismic isolation interface on the vertical circulation walls in the opening area between the two bodies, made up of a combination of elastomeric insulators with a lead heart (LBR) and natural rubber insulators (NBR).
Structural design of the design of the upper body corresponding to the concert halls, consisting of a reticular system of high beams to support the stalls, and review of the support structure corresponding to the foyer and hallways of the upper levels.
