The façade is made up of 7,723 blown glass spheres made by craftsmen at a workshop in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Each sphere is supported by a disk of EPDM (a kind of rubber used in the automobile industry, with excellent resistance to weathering), which in turn is fastened to a stainless steel cable by means of a conventional nut. Each cable carries a maximum of 27 spheres, which are fastened at the top to the concrete structure of the building and at the bottom to structural steel elements.
That’s the words from Hierve-Diseñería, the designer of Hesiodo.
