Architectural membranes on building's functional refurbishment

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The aim of this study is to make an insight about architectural membrane applications for building's functional refurbishment, analysing the characteristics that make architectural membranes suitable for this purpose. It is based on sixty interventions used as case studies that are classified chronologically and by countries and uses, pointing out also their applications. Several design strategies are identified and contrasted with the principles set for interventions in existing buildings. The results are illustrated with examples chosen from the case studies, highlighting how membrane building technologies can fulfil the most important principles of building refurbishment.
