Abstract:
The purpose of this research is the development of a constructive and structural system, whose intrinsic operating fundamentals allow great flexibility dimensional, a shape plastic value, and great portability at the same time serve as a response to new proposals for Design for Urban Infrastructure: Parks, Buildings, Streets and Systems.
We also intend to show that this system generates surfaces capable of giving a multifunctional response.
Thus it is possible to create space, among other properties to serve as moderators environmental e.g. conferring protection against the elements and generating shelters.
By the inherent geometry of the basic properties proposed building system still allows a performance of an acoustic control level.
This flexible modular system is based on the understanding and utilization of a set of structural phenomena that informs and maintain its design and passing through the induction of several levels of tension into the membranes.
The relationship of these phenomena and principles of structural and constructive order to allow flexibility and optimization conception and construction processes.
