Gaudí, a New Architectural Concept of Maximum Structural Efficiency: Catenary Vaults, Complex Ruled Surfaces, Branched Pillars and an Endless Innovative Strategies Open
For the first time in the history of architecture, Antonio Gaudí used structural elements based on complex ruled surfaces – beyond traditional conical or cylindrical surfaces –, catenary vaults or branched pillars, in order to increase the…

Zero cost conditioning techniques to improve the indoor environment of school buildings Open
In order to reduce the use of energy in buildings, it is necessary to make changes in the society paradigm, not only changes in the way buildings use energy. It seems appropriate to analyse the savings that can be obtained by simple action…
