The binding of elements becomes important in the current architecture, while previously relied primarily to masonry or concrete. The elements are lighter. Standardization, adjustable-idea, are new factors to consider in a design. Join
profiles as solutions that respond to this, there are several building systems.
Metalcon is one of these, having the opportunity to work with him. In partnership with two colleagues from the Catholic University recently designed and built the second level of hardware, entirely in this system.
Metalcon
Construction on the hardware Pucoyam includes offices, reception, meeting rooms, workstations, and bathrooms, designed primarily architectural plans to house the program.
Quickly built, this system may be an appropriate solution for office buildings. It is composed of galvanized steel, joined by self-drilling screws. Can build up to three levels, the entire structure of offices and work stations has been fixed in the system.
The structure, based on these profiles, provides all the perimeter and internal partitions, plates by coating the inside with 15mm plasterboard, fixed with trumpet head self drilling screws, and out with plates Instapanel. Inside, as insulation, mineral wool is placed double-sided, 80 mm thick and, as a barrier to moisture, asphalt felt 15lbs. The distance between uprights is 40 cm. Wall
Metalcon allows varied siding: wood structural panels, cement panels, stucco over metal lath, plastic siding, brick veneer, etc. As a thermal insulation inside the walls, you can use glass wool or expanded polystyrene, the easy installation since it does not require the walls of ridges, you can install insulation rolls or sheets in full, without requiring cuts. As
lining is used mainly plasterboard or cement board. You can also use wood, or other coverings.
Studs or studs every 40 inches.
Aislanglass type insulation in the interior.
Reception and workstations.
Bath & office.
To date this is the state of the construction. Drawn and interior elevations, it is expected that the coating is ready in the coming weeks. When office hardware, the idea is that in general is a sample of what is available.
creative uses of coatings in architectural works
Sea to mark a character value to a geometry, or wall, coatings appear as an important part in the appearance of a work. Continually presents new developments in this area, technology, and materials, determining a notorious project, giving a contemporary character.
Among these innovations, the third coating is a phenol formaldehyde resin panel WBP type, moisture resistant, and good looking. Presents a side longitudinal grooves sanded and lateral overlap, joining the boards.
construction can be used for structural diaphragm wall, or lining, also serving for ceilings and eaves.
School Villa El Palqui, José Cruz Ovalle and partners, relies on this new coating, which highlights gaps and geometries, scaling and modulating through the slots. The structure is lumber and plywood from radiata pine, while the primer coating is treated with UV-filter, and repellent to termites.

Softwave coating 25, of Hunter Douglas, is composed of refurbished aluminum panels of curved lines. It is used for facades, exterior and interior, industry, buildings, houses, and can be installed both horizontally and vertically, quickly and easily. Fits
continuous sheets up to 8 meters with an anchoring system in the meetings. In high wind areas recommended additional anchoring devices. Also
can be used in acoustic applications and passive solar control. The University of the Americas, in Concepcion, Duran and Associates Architects, uses this product as a facade.

is also interesting to see the latest catalogs Cintac, particularly suitable for use in metal building, deploying a vast range:

Concerning application of architectural value, there are recent reference to its use in naturally and spontaneously. The Opera House Oslo, Snohetta, stands above all for the siding, white stone paths in different textures and addresses, while volumes are clad in metal panels. The texture work is remarkable on the outside, enhancing the architecture in a close, beyond the general image of the project. In building 9000 m² were used stamped aluminum sheet, provided by RMIG as facade cladding. The rate of color panels, apparent in other projects, is replaced here by a subtle work of textures.

Glaciarium "Ice Museum Patagonian, Cordeyro Santiago, Pablo Güiraldes
The construction of this project is the combination of two economic systems: ships metal lattice structure, and coating of metal, and fast construction system called "Cassaforma."
The main hall has an average height of 6.00 meters, built with a structure of columns and lattice girders on foundation footings and beam-free chain of reinforced concrete. The siding and roof are corrugated sinusoidal, with glass wool insulation of 50mm film polypropylene. The woodwork is made with anodized aluminum structure's natural color Aluar IBM type, double glazed glass float inside, and laminated glass on the outside. Subfloors and floors of wards, and the hall, audiences are constructed as concrete chasm mesh 8mm thick, polished to completion.
Siding & Construction
The coating is integral to the image of a project. It takes courage and a plan to increasingly use and streamlined these elements, as seen, can be used to scale a work, to assimilate it or enhance it in context. So see the item is valued born in close connection with the idea, with architectural elements that gesture, rather than attached application, also going hand in hand with advances in technology.
