Comments(0) Lucio Blandini z inštituta za lahke konstrukcije na univerzi v Stuttgartu je s precej revolucionarno tehniko združevanja stekla izdelal prototip steklene kupole brez moteèe kovinske konstrukcije in s tem odprl nove možnosti v arhitekturi.
there is no wall, inside is out….
The glass dome sits on a titanium ring that’s lifted off the ground by 32 stainless steel columns, which Blandini calls a “dematerialized support system.” Titanium’s reaction to heat and cold is similar to that of glass and, unlike steel, will allow the glass to expand and contract freely. The key to this project is the use of adhesives as a joining system. The beauty of gluing glass panes together, of course, is the ability to create a continuous glazed structure, unimpeded by steel bolts and joints.
