Une ponction dans le fonds Paul Guadet : les plans de pose du revêtement de l’Hôtel Carnot, 1906-1908 by Valentin Gillet

“…Frequently referred to in technical literature for workers but rarely conserved in archival collections, the laying plans provide information on both the design and the execution of cladded stoneware facades. As we have recently celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the demolition of the hotel Carnot, the recent listing of Paul Guadet’s holdings stored in the Centre d’archives d’architecture du XXe siècle was the occasion to consider the plans that were used to design and apply the stoneware cladding on its façades, and which have remained unpublished to this day.…”

Seismic and Power Generation Performance of U-Shaped Steel Connected PV-Shear Wall under Lateral Cyclic Loading by Hongmei Zhang, Jinzhi Dong, Yuanfeng Duan, Xilin Lu, Jinqing Peng

“…BIPV is now widely used in office and residential buildings, but its seismic performance still remained vague especially when the photovoltaic (PV) modules are installed on high-rise building facades. A new form of reinforced concrete shear wall integrated with photovoltaic module is proposed in this paper, aiming to apply PV module to the facades of high-rise buildings. …”

Energy study for the rehabilitation of the old Abbey of Salas de Bureba (Burgos) for residential use. Case study by Raul Briones-Llorente, Juan Maria Hidalgo-Betanzos, Paula Montoya-Saiz, Imanol Ruiz-de-Vergara-Ruiz-de-Azúa, Gabriel Rubio-Pérez, Natalia Muñoz-Rujas, Fernando Aguilar-Romero

“…The aim is to return the building to its original state, so most of the facades will not be able to be insulated. A detailed energy simulation has been conducted and all viable options have been analysed, applying passive improvements combined with the installation of renewable energies. …”

Hygrothermal Design of Connections in Wall Systems Insulated from the Inside in Historic Building by ORLIK-KOŻDOŃ Bożena

“…Due to their unique character, i.e. historic facades and architectural and decorative elements, the use of typical wall insulation methods, e.g. the ETICS system (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems), is not possible. …”

A Conditioned Exchange by Fredrik Torisson

“…During this period, the architecture of the exchanges transformed; what was a square with an inside at the outset gradually became an enclosed institution with representative façades toward the end of the period. The transition of the physical environment of exchange and the increasingly complex financial instruments interact, and this interaction is traced through a sequence of exchange-structures inspired by one another. …”

Thermoforming of Non-Developable Surfaces: Challenges in the Manufacture of Solid Surfaces, the Case of Krion K-Life by Ferran Ventura Blanch, Vishal Shahdadpuri Aswani, Pablo Hernández Vílchez

“…The results showed that, through precise adjustments in the curvature and thickness of the surface, it is possible to thermoform the solid surface without defects, such as folds or wrinkles, revealing it as a viable material for the generation of complex double-curved geometries, opening up a range of possibilities from the creation of new children’s spaces to parametric facades optimized according to their location.…”

Stability Calculation of Irregular Structures with Irregular Disorder During Seismic Impact by Zaza Jangidze

“…Three methods of restoration-reconstruction of damaged large-block multi-story buildings are proposed: metal diagonal web member and system-variable rigid in the interior space of the building, using today's terminology with seismic insulators, with the arrangement of additional frames; with reinforced-concrete pylons built over the entire height and perimeter of the building and by arranging loggias in their space; By building pylons along the longitudinal facades of the building and building a floor/floors on top of the building, along with arranging additional frames with seismic insulators if necessary. …”

Energy analysis of PV surfaces in BIPV applications by Molina-Tamayo Santiago, Yesid Moreno Andrés, Mendoza Felipe, Mesa Gabriel Espitia, Osorio- Gómez Gilberto

“…Its performance is evaluated horizontally and vertically to provide architects and designers with a reference of how power generation is impacted depending on the geometries selected for the design of facades or roofs. The study consisted of two phases, the first comprised a simulation to estimate the amount of energy a surface receives according to its geometry, orientation, location, and simulated period. …”
