Speaking on the Topic of the Day
The fragile monumentality this way can be described a modern style of architecture. Baroque, Empire, Classical and other styles are gradually becoming history. We may still admire the convoluted stucco moldings, impressive arches, Gothic steeples, but this is usually not the places where we live or work, but cultural heritage, protected historical landmarks. The rhythm of modern life is very complicated, rich in a multitude of events, and together with the lack of time and space, makes a person unconsciously seek to easiness, simplicity and practicality in everything, including architecture.
Among the latest innovations in the construction world the light transparent design or more simply, the structures of impact-resistant glass that increasingly used for the buildings erection. Despite the stereotypical thought, attending when you look at the glass house, saying: “The first hail or a stone thrown by bully, easily destroy these walls!” The material has already established itself in the construction market and operated for long and successfully.
Production technology reached the point that even in case of mechanical failure in any component of this facade can be easily replaced without having to dismantle the entire structure. The item itself if damaged will not be destroyed but only deformed thanks to an invisible membrane, subtending fiberglass, and limiting frames and fixtures, not giving it to scatter into small pieces. This fact is extremely important when it comes to safety.
Translucent structures are a kind of a puzzle from the aluminum with glass inserts. And in the domestic construction industry is no longer an overseas wonder. Nowadays in Russia there are a lot of companies - manufacturers of the aforementioned constructions, which use similar high-tech western equipment. The existence of such equipment from manufacturers completely provides our construction companies of the necessary materials and saves on transporting them from abroad. In turn, the reduction in transport costs and the absence of customs duties make acceptable the corresponding expenditures in the budget for our customers.
One would think what to complain about in the given segment? But there are a number of problems hindering work with local organizations that produce structures that have become so popular in the construction and urban landscape design that we can not do without them. These problems are rather acute and their solution should be taken seriously.
