Efficiency of modern construction in recent years significantly has increased mostly due to the advantages possessed by aluminum: its specific gravity is about 3 times less than steel, a minimum design life of structures made of aluminum alloys – 80 years. Aluminum works reliably in all climatic conditions, ranging from –80 to +100° C, while it keeps its structural properties with temperature changes. Attractive appearance, short construction period, energysaving benefits of glass as a filler – all this is not a complete list of positive features of aluminum facades.

Inhabited «Bridge»

The Inhabited Complex Versis, erecting in the avenue Nahimovsky, is unique not only thanks to its architecture (see details Dream sails. Tall Buildings. 2011. № 1. P. 64-67). The general designer of the working documentation is “Firma ISTOKStroy”, Ltd. Building constructions, designed by the company, is not less interesting or unique.

Chemical Anchors for Aerated Concrete

Spanning over the Tube Lines

(Issue of a magazine 1/2011, page 80)

It’s rather rare thing for civil engineering to design bay elements, which span is wider than 40 meters. It’s not surprising that ISTOK Stroy, which developed such a structure, was urged to devise lots of unconventional design solutions. This article is describing these features.

 

Translucent Apparel

Up-to-date megapolis is fairly unimaginable without high-rise buildings. And there are numerous reasons justifying such a presence: the specific city aesthetics, and the scarcity of constructible surface, which price is positively sky-high, desire to hub different interrelating businesses or dissipated corporate subsidiaries, which regard such structures as a part of their branding.
