Soil : a material for bio-compatible and eco-sustainable contemporary buildings
Francese, D.; Mendonça, Paulo; Buoniconti, L.For long time the research has been addressing towards the creation and the design of “high tech” components for buildings with an high performance level in any kind of situation, so as to increase a global scale dissemination and thus to ensure large market segments and wide economic incomes. This logic, based on production of goods rather than on saving resources, has provided, upon time, a number of negative...
Low cost construction : state of the art and prospects for using structure wood...
Oliveira, Marcos Guimarães de; Couto, J. Pedro; Mendonça, Paulo; Branco, Jorge M.; Silva, Mónica; Reis, António PedroThe Low cost concept in buildings is normally associated with the construction of social housing. Today, with the economic crisis, this concept becomes increasingly important to all areas and in the different social hierarchies. Low cost architecture emerges as the demand to find economical constructive solutions, but still allowing good visual, hygrothermal and acoustic performances. Wood emerges as an excelle...
Membrana divisória adaptável
Mendonça, Paulo; Macieira, MónicaPublicado em "Ciclo de wokshops fibrenamics 2012 : livro de atas", ISBN 978-989-98468-2-1 ; O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar as potencialidades das soluções de paredes divisórias interiores em membrana, nomeadamente em termos de flexibilidade de uso e adaptabilidade. A redução de peso nos elementos construtivos permite uma economia significativa de recursos materiais e energéticos, constituindo resposta re...
(Archi)textiles partitions : design specifications for reuse after deconstruction
Macieira, Mónica; Mendonça, PauloThe use of membranes in the interior of buildings, particularly on their wide application possibilities as lightweight and innovative partitions systems, is not a major architectural concern. But membranes can contribute to different types of space partitioning in: housing, offices, hospitals, sports facilities, etc., in other words, in all occasions where spatial flexibility and reversibility are essential. Th...
Textile membrane design : case-study of a membrane house prototype in Portugal
Mendonça, Paulo; Macieira, MónicaThe increasing speed in which technology is developing, as well as the social and economical changes are quickly turning buildings constructive systems and building design methodologies obsolete. The research on faster, cheaper and environmentally more respectfull building technologies are growing concerns in buildings design. These are some of the advantages of textile membranes. In a few millimeters membrane ...
Textile membranes in housing – adaptation to tropical climates
Mendonça, Paulo; Macieira, MónicaAcknowledgements : the authors wish to thank FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia – Portugal) and COMPETE (Programa Operacional de Fatores de Competitividade - Portugal) for supporting the ADjustMEMBRANE project with the reference PTDC/AUR-AQI/102321/2008. ; Construction industry is responsible for great environmental impacts in the world, some authors refer that these can be as high as 50% of the global ...
Potentialities of interior textile membrane partition walls
Macieira, Mónica; Mendonça, PauloThe research of new architectural textile membrane materials allows extending its possibilities to interior partitions in order to fulfil contemporary demands of comfort. This paper pretends to present the state of the art of textile membranes application in interior partition walls and the potentialities of Polymers and natural fibres used in these building elements
Traditional wooden buildings in Portugal : the Avieira house
Silva, Mónica; Mendonça, Paulo; Branco, Jorge M.The presence of wood in structural applications in construction was constant in Portugal until the end of the XIXth and early XXth centuries. Wood was used since the first constructions when the available resources were scarce and it continues to be present in vernacular buildings and areas whose heritage value requires their preservation. The wood as a structural material is now uncommon in residential buildin...
Characterization of polyester with fiberglass materials as reinforcement in int...
Santos, Tiago; Velosa, J. C.; Ramos, Luís F.; Fangueiro, Raúl; Mendonça, PauloSome synthetic fibers present better mechanical performance compared with the natural fibers. Therefor research works were carried out to focus the characterization of polyester and glass fibers to be used as reinforcements in the internal dividing walls. Results from polyester fabrics made of compression with or without fiberglass were obtained.
Life-cycle assessment of lightweight textile membrane partition walls
Neiva, Sara Daniela Oliveira; Mateus, Ricardo; Macieira, Mónica; Mendonça, Paulo; Bragança, L.This paper analyze the environmental, functional and economical performances of some conceptual lightweights textiles membranes partitions walls and to compare one of them with two technologies present in Portuguese market: i) the heavyweight conventional hollow brick partition wall; and ii) the lightweight reference plasterboard partition wall. Advantages of use textile/ fibrous/ membrane based materials in pa...
