This project
aims to create sun protection for the windows of the building. On the one hand,
by means of the frames tensioned with the i-Tensing system, the aim is to
create a mobile system of panels which allows movement to both protect from and
allow the entry of light, depending on the need at any time. On the other hand,
the tensioned strips of tarpaulin create a private space, through which light
enters. Finally, the tensioned sails generate a relaxed space for resting in the
shade.
The i-Tensing
frames are formed of a perimeter aluminium frame treated with silver anodising,
and tarpaulin tensioned by means of this perimeter profile. The tarpaulin
chosen for this project is Soltis 86. These frames are guided by an upper and a
lower guide, along which they travel freely so that the panel can be secured in
any position along the guide. The tensioned Strips are formed of a supporting
structure of square steel tubes, treated with hot-dip galvanisation and
lacquered in RAL 1003, to improve protection in a saline environment. The
Soltis 86 tarpaulin is tensioned around its perimeter by aluminium profiles.
The sails rest on metal pillars, treated with hot-dip galvanisation and
lacquered in RAL 9010; around the perimeter, the tarpaulin has a tensioned
cable.
