Abstract

[...]the system had to be flexible, that is to say adaptable to various situations (new constructions, renovations, regeneration-restyling of industrial and commercial buildings) and different applications (facades and roofs), and above all fulfil the requirement for a weathertight and watertight product. Traditional roo fing systems (tiles, bent tiles, etc.) are based on standard sized elements that are all the same and this very homogeneous nature creates a univocal, regular pattern in which the position of the overlaps is established, ensuring secure, watertight engagement between the elements. [...]the use of different sized modules and variable connections implies the need to develop engagement systems that will guarantee flexibility and weather-tightness. [...]the varied module dimensions are suitable for different needs and ensure rapid covering of any surface, be it a small house roof or the fa?ade of a commercial building or office block. In a project like this, based on the reelaboration, adaptation and formation of an element by means of digital systems in a "digipolazione" process7 of a virtual model (Fig. 7), it is also important to be able to "manipulate" the object being designed, in a sort of blended process that mixes virtual and actual processing, particularly when working on the shapes of building components involving the pliancy of metal. 3D prototyping, which makes a resin model from a virtual one (Fig. 8b), was a fundamental step that made it possible to check the accuracy of the system designed by means of a full-scale prototype shared with the company's engineers, manufacturers of the computer-aided machinery and presses to be used in manufacturing the element, as well as trusted fitters to check the response of the element from production to use.
