Abstract

In this paper new criteria for designing of temporary architectures, that can be used as a uniform coverage for open spaces, are discussed. Frequently temporary architectures use building techniques and materials lightweight. In the case of temporary architectures the theme of sustainability requires that the structure can be reused in different occasions and contexts. The solution to these issues, developed in this paper, makes use of a innovative constructive procedure of prestressed masonry in blocks of natural stone. This procedure is used for the construction of the vertical supports of the cover, consisting of a tensostructure with shape of hyperboloid, obtained by products standard (steel profiles and membrane). The columns with prestressed blocks of natural stone, dry assembled, allow you to have a modular structure, easily assembled and disassembled, with full recovery of all elements; the stone columns, due to their weight, are able to stabilize the whole structure, even to the dynamic stresses, without using any type of foundation structure fixed to the ground. This paper shows the description of all the elements that make up the new type of temporary architecture designed.
