  • Cladding in Architecture: Its Projection Towards New Technologies from a Retrospective View
    CASTELLÓN (SPAIN) CLADDING IN ARCHITECTURE: ITS PROJECTION TOWARDS NEW TECHNOLOGIES FROM A RETROSPECTIVE VIEW (1) M.C. Vacca, (2) J. Avellaneda (1) PhD student of Architecture – Architectural Buildings Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Barcelona, Spain (2) Doctor of Architecture – Architectural Buildings I Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Barcelona, Spain 1 CASTELLÓN (SPAIN) 1. PRESENTANTION This paper is based on the doctoral thesis, directed by Doctor Jaume Avellaneda Diaz-Grande and prepared for the Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, by the architect María Celina Vacca entitled “The Cladding of Architectural Surfaces with Ceramic Tiles – a Comparative Study of the Evolution of Materials, Manufacturing Techniques and Installation in the Main Production Centres in Spain and Other Countries from the Industrial Revolution to the Present”. The primary reason for writing this thesis is to identify the role of ceramics in the history of Spanish architecture. Based on the Spanish-Arab tradition and passed on over the centuries, the industry started with the first earthenware tiles made in Malaga in the XIIIth century, then in Manises in the XVth century and in Catalonia in the XIXth century. It was in that century that Spain was recognized throughout Europe as the country with the longest historical tradition in this material. This is why this thesis focuses on studying ceramics in the period from the Industrial Revolution to the present day from the perspective of new trends and technological advances in the manufacture, installation,

Then save your work as either a Microsoft word document (.doc or .docx) or as a PDF file (.pdf) and upload to Canvas. If you write your answers by hand, you may scan your work and paste the images into either of these file types, but submissions that are NOT either of these file types will not upload properly.

Equations of the Week Concept Description Units L Distance of diffusion m D Diffusion coefficient m2/s t Time to diffuse s Problem 1: Lab Follow-up (28 points) In last week’s lab, you made molten chocolate cakes. The protocol called for you to measure the temperature at different distances from the center as it either steamed or baked. Because of how difficult it can be to collect data on your own using the original recipe for molten chocolate cake, we didn’t ask you to make it in an oven without a water bath. However, you can collect this data if you have enough people to help out.

T. Selli* Eczacibasi Building Products Co. VitrA Innovation Center Bozuyuk/Bilecik, Turkey A synthetic whitening composition is proposed as a whitening agent of porcelain tile body with a certain amount for the turning the body colour into whiteness. Active component used in the agent is zirconium silicate and this component is aected by the market speculation.This situation increases considerably the production costs. For these reasons an alternative whitening composition is required. The aim of the study is to prepare new whitening composition without zirconium silicate, with controlling crystalline phases in the porcelain stoneware tile, and to carry out characterization studies (such as XRD, SEM and EDX) and to correlate the whiteness value and the amount and type of crystalline phases in the porcelain tiles.
