Bad, Lazy Architects Rejoice! Heat-Resistant Glue Makes Buildings a Craft Project

So , una buncha de architectos have inventados aheat - resistant gluefor erecciones , have they ? ( My real Spanish is reasonably bloody good , I ’m just play to the gallery , you empathize . ) Well , why am I not surprised it ’s a Spanish innovation ?

summer down in the Andalusian city of Seville are raging ( but get me tell you this , it ’s bleed brass scallywag at night between November and March ) and so it ’s not rare for plazas in the eye to have some form of tax shelter from the sun . This one above is one of the with child architectural forest structures ever built . valuate 150 x 70 meters , Parasols , in Plaza de la Encarnación , is made of Kerto - Q ( nope , me neither ) polyurethan - coated timber beams . The structure is deemed unsuitable for “ conventional mechanically skillful joining method ” , whatever they may be . Ergo , glue that can resist up to 70 degrees C of heat . The august body of cleverclogs that was burden with coming up with the viscid clobber was the Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research WKI , in Germany . Phew .

Now then , what I ’m about to say is by no means revenge on this littlepostfrom earlier in the month ( my ex- and I are still on undecomposed terms ) but architects ’ mucilage that does n’t evaporate could only have been devise in Spain . I remember going to Valencia for a long weekend about five twelvemonth ago and staring , open - mouthed at the disclose brickwork in the bedroom of my ( avowedly cheap and awful ) holiday Pancho Villa . Every third brick had a dollop of mortar on top of it , pass water the wall see like it had been mapped out using light-headed strand and a Tim Burton - designed flavour degree . I stayed out all Nox and slept on the beach the next day . [ gizmag ]
