Abstract (EN): In spite of the importance that the vertical envelope of buildings has always had, nowadays unquestionably a greater value is given to image and to an attempt to make the most of the potentialities and bold use of technique as well as materials. In recent years this greater emphasis on image and on a set of requirements concerning comfort and durability in particular, has witnessed the need for specialised technical involvement in new areas such as the envelope of buildings.
