Article Preview

Abstract:

Nowdays, the creation of many new and modern architectural structures, modernization of historical and cultural monuments, and the acquisition of new architectural solutions have become possible thanks to the use of new technologies and new construction materials. The discovery of transparent polymer materials in the architectural and construction industry allowed not only to achieve significant lightweight of the buildings but also to create unique and innovative forms for structures and architectural environments. The use of ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) plastic material, which is already a widely used polymer material, is quite perspective in the global and Armenian construction fields. Based on the series of researches and a number of already constructed architectural solutions in international practice, it is clear that the studied material will solve a number of issues for the preservation of the environment and individual structures, that will enable to preserve the established Armenian architecture with contemporary approaches, with a significant contribution in the formulation process of contemporary architecture. In addition, the use of the above-mentioned material in the design process of the new architectural structures can create interesting combinations of traditional and modern forms, in the design of a individual structures, as well as in the formation of separate structures of the architectural complexes by applying the advantages and disadvantages associated with the aesthetic and functional properties of the materials.
