Parametric Window
The parameterised window
The Parametric Window was developed while we carried out research into parametric façades. Thanks to the collaboration in this research with Xavier Ferrés, from Ferrés Arquitectos, we were able to work on several product design sessions and thus arrive at what we now call Parametric Window.
The design of this window and flashing system is based on the Japanese method ‘poka-yoke’ (error-proofing). This is a quality technique applied to avoid both human-error and automated faults when operating the system.
The parametric window is made up of extruded aluminium profiles, designed in detail from different matrices. Each window module is composed of a usable part and a fixed part joined by a vertical mullion that makes the window self-supporting and independent from the interior vertical substructure.
The lintel and the window sill are manufactured from the same basic matrix. Depending on whether the upper or lower part of the window is to be made, a part of the matrix may or may not be covered. In order to join these profiles horizontally, connecting rods are used via the grooves in the aluminium profile.
Advantages in design and construction:
- Maximum performance
- Easy and user-friendly installation
- High efficiency: guaranteeing your installation is always carried out correctly, as there are no other possibilities of installation.
