Window Structures in Building with Historical Building Preservation

Abstract:

The building of Faculty of Architecture SUT in Bratislava can be considered by its character and complex design as one of mature works of architect prof. Emil Belluš, DrSc. It is proofed not only by architectonic and spatial concept, but also overall technical facilities, details design and used material scale and their technical and handcrafted quality. The building was constructed in years 1950–1952. The window structures of building are not only the distinguished structural elements but also they are phraseology of the architectural work. They belong to relevant façade structural elements while, at the same time, they determine format, aesthetic impression and façade value. Due to extensive window defects which, in many cases, caused as much as a function loss, it was necessary to change them. The requirements of specialists for listed buildings comprised the preservation of material, facial, colour and function design with the aim of energy saving.
