Modern insulation material as a new pipe design option

doc. Ing. Lenka Prokopová, Ph.D.

The paper presents the research of thin layer insulating material on technical distributions. This material can be a new possibility for the design concept of pipes in buildings. Technical pipelines are an integral part of the building, the usual solutio n is to "hide " these elements in the ceiling or shaft. However, there is a number of important realizations in which the architects were able to deal with visible technical pipelines, whether it is the Center Georges Pompidou,where the authors followed th e path of com plete and organized visibility of technical distributions or, conversely, there are implementations that don't cover many pipelines but at the same time using simple effects in the form of coloring them they try to make them "invisible". One s uch example f or all is the Tate modern. In all ingenious concepts of pipes in space, colors play a major role. Nowadays, it is not possible to meet the legislative requirements for the thermal insulation of pipes with conventional coatings. At the same ti me, common te chnical thermal insulation materia ls do not provide an excessive possibility of the artistic interconnection of space with technical distributions. We have therefore focused on a thin layer insulating material that meets the above requirements This paper presents, on specific examples, how well the interconnection of colors, technical elements, building architecture and public space works and points out the importance of interdisciplinary interconnection of individual professions that shape bu ildings
