Opening filters, revolving shutter, Gaudí and Múgica’s InheritorsAbstract
The impoverishment of the filters on the windows has drastically reduced their energy efficiency abilities and spatial qualities and the insertion into the construction system has worsened. The review of the roller shutter, from its historical development as an essential element of the evolution of the opening, allows us to rethink these lost complexities and to understand the categorization of our solutions. This research into the roller shutter starts from its first English and French patents, to arriving in Spain through Ramón Múgica’s Inheritors in San Sebastián, and Casas&Bardes in Barcelona with multiple construction solutions integrated into the holes. Their conception at the beginning of the 19th-century differed from the current one both climate and construction requirements and that allows us to analyze, using examples, compliance with their needs and insertion into the opening and to discern what emerging solutions are the most optimal.
