A Model for Technological Design of The Façade Claddings with Low Thickness Stone Elements

In the last twenty years, we assist to a total transformation of the façades cladding technology with low thickness stone elements. The old conception of the “anchorage component” is exceeded and approach us a new production of systems and accessories for the connection of stone elements with a high degree of performances. In the field of the building façades cladding, using low thickness stone slabs, it is being developed the art of connections. This paper summarizes a research experience in which we focused a methodological model for the technological design of the façades cladding, using low thickness stone elements.
