Abstract

The current model is confined to multi‐storey concrete framed office buildings with particular types of foundations and roof and choices within the building envelope, but it has the potential for further development to include wider choice. The flexibility provided by Leonardo will allow, claim the authors, a staged development without affecting the structure of the model.

Le modèle actuel est limité aux immeubles de bureaux à étages, à ossature béton, dotés de certains types de fondations, de toitures et d'éléments d'enveloppe. Mais il présente un intéressant potentiel de développement pour la prise en compte de choix beaucoup plus variés. Les auteurs estiment que la souplesse d'exploitation inhérente au Leonardo permettre un développement phasé sans atteinte à la structure même du modèle.
