the emergency stairway for this same crèche is made
of steel that has not been protected with intumescent
paint – this is because it is suspended from steel tie
rods that, in traction, are stable when exposed to fire,
and they are attached to fire-resistant concrete. Finally,
in a recent project for air condensers developed for
the American company
spx
Cooling Technology, he did
without the structure all together by using the clusters
of finned tubes as structural elements, resulting in a
threefold reduction in the quantity of steel used
(figure

. This design was the subject of his fourth patent.
