Zidăria americană în perioada interbelică și îmbunătățirea performanței energetice a clădirilor moderniste
American masonry in the interwar period and improvement of energetic performance of modernist buildings

Summary/Abstract: Rehabilitation of interwar buildings is a challenge both structurally and in terms of finishes and energy efficiency. Interwar architecture, the modernist built fund represents a significant percentage of the existing built fund. The lack of consolidation and rehabilitation interventions in the last 20 years offers the opportunity for such projects to appear. The specialized technical literature on construction solutions and finishes specific to that period is limited, with emphasis on using the traditional materials and techniques or the import of some techniques by means of Italian craftsmen. This article explores a construction technique less known today but quite popular in the interwar period – American masonry.
