Abstract

The durability of aluminium is probably one of the most important qualities of this metal when used to form architecture and infrastructure. Charting almost one hundred years of the use of aluminium in architecture and the built environment, based on 50 built works from 1895 to 1986, with four historic exemplars being inspected and presented in depth. Twelve twentieth century award winning and historically significant aluminium based buildings were inspected leading to the successful non-destructive testing of aluminium finishes on three of these projects.
