WO2008131783A1 - Advertising displays for building facades - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to the cladding of buildings and facades for communication projects and advertising and artistic projects, for example to display brands on building facades using several pieces of printed canvas. There are methods of cladding which cover a small part of the building. It is an object of the invention to provide an advertising medium of potentially unlimited dimensions using building facades or any support. The arrangement of the various pieces of canvas or other materials on these facades makes it possible to display graphics, designs, patterns and images visible to distances of 20 km or more.

Description

 ADVERTISING POSTERS FOR BUILDING FACADES

Technical field to which the invention relates

The present invention relates to the cladding of buildings and facades for communication projects and advertising and artistic projects, for example to make appear with the help of several pieces of printed tarpaulins marks on the facades of buildings. There are dressing processes that cover a small part of the building.

Purpose of the invention

The object of the invention is to produce an advertising medium which can be unlimited in size by serving as building facades or any supports. The arrangement of different pieces of tarpaulins or other materials on these facades allows us to display visuals, drawings, patterns, images visible 20 km, see more.

State of the art

There are glazed spaces of ^buildings' dressed, their visibilities are reduced because it only covers a small part. As it is difficult to make panels 40 m high and 160 m long, dressing an entire building allows visibility over more than 20 km. The bigger the building, the greater the visibility, it is possible to combine several buildings so that the range is more interesting.

Statement of Figures

To better understand the invention we have the following description with reference to the schematic drawing, showing, by way of non-limiting examples, several possible embodiments of this method: Fig. 1: represents an example of a layout of a printed tarpaulin containing an advertising visual on the facade of a building.

Fig. 2: represents an example of arrangement of pieces of tarpaulins and one way vision (the sight of only one side) to make appear the word "Fair-play" on the facade of a building.

Fig. 3: represents an example of arrangement of pieces of plexi and metal to bring up the word "Fair play" on the facade of a building.

Presentation of the essence (the substance) of the invention and its embodiment

In the example shown in FIG. 1, there is a printed tarpaulin containing an advertising display on one of the faces of a building, it is possible to replace the giant tarpaulin by pieces of stickers or other materials (polyester, sheer, metal, PVC, alloys, plexiglass, signs, silkscreen materials, hollowed materials, others, ... of different colors and cuttings by fixing them in several ways.

By affixing a giant photo on a building 40 meters high and 160 m long we have visibility over 20 km.

The assembly of materials of different nature allows us to increase the possibilities of visual effects and to offer a better visibility of the massages and the displayed images, for example: if we assemble paper masts and shiny paper on the same facade we we get visible parts (paper mast) and dazzling parts (glossy paper) because at specific angles the daylight is reflected by some parts of the glossy paper. We can also assemble one-way vision and polyester (see Fig. 2), one way vision is a material used to decorate glazed parts of buildings without obscuring the different rooms thanks to small perforations that let in the light beams. The combination of the two materials allows us to exploit almost the entire surface of the building.

Other combinations are possible by assembling plexi and metal (see Fig. 3) to form logos or messages on the facades of buildings, this process is useful for changing the exterior architecture of buildings and for obtaining letters or volume illustrations, but it is best to use them for long-term fixings.
