Abstract

The paper presents a general overview of aluminium based construction from the first half of the 20th century to the present. Since aluminium is rarely used for load- bearing structures the number of aluminium houses are small. The houses are examined in terms of how their structures and building methods relate to aluminium production technology. Due to their construction innovations a lot of aluminium houses have been preserved as museum exhibits.
