Over centuries, stone façade systems have adapted to new architectural and construction trends. The appearance of the ventilated façade system was a remarkable progress, introducing numerous hygrothermal, environmental and constructional advantages. Applied to this system, natural stone provides good physical and mechanical performance, as well as exceptional aesthetic qualities and integration with the environment thanks to the use of colour, textures and joints.The research approaches the study of ventilated natural stone façades from the perspective of the bidirectional link between architectural design and constructive technique. It is hypothesised that they have numerous formal possibilities and the capacity to materialise complex architectural designs through constructive design. The use of industrialised systems usually implies the use of conventional and serialised comments. In contrast to this idea, the research proposes that the anchoring system has technical and configurative capacities to adapt to the project idea, allowing the architect to explore the possibilities of the material and define the project.The thesis is structured in several chapters developed along the proposed methodological line, based on prior knowledge of the material and the system. Firstly, the formal and constructive conditioning factors of stone are studied. These are fundamental aspects for the project as it is a natural and heterogeneous material. Secondly, the behaviour of the construction system in general and of the anchoring subsystem in particular are analysed. Once this knowledge has been internalised, design strategies are proposed for the configuration and definition of the project, depending on the comments, the building typology and the resolution of singular points. Finally, this information is synthesised as a proposal for a methodology focused on the designer, based on the constructive and formal criteria involved. The research aims to defend the architectural interest of natural stone applied to the ventilated façade and the architect's ability to interpret the system. It is a suitable solution in many locations and typologies due to its good construction and energy performance, its aesthetic possibilities and its ability to evolve from technological, stylistic and sustainable points of view.
