1. A aseismatic structure usable as a covering, comprising:

  • horizontal support beams (101

    , 700);

    a plurality of uprights (701, 701), each upright having a base, connected to the horizontal support beams (101

    , 700) at respective interconnection regions between said uprights (701, 701) and the horizontal support beams (101

    , 700);

    telescopic coverings being supported by the uprights and the horizontal support beams, the covering being formed by several sections configured to be inserted into each other in telescopic-like fashion when the telescopic coverings is opened;

    vibration preventing means (306;

    307;

    319) in the interconnection regions between said uprights (701, 701) and the support beams (101

    , 700) and at the bases of the uprights (701, 701), the vibration preventing means configured to allow an oscillation of the structure in all directions; and

    anti-wind means comprised of;

    rotatable structurals (708) configured to open and close apertures (11) in the telescopic coverings in response to strong gusts of wind so that said strong gusts escape from an inner space of the structure; and

    rotation means (310, 311) inserted between a lateral edge of at least one of the telescopic coverings and the lateral structurals configured such that a strong wind will cause a transversal rolling movement of the structure such that the telescopic coverings yield in response to gusts of the wind.
