In 1871, a fourth level Architecture course was offered in New York City that instructed on topics such as heating, ventilation and circulation of
At the core of facade design is the concept of interdisciplinarity, a bridge between concept and materialization apt to relay a built form
Buildings account for over 40% of global emissions (GlobalABC, 2018). Growing populations and higher standards of living are increasing pressure on
While most of high-rise buildings feature a core surrounded by a spatial frame defining the volume, one could envision a column-free plan where the
The building envelope is at the intersection of embodied and operational emissions. Curtain wall specifically could play an important role in
Developments in performative computational analysis, mass customization, and complex form manipulation revolutionized building envelope design
Life cycle assessment was introduced in the 1970s as an analytical tool to quantify the environmental impact of a product, process, or service.
This paper documents a six year academia/industry collaboration between researchers at the Department of Architecture, University at Buffalo (SUNY)
The conventional approach to specifying dimensional tolerances in architecture and construction is inadequate in the theater of premanufacturing
