The stability of monolithic glass fins is reasonably well defined; as an elastic material it behaves in a similar manner to other elastic materials
Glass structural elements have become increasingly common to the point of ubiquity; however, there currently is no universally recognized and
Double Skin Facades (DSF), constructed from individual aluminum framed curtain wall assemblies, provide a means of achieving acoustic and thermal
Responsive facade system is considered a major component of high-performance building envelope that is capable of responding to environmental stimuli
Glass spandrels are a common design strategy utilized to opacify floor levels in building facades. These opaque glass assemblies are integrated into
Facades are increasingly being recognized as a major contributor to whole-building embodied carbon. While designers know how to reduce the embodied
Explosions can result in very high loads of extremely short durations. Protective design to mitigate the effects of blast loading requires façade
The prominence of climatically responsive building facades through the use of kinetics has proliferated in recent years due to a concern for the
California is set to be drier and more drought prone with climate change. Wildfire and the subsequent loss of life and housing is a huge challenge.
