Double-Skin Facades (DSF) are well-known to boost the thermal performance of a façade: they can provide extra insulation in the wintertime and lower
This article discusses design, prototype development and a simulation study of novel types of facade systems, which integrate thermoelectric (TE)
There were good why reasons early US Modernism first evolved in California– wide open sites with no constraints (physical or zoning), and effectively
Wind induced pressure is a major design consideration for building facades. However, the effects of facade geometry and urban terrain on wind loading
Contemporary building practice represents a disconnect between traditional manufacturing techniques, that favor straight runs and orthogonal
The subject of this case study is the design and construction of a custom corrugated-geometry facade featuring pre-patinated copper and glass for an
The Los Angeles Stadium’s doubly curved skin is composed of over 35,000 unique triangular panels covering 296,502 square feet of surface area. The
This abstract proposes that architectural facade design over the last 60 years has convulsed in light of two disruptions: air spaces which create
Wearables protect us from climatic conditions, they provide privacy, comfort and they also reflect our style and personality. Building facades in the
<p>Glass structural elements have become increasingly common to the point of ubiquity; however, there currently is no universally recognized and…
Finishing of custom-fabricated architectural façade components represents one of the most significant components to their cost. Manually driven
Construction projects almost invariably encounter a critical stage at the moment of handover between the designing and the executing party. At this
Designing a multi-functional building envelope as an architectural façade, environmental interface and solar collector is a multi-objective
Change happens, for better or for worse, to all living and physical matter. In order to thrive and achieve longevity, we constantly need to adapt to
Precision in digital workflow is necessary to deliver facade projects where there is a high design aesthetic or structural performance requirement.
Traditional approach for engineering the facade is building an isolated analysis model. However, it inhibits a dynamic design process where
Facade design is a key component of architectural expression, and increasingly a key design consideration due to growing importance of factors like:
The wonder of nature is the abundance of unique forms she creates based on a few simple physical principles or laws. No two snowflakes are alike.
This paper tells the story of a Double Skin Facade (DSF), where high performance and multi-disciplinary collaboration saves a library concept of
