The recent Forum— Outside the Lines: Building Facades Redefine Urban Living in NYC —hosted by the Ornamental Metals Institute of New York was a rousing event that featured what is certainly among the best speaker programs ever organized by the Facade Tectonics Institute.
This paper, written by a team at the Technical University at Darmstadt, uses examples of 3D printed structural glass, reinforced thin-sheet façade panels, and nesting bricks that can be integrated directly into facades to support work successful industrial applications.
Navigating the building code, while challenging in any respect, can be even trickier when considering the use of emerging materials on building
