| The aim of this paper is to introduce, in a consistent manner, a holistic appraisal of how to address the refurbishment of modernist buildings of the late 20th century.
| The approaches proposed by planners and architects for adapting to climate change will be discussed at glasstec 2024 (22-25 October, Düsseldorf) at its Architecture Forum.
| The report reflects the close cooperation between architecture, structure engineering and façade development and shows how resources can be saved with cross-disciplinary solution concepts.
| Christoph Timm, Principal at SOM New York, shared insights on decarbonizing the built environment and the evolving landscape of sustainable construction.
| New translucent, structural and modular façade component.
| BIPV represents an important field to explore, since PV systems have an enormous potential within the context of architectural and urban design.
| The trend in modern architecture towards a steady optimisation of building envelopes is continuing. Beside its function as a design element, a façade also contributes to the building’s energy balance.
| A new design approach for loadbearing monolithic glass components of reduced annealing time
| Within this research, two sets of real-scale laminated banister panels with the embedded connection were tested.
| The economy globalizes. The industries concentrate. The productions become uniform. Cultural specificities disappear. About architecture and glass in architecture, it is the same phenomenon.
A Novel, Demountable Structural Glass System Out of Dry-Assembly, Interlocking Cast Glass Components
| Combining transparency with a high compressive strength, glass enables us to make diaphanous load-bearing compressive members, from beams and columns to free-standing facades and entire glass structures.
| Glass can form and shape a space, creating transparent architecture that can make you feel closer to the outside world.
| This poetry in architecture, one of the most advanced structures in the Nordic countries, Oodi Library exalts the very elements of glass, wood and steel that work in balance as a free-standing masterpiece.
| Research deals with the effect of using color in aesthetic taste of architectural interfaces as one of the most important problems affecting the architectural form.
| Unitised Façade System Designed with a Highly Transparent Façade of Low G-value Combined with Blast Requirements
| For years and years research, development and discussions have been made on the safety of glass structures.
| This paper focuses on the geometric optimization of the free-form gridshell towards planar quad glass units.
| In today’s architecture the bending of glass plays an important role in achieving free forms in modern façades.
| Shells made of structural glass are beautiful objects from both the aesthetics and the engineering point of view.
