| This study examines the potential benefits of Electrophoretic Light Modulator (ELM) on an Amsterdam office's energy and daylight performance using dynamic simulation of a shoebox perimeter zone model.
| In this paper, we will discuss a challenging, iconic, heritage, refurbishment project – Channel 4’s headquarters building located in London, England.
| The organic design and seamlessly reflective surface of “The Henderson” establish it as a landmark in Hong Kong. With its all-glass façade and a height of 210 m, the skyscraper designed by Zaha Hadid Architects offers spectacular panoramic views.
| C-010106 by Sarah Oppenheimer features two structural glass periscopes that offer unique views above and below the footbridge where it is installed.
| This paper describes the design concept and research process of NEERO-Façade, including the development of an integrated façade fixing and the slim substructure design.
| 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.
