Description

This seminar looks at the evolving capability of architects to design, develop, and produce façade systems for highly specific applications as they apply to the envelope and its relation to the primary structure of the building . The course explores new materials, as well as the integral manner in which building envelope systems and structures are produced—from design idea to fabrication and erection—to precisely fit designers’ specifications and to provide optimized performance.
