The webinar recording, featuring practical project examples throughout, will:
- Highlight the differences between primary structural engineering practice and facade engineering
- Discuss design workflows, design strategies, envelope performance and procurement which might influence aspects of structural design of building envelope
- Introduce some typical materials (glass, metal alloys, ceramics, stone, precast etc.) followed by discussion and guidance
- Focus on future materials and new trends in contemporary building envelopes, considering climate emergency, digital design and manufacturing advances
Gain an understanding of:
- design principles, performance criteria with references to relevant guidance
- material palette used in contemporary facades
- structural principles and behaviour of façade systems and components
