Building Skins Hardback

Edited by Christian Schittich

Description

The external facades of a building are more than a protective mantle, or an intelligent skin regulating temperature and light, they also determine its very appearance.

By unusual choices of materials and the use of complex technology, facades have become increasingly significant in recent years.

External surfaces are being perceived as an integral part of the building and are therefore being designed as such.

This volume focuses on the wide-ranging aspects of facade design, from the selection and use of materials to the advanced technical possibilities now open to the architect.

A wide array of carefully selected international examples show the theory in the practice.

All plans, details, and large scale sections of the facades have been researched with the high degree of competence typical of the editorial staff from the review Detail.

Expert authors provide the essential information needed to plan and design facades and elucidate on the latest developments in technology and materials.
