Executive Design of the Facade Systems : Typologies and Technologies of the Advanced Building Envelopes Paperback / softback

Part of the PoliMI SpringerBriefs series

Paperback / softback

Description

The book examines the typological and technological constitution of the principal advanced façade systems in the contemporary design and experimental scenario, proposing itself as a knowledge and operational tool currently lacking in the technical literature of the sector at an international level.

It considers the field of advanced façade systems in a scientific way, constituting a support for the study and the executive design.

The book investigates in detail, in an analytical form, the constitution of the components on a typological and geometrical, functional and constructive level, on the basis of the documents and knowledges acquired from the essential contemporary production and construction references.

At the same time, the book is configured in a handbook form as a reference for understanding and application with respect to traditional and complex façade systems.

For each main type of façade, the book provides explanations and scientific information for investigating and designing the advanced façades according to the characteristics of the mullions and transoms façade system (stick system), of the structural sealant glazing façade system, of the unit façade system, of the suspended façade system and of the double-skin façade system.
