Written for engineering and design students, this volume discusses the role of the facade in newer architectural styles and emphasizes the latest materials and green principles that are being included in the "building envelope." Editors Knaack (design of construction, Delft U. of Technology) and Klein (leader, facades research, Delft U. of Technology) have enlisted experts in the fields of architecture, structural and climate design, material science, construction and product development and planning to discuss design implementation of all types of building facades. Topics include weight and volume reduction, cost control, sustainability and innovations in the aviation industry that can be applied to facade research.
