STRUCTURING ENCLOSURES: OPPORTUNITIES AND APPROACHES TO NEW GEOMETRIES
_Presented by Matt Johnson_Contemporary enclosures take many forms.
Facades, historically, were integral with the building structure. With
industrialization, they evolved into transitional facades where
distinct superstructures existed, but facade and structure were still
integral. In time, curtain walls emerged and structure became distinct
from facade. Over time, the discretization of facade and structure
negatively affected the intelligence of both. Both facade and
structure, despite occupying the same volume in building, fought each
other for space and cost. Today, however, with improved methods of
analysis, fabrication, and material integration, facade and structure
are reintegrating to create high-performing building structures and
enclosures in increasingly more complex geometries. In the future,
transitional facades may, and probably should, be de rigueur.
After attending this SEMINAR, participants will be able to:
* Identify the differences between structured/integral facades and
curtain walls or similar distinct-from-structure facade systems.
* Understand case studies identifying structured facades for both
new construction and recladding.
* Identify computational and parametric design.
* Understand how to integrate facade and structure in contemporary
architecture.
_Participants will earn 1.5 AIA/CES Learning Units (LU/HSW) for their
attendance. Attendance is free and open to all; please invite
colleagues. We will serve refreshments._
