The aim of the paper to apply design thinking to the construction industry via recent case studies. This paper was first presented at GPD 2017 by Olavi Uusitalo from Holmark. Design thinking, first used to make unique products, is now being applied to complex, intangible issues, such as how a...
Glass selection represents one of the core aspects in decision-making process and planning of glass curtain walls for architects, engineers, and clients among others. Wide variety of advanced coatings and surface treatments along with innovative smart glazing technologies such as switchable glazing and solar control...
This paper proposes system concepts and fabrication methods for the use of ultra-thin glass in facades.
Cantilevered laminated glass balustrades supported by bearing in continuous base shoes are among the most ordinary applications of structural glass.
This article is focused on the main advantages of vacuum glass comparing the characteristics such as sound insulation, thermal transmission and anti-condensation with insulated glass based on the application area of vacuum glass.
