Originally known as The Master Building, 310 Riverside Drive in Manhattan's Upper West Side is a 28-story tower completed in 1929 as an apartment
In recent years, the desire for increased performance, transparency and visual flatness of glazing elements in curtain walls has generated renewed
Concerns over time-dependent argon permeation through the perimeter edge seals of insulating glass units (IGUs) led the authors to utilize two
Currently, most spandrel glass in commercial curtain walls comprises insulating glass fabricated using an interior heat strengthened glass lite that
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the building sector is critical to limiting global temperature rise to less than 1.5⁰C. Construction and
There were good why reasons early US Modernism first evolved in California– wide open sites with no constraints (physical or zoning), and effectively
The use of bidirectional scattering distribution function incorporated in a transient systems simulation program, allows engineers to accurately
Curtain wall design commonly uses insulating glass units for vision and spandrel glazing to provide better visual harmonization of building facade
Glass is a key component in building design. Benefits of utilizing Insulating Glass Units (IGUs) within a building facade are well understood,
Laminated glass with standard PVB has long been used for safety and security due to its ability to adhere the broken glass fragments together. As the
