There is a growing awareness and interest in understanding the carbon footprint of material manufacturing, opening doors to new opportunities in facade design and manufacturing innovation. There are steps and decisions we can make today to help fight climate change.
As global temperatures continue to rise, researchers are examining the building envelope’s impact on climate-specific guidelines to create a more sustainable built environment.
The impacts of climate change, driven by increasing extreme temperature, sea-level rise, and heavy precipitations, interact and play an essential
There have been 26 Conferences on Climate Change sponsored by the United Nations. The most recent conference, COP 26, was held in 2021 in Glasgow, Scotland. With 200 countries in attendance, all eyes were set on achieving the goal of limiting the rise in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Drawdown is an inspiring new effort to manage atmospheric carbon and the resulting climate impacts. This brief reveiw discusses the book, the movement, and the potential.
A’21 brings together leaders in architecture and beyond for a four-day, immersive digital experience that defines the year ahead. It’s the architecture and design event of the year!
Inspired by the President’s Climate Action Plan and Architecture 2030 Challenge, Metals in Construction magazine and the OMINY tapped designers in late 2015 to create an eco‐friendly, highly transparent enclosure that preserves the aesthetic integrity of 200 Park Ave.
Responsive shading systems can dynamically improve indoor environmental conditions based on outdoor climate variations. Among the technologies,

To avoid the worst effects of the climate crisis, we urgently need to reduce carbon emissions now. But that's not enough! This original article for SKINS by Drew Shula is a veritable manifesto on the why and how of climate action for all of us.
Today’s building enclosures face ever greater demands regarding their thermal performance. In cold climates, the required total U-value of the façade
The global increase in atmospheric temperature rise combined with the rapid growth of previously underdeveloped climate zones presents a growing need
