The pathway to carbon-neutrality, as urged during the COP 21 in Paris, and the repeated goal for resilient buildings and urban habitats, winds right
A Catmull-Clark algorithm (used in 3D computer graphics for smoothing polygon surfaces) was used to create a unique design for an over 208ft by 30ft
<p>Resiliency is the capacity of a building (or building component in the case of the facade) to support building functionalities during extreme…
Our upcoming FTI Student Forum explores the intersection of Facades, Carbon, and Circularity. In a fast paced spitfire format, architecture students present their recent work and research.
This paper discusses façade resilience and presents a novel qualitative evaluation framework that assesses potential risks associated with façade design and suggests way of reducing such design risk in a climate change scenario. Authors Fabio Favoino, Adèle Chalumeau, and Audrey Aquaronne.
Special guests Gail Napell AIA LEED AP BD+C and Rives T. Taylor FAIA, LEED Fellow of Gensler join us to address engineering and design considerations for new construction, as well as the need for adaptability of existing buildings. This episode is co-hosted by Mic Patterson and Ted Kesik.
Facade failure due to seismic event represents a potential hazard to people and can cause serious damages to buildings with consequent high-cost
.FTI's 2019 NYC Forum was an intimate, provocative and forward-looking dialogue with thought leaders from all sectors of the building industry; owners, architects, consultants, contractors and more.
Today’s environmental challenges highlight the necessity of a holistic approach to façade design and construction, key to achieve the ambitious 2030
As the building stock ages around the country and the consequences of design and/or construction that are deficient or lack resiliency become
