A comprehensive guide to structural glass facades for architects, engineers, and builders
Once an experimental building form, structural glass facades have matured into a fully robust technology. Structural Glass Facades and Enclosures documents, defines, and categorizes the current state of the art in long-span glass facade design and construction, with a focus on structural systems, glass cladding options, and implementation strategies for innovative design. A comparative analysis of these various systems is included, along with designs and design practices for enhancing transparency; engineering issues; material, process, and fabrication considerations; installation means and methods; and project delivery strategies for implementing innovative building technology in today's construction marketplace. The reader will find information here that is not available together in any single resource, including:
Structural system types and design options, with integrated glass system options and their application on each of the structural types
An in-depth discussion of design, fabrication, and installation issues relative to each system type, accompanied by illustrations and photographs
A discussion of the challenges of implementing innovative design and technology in the construction industry, and operational practices to improve the probability of success
A series of in-depth case studies documenting representative samples of stunning built works that employ the technology and design principles identified in the book
"Structural Glass Facades and Enclosures" provides expert content for putting cutting-edge technology into real-life practice, creating new potential for fresh applications embracing both aesthetic and performance solutions, and for the adoption of the technology by architects, builders, and facade practitioners.

Fundamentals of Integrated Design for Sustainable Building
Author(s)/Editor(s): Marian Keeler and Bill Burke | Size: 43 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: John Wiley & Sons | Year: 2009 | pages: 360 | ISBN: 0470152931
"Fundamentals of Integrated Design for Sustainable Building" offers an introduction to green building concepts as well as design approaches that reduce and can eventually eliminate the need for fossil fuel use in buildings while also conserving materials, maximizing their efficiency, protecting the indoor air from chemical intrusion, and reducing the introduction of toxic materials into the environment. It represents a necessary road map to the future designers, builders, and planners of a post-carbon world." –from the Foreword by Ed Mazria
A rich sourcebook covering the breadth of environmental building, "Fundamentals of Integrated Design for Sustainable Building" introduces the student and practitioner to the history, theory and technology of green building. Using an active learning approach, the concepts of sustainble architecture are explained and reinforced through design problems, research exercises, study questions, team projects, and discussion topics.
Chapters by specialists in the green movement round out this survey of all the important issues and developments that students and professionals need to know. From history and philosophy to design technologies and practice, this sweeping resource is sure to be referenced until worn out.
