Rethinking Building Skins: Transformative Technologies and Research Trajectories

Rethinking Building Skins: Transformative Technologies and Research Trajectories details the latest research, trends and solutions in the field. it is designed to guide the reader in translating research into practice, including guidance on the main regulations and available best practices that will help researchers and practitioners gain an overview of the most important literature. Sections define the performance requirements for a facade, discuss available solutions and performance criteria, and cover building regulation constraints, all with the help of case studies. In addition, users will find content on the advantages and disadvantages of current solutions, along with implementation and innovation tactics.

The book then considers various research trajectories with a clear reference to methods, findings, and impacts on practice. It also includes interviews with key figures in the field. This title offers a clear, objective, evidence-based view of the state-of-the-art in facade engineering.
