Building Envelopes: An Integrated Approach
Far from being just a simple outer wall or decorative element, a building's envelope determines its climate control, degree of energy performance, and relationship to context. There is an urgent need for architects and allied professionals to gain a greater understanding of how materials and technologies can be applied to building envelope design to meet both aesthetic and performance requirements.
Building Envelopes, the newest volume in our Architecture Briefs series, is a process-based toolkit that advocates designing building envelopes in an integrated way, where appearance, use, context, energy performance, structure, and cost are inseparable and considered together. Featuring clearly written texts, original diagrams and sketches, and striking photographs, Building Envelopes illustrates how these elements can be combined to create cost and energy-effective, yet aesthetically pleasing, enclosures.
