Design of glass facades

Design of glass facades

Everyone knows that the facade is not just the “face of the building”, it is also a very important functional element of any modern building. Even in the old days, people paid special attention to the exterior decoration of the building, the time has changed, technology also, but in general it can be said that this trend is still relevant today. Actually, therefore, the design of glass facades is an important part of the project of the entire building. Thanks to CAD, it became possible to determine the number of metal profiles and, at the same time, set the parameters necessary for a particular object. Thus, the process of direct design has already been launched during picking. This has a positive effect on the time of work, and, consequently, on the cost. The main package of technical documentation is often created on the basis of the measurements already taken and can be supplemented and partially changed in parallel with the progress of the project. Designing glass facades is a creative process, therefore, in the course of the meeting, all architectural and aesthetic wishes of the building owner are taken into account, including graphic sketches, photographs from the Internet, and even freehand sketches ... In general, everything that can help achieve the desired result and make a dialogue between the customer and performer as constructive as possible. Upon completion of the design work, all issues are carefully worked out and agreed with the customer and subsequently can no longer be changed, with the exception, perhaps, of force majeure situations. Here is a sample list of requirements for a glass facade, which should be paid attention to at the design stage
