We are thrilled to announce that our team will be attending and presenting at the prestigious Challenging Glass Conference at Delft University of Technology on June 18-19, 2024! Our paper, titled "Review of Methods to Determine Optical Distortion in Architectural Glass and How to Evaluate and Measure It," delves into the challenges of optical distortions in architectural glass. It thoroughly examines current assessment methods and proposes further research to better understand the underlying causes of various optical phenomena. This research is a testament to our commitment to advancing the field of facade engineering and improving the quality of architectural glass in the marketplace. We look forward to engaging with fellow experts, sharing our insights, and exploring the latest advancements in glass engineering. If you're attending the conference, we'd love to connect and discuss how our findings can contribute to the industry. Stay tuned for updates and insights from the conference! https://lnkd.in/geqwbsBK #ChallengingGlass2024 #EngineeringInnovation #ArchitecturalGlass #OpticalDistortion #ResearchAndDevelopment #DelftUniversityOfTechnology #EngineeringExcellence #ConferencePresentation #ArchitecturalGlass

🌟 Day 2 of the Challenging Glass Conference at the Delft University of Technology! 🌟 Today, our founder, Dr. Thomas Henriksen, presented a compelling synopsis of our paper titled "Optical Distortions in Architectural Glass: Review of Categorization, Evaluation and Measurement Methods." Dr. Henriksen's presentation shed light on the complexities of optical distortion in multi-layer architectural glass, such as insulated glass units, which typically comprise combinations of heat-treated and laminated glass. The paper provided a review of 8 types of optical distortion found in practice on projects, together with the findings from preliminary laboratory tests carried by Delft University of Technology. In conclusion, there is a need to carry out further research to better understand the causes behind the different optical phenomena and to develop new methods to objectively assess their effects on the aesthetic quality of architectural glass. We're proud to contribute to the advancement of architectural glass technology and to be part of this prestigious conference. #ArchitecturalGlass #OpticalDistortions #EngineeringInnovation #ResearchAndDevelopment #FacadeEngineering #ChallengingGlassConference #Conference Stay tuned for more updates from the conference and our ongoing projects!

#ICYMI: Robotics Institute researcher, Aryan R. Rad, collaborated with architecture colleagues to launch Robot Made 2024 — a design build course that provided #engineering and #architecture students with hands-on experience designing and constructing mass timber structures using digital fabrication techniques. Watch the students' project come to life in the video below 🤖 ⬇ #robotics #roboticsresearch #uoftrobotics
🚨 Pushing the limits of timber design and digital fabrication! 🌟 🤖 Witness the power of digital fabrication come to life! 🌲 Earlier this summer, AnnaLisa Meyboom from UBC School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Nicholas Hoban from University of Toronto - John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, and I from the Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering, University of Toronto launched Robot Made 2024, a groundbreaking Design Build course. This program merged research with hands-on learning, training University of Toronto’s #Engineering and #Architecture students in an exhilarating journey from #computational_design to real-world construction. Using parametric robot control and computational methods for both geometry processing and simulation-based science in #structural_engineering, participants designed and built a full-scale timber pavilion, pushing the limits of design for manufacturing and assembly. We used #COMPAS, an open-source computational framework for research, collaboration, and development across Architecture, Engineering, Fabrication, and Construction, primarily developed at Swiss NCCR Digital Fabrication. Our methods, algorithms, tools, and findings are available here: https://compas.dev/#/ #DigitalFabrication #Timber #Sustainablity #ArchitectureMeetsEngineering University of Toronto Engineering

🎓 PhD Defence Timon Peters “Thin Glass – Testing for Architectural Glass Application” 🎓 Thin glass is widely used in many industries, but it is still uncommon in architecture 🏗 . The reason for this is our limited understanding of their long-term structural capabilities, the lack of reliable testing methods tailored to construction applications and due to the complex handling process of large thin glasses. The PhD thesis, which was successfully defended in Spring 2024 at Glass Competence Center - GCC, proposes a coherent testing approach designed for quick and straightforward assessment procedures 📃 . This method can serve as a fundamental framework for the development of code systems. We are looking forward to the upcoming publication of the dissertation book! #glass #xchange #gcc

Innovative concepts could be applied in real life , to ?
Experienced Structural, Civil & Geo Engineering Lead | Senior Project Manager | Innovator in Earthquake-Resistant Design & Construction
The concept showcased here is a fascinating display of "tensegrity" — a portmanteau of 'tensional integrity.' Tensegrity structures maintain their stability by a balance between tension and compression components. The marvel of this kind of architecture is that it creates a stable form with components that do not touch each other in a conventional supportive way, defying the common perceptions of structure and form. The ability to sustain weights, as seen with the plant, depends on the precise balance of forces. It's a powerful metaphor for the delicate balance of forces in various systems, whether in architecture, biology, or social dynamics. Such innovative designs can revolutionize the way we think about building and balancing structures, leading to more efficient use of materials and space. It is for education only.

If you can measure it, you can improve it. In this paper in Glass Structures & Engineering - Springer, Alessandra Luna Navarro and colleagues from ReStruct Group | TU Delft and the Architectural Facades & Products Group at Delft University of Technology show how to assess human perception of glazing deflections. The thickness of glass in facades is often governed by this serviceability limit. So measuring the perceived deflection is an essential step for reducing the thickness (and embodied carbon) of glazed facades. Initial results indicate that humans are mostly sensitive to reflections in the deformed glazing and that the current serviceability limits could potentially be relaxed.

Last week, I presented my work on #nanocellulose films at the Future of Construction 2024 Symposium in Mendrisio. I was eager to see how my work, which focuses on optical and nanostructured materials, would be received by the architectural and building engineering community. For that presentation, I picked one specific finding—the near-infrared reflectance that has the potential to be used for building cooling. Most of the questions I got were, "Why did you go from architecture to materials science?" My answer is simple: architects and structural engineers need to design their own materials if they want new building functionalities and performance. And for that, we need to go back to material fundamentals.

Can you pass the post-lecture test on the first attempt? Here are the highlights from the talk presented by Eugene Korch at the University of East London. The lecture recording can be found on the Institute for Architectural Science and Technology (IAST) website. Interestingly, most of the people registering for this free talk online are not students. Why? This short lecture touches on some very important topics: · Basic Principles of Fire Safety in Facades · Acoustics · Movement and Tolerances · Access for Construction The lecture is designed for Bachelor students in Architecture and Architectural Technology. If you are interested in more advanced learning materials, check out the Applied Facade Engineering Course (AFE) and Case Studies. At the IAST, we focus on delivering applicable knowledge in engineering, architectural technology, and building physics.
