| Course Objectives: | This course aims to introduce students to the evolving concept of the building facade, focusing on its transformation through technological advancements and ideological shifts across architectural history. Students will examine the relationship between facade design and construction methods, the impact of material selection, and how facades integrate into the larger building system. By exploring facade performance, sustainability, and emerging technologies, the course provides a foundation for designing innovative, energy-efficient facades in future architectural projects. |
Learning Outcomes
