Over the course of three years, the Insitute of Architecture and Planning at the University of Liechtenstein, the Mackintosh School of Architecture in Glasgow and the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam, examined aspects of the subject of façades across Europe. By analysing different architectural traditions and techniques, and focusing on the materials most widely used in the European context, the international cooperation looked at historical developments in the design and building of façades, the theoretical underpinnings that can explain these developments, as well as common materials and their main characteristics, with the aim to develop new approaches to the construction of façades. Design studios were set up at all three universities to experiment with different techniques, materials and approaches. Crafting the Façade presents the findings of this interdisciplinary study along with the results of the design studios - detailed hand drawings at a scale of 1:10 and life-size prototypes in stone, brick and wood - all of which are reproduced in this richly illustrated volume.

Die Fassade dient als Aushängeschild eines Gebäudes, seine Architektur wird schnell darüber beurteilt. Best of DETAIL: Fassaden liefert theoretische Fachbeiträge und einen ausführlichen Projektbeispielteil, der neben der Darstellung geeigneter Materialien und Konstruktionen Einblicke bis ins Detail gewährt. Dabei zeigt sich, dass qualitätvolle Architektur erst durch eine stimmige Einheit aus Fassade, Tragwerk, innerer Organisation und Gebäudetechnik entstehen kann - Entwurfselementen, die in unmittelbarer Wechselwirkung zueinander stehen. Dies stellt Planer vor enorme Herausforderungen, insbesondere weil diese Einheit aus Außen und Innen keine Selbstverständlichkeit mehr darstellt, denn Materialvielfalt und konstruktive Möglichkeiten setzen heute kaum noch gestalterische Grenzen. Die Publikation bündelt die Highlights zu diesem Thema aus DETAIL und liefert eine Vielzahl an Inspirationen und konstruktiven Lösungsbeispielen für die eigene Praxis. The facade serves as the building's public face, allowing rapid assessment of its architecture. Best of DETAIL: Facades explores this topic with theoretical discussions and an in-depth look at a range of selected projects, which, besides showcasing suitable materials and designs, give the reader a detailed look behind the scenes. It turns out that quality architecture can only result from a coherency between the facade, structure, internal organisation and building services - design elements that interact directly with each other. This presents the architect with enormous challenges, particularly as the unity between the exterior and interior is no longer a given, as today's range of materials and design possibilities offer nearly limitless creativity. The book gathers highlights on this issue from various DETAIL publications, offering abundant inspiration and constructive solutions for the reader's own work.

Facade apertures represent the realm of the exterior wall or facade, which establishes the connection between inside and out and makes it possible to illuminate and ventilate the spaces behind it. This volume deals with the various forms of openings, such as doors, windows, ventilation elements, and fixed glass panes, and their materialization, which also varies according to function; special attention is given to the subject of edges.Themes: Types and positions of openings Technical requirements Construction types Connections/edges Fassadenöffnungen stellen den Bereich der Außenwand bzw. der Fassade dar, über den die Beziehung zwischen Innen und Außen erfolgt und durch den die Belichtung und Belüftung der dahinter liegenden Räume erst ermöglicht wird. In diesem Band werden die unterschiedlichen Formen von Öffnungen, wie Türen, Fenster, Lüftungselemente, Festverglasungen und ihre je nach Funktion auch unterschiedliche Materialisierung behandelt, wobei die Ränder einen wichtigen Betrachtungsausschnitt darstellen.Themen: Arten und Lage von Öffnungen Technische Anforderungen Konstruktionsarten Anschlüsse / Ränder
