Master the standard details of a stick-system façade and learn to apply them in façade engineering design.
This course provides an in-depth exploration of façade detailing, with a focus on a stick façade system. You will learn how to choose the system, the material and the connection between the façade and the building in the design process.
Understand the detailing process as the individual technical design development of an engineer, composing various technical solutions to fulfill various functions of façades.
In the course, you will:
From design and detailing to feedback integration and implementation: explore the world of stick-system façades.
The course is led by experts from TU Delft, TU Darmstadt and Eurac Research. In addition to virtual visits, the course offers a peek behind-the-scenes at how circular design principles are applied in manufacturing and architectural firms.
Prof. Dr. Ing. at Delft University of Technology
Ulrich Knaack is professor for Design of Construction at the Delft University of Technology Faculty of Architecture, Netherlands where he developed the Façade Research Group. In parallel, he is also a professor for Façade Technology at the TU Darmstadt Faculty of Civil Engineering in Germany where he participates in the Institute of Structural Mechanics and Design.
Associate professor at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at Delft University of Technology
Marcel Bilow is associate professor at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at Delft University of Technology, where he is the head of the Bucky Lab. The Bucky Lab at TU Delft combines architecture and building technology to design innovative and sustainable building products.
