From now, we covered the definition of facade, function, why we need facade engineers and workflow of facade engineers. As the purpose of this post was to introduce facade engineering, which is not a well-known job area, we covered the topic in a very shallow manner. Lastly, for those who might have become interested in this area by reading previous posts, I think it will be great to introduce 6..

In previous chapters, we discovered what kind of works that facade engineers do. Moreover, how these works are adapted into the real workflow is also important information understanding the work of facade engineering. So in today's post, we are going to have a look at the workflow of facade engineers that personally organized while working in the facade engineering firm as a junior consultant. N..

(2) 6 representative works 4. Paneling Paneling means dividing the entire facade of a building into units of materials. In addition, the entire surface of the building is divided into the size of which the material can be processed. Simple building shapes can be uncomplicated, but when the geometry of the building becomes complex, the paneling itself becomes a single area of work for the facade ..

(2) 6 representative works 1. Environmental analysis Environmental analysis is the analysis of environmental factors that affect the comfort of the building users. The elements include solar radiation, shadow, vision, etc. Facade engineers analyze how much direct sunlight enters the building or shadows are made by other buildings. As a result of this analysis, a shading system that blocks direct..

(1) The goal So far, we have explored the definition of the facade, its history, and function, also the need for facade engineers who are specialized only in facades. In this chapter, we are going to cover 6 main types of works that facade engineers do. The six jobs include environmental analysis, facade structure calculation, thermal calculation, paneling, detail design, and building maintenanc..

(3) Specialist 1. A large machine or a computer The building is no longer just a space for people's lives and actions. It may be better to think of it as a huge machine or computer with a large number of facilities and equipment in full. It takes a lot of collaboration in subsectors to build these huge computers. 2. Water supply and drainage, and other mechanical facilities The area of facilitie..

(2) Materialization of design There's a huge gap between designing something and actually materializing the design. In the process of materializing thoughts, there are limits of materials and trials and errors that you never thought of. But what if the object that we need to actualize is not a small prop, but a huge building? There will be more trials and errors in proportion to its size, and th..

(1) Function concentrated Why do we need a special field called façade engineering? Façade, directly in contact with the external environment, performs a variety of functions. As functions are concentrated in facades, engineering knowledge from various angles such as the structure and environment is essential. As a result, the facade shows a complex configuration. For instance, the complexity of..

4) Function of the facade summary So far, we've looked at the role of the facade. To summarize, the facade's functions can be divided into two main types. The first was a functional role communicating with the external environment and the second was a design role. Again, the functional role can be divided into two detailed divisions. It was blocking or introducing the external environment. Final..

3) Social context and architect's design intention The facade has a strong relationship with society and also its architectural elements where architects' design intentions are strongly revealed. The facade of the building is open to everyone and social understanding is essential. The facade that doesn't fit in with the surrounding buildings, or that looks ugly to people, is the facade that fail..
