Not only bricks but also mud blocks and heavy stones are represented masonry material. Bricks, mud blocks, stones. Let's find out wha..

The facade is an architectural term that refers to the building's elevation. If you interpret the elevation literally, it is the face of a building, when you're looking at the building horizontally at the front or sides. Ho..

BIFE stands for Basic introduction to facade engineering, literally introducing facade engineering at a very basic level. It is a document made to introduce the field of facade engineering in Korea, where facade engineers do not often participate unless the project is big. As a result, the region is quite unfamiliar even to architecture students or people working in the architecture industry. Cu..
