Building Detailing
Fall 2017

Problem

The purpose of the class is to study different materials and methods available for construction. The task was to research building envelope systems, study two precedents that we will be develop into a design and drawings in order to communicate our chosen system as it applied to a generic multi-story building, and present our solution.

Solution

The building facade system chosen for the term project is by ULMA Architectural Solutions. The product is part of their facade cladding system of ventilated facades as part of their creaktive product range. The ventilated facade system is a coating based system for buildin enclosures that leaves an area of ventilation between the insulation and coating. This type of system according to the manufacturer help to reduce or eliminate thermal bridges that can often cause condensation issues by providing a continuous system. My intention to use the product with a custom 3d texture and implementing an additional tier of massing with extruded panels conveying depth. a blue color palette is desired. Panel sizes are to be 3’ x 2’ and a mix of horizontal and vertical placement.
