Curved stained-glass facades of buildings: problems and solutions
Incoming article date: 05.12.2021This article is devoted to the actual problem of using curvilinear. stained glass facades of buildings in a modern urban environment. Stained glass glazing of radial facades of buildings is one of the characteristic elements of modern architecture due to significant advantages, such as reducing wind and climatic load on the building, environmental friendliness, energy efficiency, improving microclimate parameters, increasing artistic and compositional attractiveness, etc. The article considers a set of tasks, the solution of which will allow eliminating the negative consequences of the use of curved translucent structures in the outer shell of the building by taking maximum account of technological climatic, physical and aesthetic factors in the design of modern glazing systems for high-rise buildings with curved facades.
Keywords: translucent enclosing structures, radius facades, climatic load, high-rise buildings, glass unit lensing, focusing, urban environment, energy saving, environmental friendliness
