  • Technology for Making Glass Envelopes for Building Reconstruction

    The paper discusses the contemporary technologies for making glass envelopes by way of planar glazing as part of reconstruction of buildings and facilities. It is highlighted that polyvalent multi-layer external walls are considered by many scientists as a mechanism for improving energy efficiency of façade systems. Based on the analysis of the research literature, the authors also note that spider glazing is optimal for two-layered glass envelopes, as it is suitable for use as part of reconstruction of frame and frameless buildings. Adaptive façade systems are suggested to be arranged with the use of brackets having a telescopic glass holder.

  • Modern glass units for making translucent enclosing structures

    The subject matter of this paper is glass units as an element of glazing of modern translucent façades. The paper reviews the main characteristics of single-pane and double-pane glass units and the specific features of frames made of various materials. It also discusses innovative materials which can be used for manufacturing frames. It was found that, despite the increasingly broad use of spider glazing in place of structural glazing, the structural technology, in combination with glass units, is entering a new stage of development and is set to remain as part of the modern architecture for a long time ahead.
