View Course →A façade is the external face and envelope of a building. It may be glazing, brick, cladding or a combination of systems, and it does far more than shape appearance. It helps protect interior spaces from weather, manages heat, air, water, acoustics and fire, and must connect safely to the structure.
Façade engineering brings design, materials, performance and construction together so these demands work as part of the wider building. Explore the discipline, the people behind it and the functions every façade must fulfil.
The Façade Engineering Industry creates work across design, engineering, manufacturing, testing, installation, inspection and remediation.
