FAÇADE DETAILING IN PRACTICE
Explore isolated drawing extracts from previous project work, selected as teaching illustrations for façade detailing and interface coordination.
Project names, title blocks, drawing references and building layouts are excluded to respect confidentiality. These are representative illustrations, not construction-ready details.
Curtain-wall mullion
A local section showing the relationship between aluminium profiles, glazing and seals. It illustrates the coordination needed at a curtain-wall mullion.
Learning prompt
Identify the profiles, glazing and seals. Which components must accommodate movement, and where should the designer check continuity?

Unitised curtain-wall junction
A junction extract showing how adjacent glazing and aluminium components meet. Such details support discussion of movement, joint continuity and fabrication coordination.
Learning prompt
Trace the glazing and gasket interfaces. What tolerances, movement provisions and assembly constraints need coordination?

Glazing and cladding interface
An interface extract showing how glazing, cladding, insulation and the supporting construction meet. It illustrates the need to coordinate weathering layers and material transitions.
Learning prompt
Trace the material transitions and weathering layers. How would you check continuity at the junction between glazing and cladding?
