This webinar will profile three custom home renovation projects and the challenges and opportunities faced by designers. Presenters will talk about the constraints on each project, whether due to site challenges or historic preservation requirements, and their approach to not only meeting the challenges but also forging new opportunities. In all cases, the projects highlight how designers can meet client wants and needs while creating unique and innovative spaces that will stand the test of time.
“God is in the details”, one of several iconic phrases from Mies van der Rohe, which continues to haunt architects. Details are where architects can and do make a difference and with today’s focus on green materials detailing needs to meet both an architectural design aesthetic and sustainability requirements.

The process of integrating exterior and interior features often begins with a desire to both physically enhance the occupant experience inside the built environment while also addressing energy efficiency and sustainability goals. Integrating a building into the landscape allows architects to design for the environment and lowers a building’s ecological footprint.
Across the architecture and engineering industry, one constant sits at the heart of every firm: projects. Because projects play such a pivotal role in this industry, BST Global decided to take a deep dive into the current state of the project lifecycle for AEC, surveying executives from leading consultancies on their current project and resource management practices.

There is an increasing need for a structure, display, enclosure, or interactive space that can be temporary, flexible, and adaptable for different people, uses, or times. This temporary architecture, sometimes referred to as "pop-up architecture," allows for great creativity and potential time and cost savings during the construction process. This webinar will look at some ways pop-up architecture has been developed, used, and admired around the world.

Designing control barriers to manage bulk water, air, thermal bridging and vapor in building enclosures is only the beginning to an effective exterior. While straightforward along flat, continuous surfaces, it is the non-continuous conditions, including transitions, penetrations and interruptions that present design and construction complexity to maintain effective barrier performance.

When challenges arise due to deterioration of the glazing system, it is important to understand what your options are. You want to be mindful of the original design intent, restore performance and extend the life of the system. This may include a variety of approaches – ranging from wet sealing the existing assembly to extruded silicone overlays to complete removal and replacement of the existing glazing system – but all built around developing a comprehensive restoration solution.
