Understanding Facade Between Design And Manufacturing

"Understanding Facade Between Design And Manufacturing" is a specialized book that explores the development and impact of facade design and manufacturing on architecture. Since the Industrial Revolution, new materials and technologies have revolutionized facade design, particularly through the use of glass and metal. These changes have not only enhanced the physical autonomy of the outer shell but also its role as a medium for expressing architectural concepts and advertising. Despite the far-reaching effects of these developments on our built environment, there is little academic literature on this topic. The book examines how facade design is separated from architecture by technological advancements and design intentions, and analyzes the facade design of high-rise office buildings in the Levent-Maslak area of Istanbul, as well as the working methods and marketing strategies of facade manufacturing companies. This analysis provides valuable insights into the facade design process and is aimed at professionals in the fields of architecture and manufacturing, as well as anyone interested in the changes in our physical environment.
