“A growing complexity of design and building processes require increased specialisation of important areas of architecture. With-in this context, facade planning as an integral part of the overall architectural process, plays a major role. Not only because the fa-cade coins the perception and design of architecture, but also be-cause it needs to fulfill extremely high technological and function-al demands. With its holistic approach, the International Façade Master offers ideal advanced education for individual positioning and future-oriented specialisation within the field of architecture.“

Façades are one of the most technically chal-lenging, complex and multidisciplinary parts of a building. A façade defines not only a build-ing’s appearance and its architectural expres-sion, but also how well it functions. The success of a building is measured in terms of its techni-cal functionality with regard to comfort, safety, pleasant ambience and sustainability. Hereby, façades play an important role and thus, have to fulfill several technical and architectural demands and functions related to a broad range of aspects and engineering disciplines. In view of this fascinating and multidisciplinary context, the Façade Design Program at TU Delft Faculty of Architecture - Department of Building Technology - will teach MSc candidates how to design and develop façade structures on an academic level. Key topics are energy consump-tion and sustainability, typology, materialization, fabrication and assembly of façades.

Façade Research GroupThe education is strongly interconnected with the research and practical applications of the Façade Research Group (part of chair DOC).

Link to practiceDue to the cooperation, knowledge and re-

search exchange with the VMRG (Dutch Façade Builder Association), the KCG (Knowledge Centre of the Dutch façade industry) and several related façade manufacturers (Oskomera Group and Scheldebouw/Permasteelisa), students also benefit from close links with professional practice.

International networkWithin the Façade Design Program the Faculty of Architecture also works with partner universi-ties in Germany (Detmolder Schule für Architek-tur) and Switzerland (Luzerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts). As a student, you can benefit from these international contacts, for example, by participating in international symposia and workshops.

CareersThe Façade Design Program is one of the two specialization areas of the general MSc Build-ing Technology track. MSc graduates in Build-ing Technology with the specialization Façade Design might find a career as either a technical generalist or a façade specialist at architecture or engineering firms, in the façade or supply industry, or project development sectors. You may also choose to start your own business or

Scheme of Msc track Building Technology and Architectural Engineering

The Façade Design Program is one of the two specializations of the MSc Building Technology track at Delft University of Technology. The other specialization is Research & Design, which fo-cuses on materials, climate and sustainability or product development. The Building Technology track, consisting of these two specializations, focuses on the innovative and sustainable design of elements, components and (sub)systems of building structures; on how these relate to each other and to the architecture of the building.

In addition to this track the Department of Build-ing Technology of the TU/ Faculty of Architec-ture also offers the specialization Architectural Engineering. This specialization focuses on architecture and engineering as the inseparably linked basis for building design.

First yearBoth the Building Technology tracks (Façade Design and Research & Development) and the Architectural Engineering specialization share a common base in the first year. During this year a wide range of theory and integrated design components are covered related to different disciplines such as mechanics, product develop-ment, material science, building physics, compu-

tation and modeling and production techniques.

In the first semester, ‘Component & System design’ focuses on system development of a façade in the context of a building design. Students start the design process by developing an innovative concept in the form of a program-matic and visual scenario; they move on to a final design in drawings, quantitative perform-ance studies, and complete the process with virtual and physical prototypes. Quantitative research relates to acoustic, heat transfer and structural performance as input.

In the second semester, ‘Building Design’, stu-dents work on the spatial-functional design of a building in applying building system integration from concept phase on. This is structured as an integrated design process driven by quantita-tive performance evaluations on three aspects: structure, climate and construction.

The first year forms the basis for the specialized in-depth studies of the second year.

Second yearAt the end of the second semester students will have to make their final choice for one of the

three BT specializations: Architectural Engineer-ing, Research & Development or Façade Design.

After this first year, all three specializations will diverge into their own direction. Façade De-sign Program students will follow an in-depth program focused on façades during the 3rd and 4th semester.

The first quarter of the 3rd semester of the Façade Design Program consists of the courses Façade Technology and Future Façade Design.

The course Façade Technology consists of several lectures organized by the Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Civil Engineer-ing & Geosciences of TU Delft and parties from professional practice: the VMRG (Dutch Façade Builder Association), the KCG (Knowledge Centre of the Dutch façade industry) and several related façade manufacturers. Lectures of the course are embedded within several themes:1) Architecture and façades, 2) Construction and detailing of façades, 3) Sustainability, climate and comfort 4) Production and assembly of façades, 5) Materials and facades, 6) Safety aspects of facades and 7) Quality aspects of facades.

Also an (international) symposium and addi-tional workshops are part of this course.

In parallel to the more theoretical course Façade Technology, the course Future Façade Design focuses - by means of a more practical research and design assignment - on a specific and varying research topic, being relevant within the Façade Research Group (part of chair DOC).

The second quarter of 3rd semester consists of preparation work for the graduation project in the 4th semester.

The fourth semester builds on the graduate project preparation, completed in the previous semester. Students work on an individual gradu-ation project, comprising a technical research assignment in an innovative or design research domain. The thesis can be directly related to one of the Façade Research Programmes as organized within the Façade Research Group or to the façade industry by means of a in-compa-ny graduation project.

The Façade Design Program starts twice a year, in the first and third quarter of the academic year respectively.

CHAIR DESIGN OF CONSTRUCTION

The Façade Design Program is organized by the Department of Building Technology of Delft Uni-versity of Technology and related chair Design of Construction (DOC).

About the Chair Design of ConstructionAn essential part of designing buildings is the necessity to translate ideas into structures. That is why a conceptual idea must already capture the final shape of a building as it is perceived by its users.

The chair Design of Construction (DOC) aims at the main features of structural engineering, the application of construction materials and ele-ments as well as the spaces in-between materi-als and elements. Throughout this approach, an analysis of the systematics of structural engineering, its construction principles and its relation with the manufacturing process takes place. During the bachelor and master courses the chair covers topics such as system-building, facade design and special structural principles.

In the field of research the main focal points lie within the area of glass, facade design, system-building as well as the systematic and structural organization of the building profession. By

undertaking research it is the chair’s aim to develop and test the implementation of new and renewed construction methods and material applications.

In addition to a personal engagement of teach-ers and researchers in building projects, the connection between education and research is achieved by a systematic integration of the curriculum within the research projects. In paral-lel to the bachelor, master and thesis projects, individual study groups are also integrated with different parts of the curriculum. Here the results of each research are tested in models in order to reveal potential problems which might occur during a project realisation on a larger scale. This forms a synergy between research and education, representing the main aim of research driven education.

The Chair Design of Construction is lead by Prof. Dr. Ing. Ulrich Knaack.

The DOC-site www.doc.bk.tudelft.nl will give you further information about the chair.

FAÇADE RESEARCH GROUP

Instruction and education is coupled with the current façade research programmes as organ-ized within the Façade Research Group at Delft University of Technology.

About the Façade Research GroupDuring the past decades, façade construction has undergone extensive development. There are several causes; first the architectural devel-opment in general, which is always expressed in the façade appearance. Secondly, a clear trend to more ecological solutions in terms of energy savings. In addition, more respect is paid to user friendliness and climatic performance, and today façades are one of the most important elements of the installation system. Façades represent the interface between the user and his living environment and the outside world.

Construction methods are becoming increas-ingly sophisticated; resulting in system based design methods. Within the Façade Research, we envision the future building being a living interactive body, with the façade as one of the most complex building components.

According to the idea of “research driven de-sign” and “design driven research”, Prof. Dr. Ing.

Ulrich Knaack founded the Façade Research Group at the Chair Design of Construction. The team concentrates on exploring future possibili-ties for the building envelope.

The DOC-site www.doc.bk.tudelft.nl will give you further information about current research programmes.

Conference on Building EnvelopesFaculty of Architecture TU Delft (NL)Thursday 14. May 2009

Just like a fine musical instrument is attuned with the entire orchestra, the performance of the future façade will be tuned in accordance with the entire building. In contrast to facades by Mies van der Rohe, which were exclusively designed by the architect, today’s facades are complex systems. A multitude of people are involved in the very early plan-ning phase, and facades can no longer be considered truly functional without a valid climate concept. But what does that mean in practice? Can conventional methods of execution still be applied? Can the façade be compared with other disciplines, and can we learn from those?
