Construction Details

As an architect, the development of construction details is imperative to clearly communicate the design intent for construction. These drawings serve as a basis of design for contractors and builders to understand how the building exterior assembly is working and ensure there are no detrimental leakages, or issues in the building’s future. This week focused on the analysis of the physical properties of the construction. The heat flow, air tightness and moisture control will be introduced. By the end of the week you should be familiar with building envelope strategies and how to start designing and thinking about wall assemblies and details.
