The book examines the typological and technological constitution of the principal advanced facade systems in the contemporary design and experimental scenario, proposing itself as a knowledge and operational tool currently lacking in the technical literature of the sector at an international level. It considers the field of advanced facade systems in a scientific way, constituting a support for the study and the executive design. The book investigates in detail, in an analytical form, the constitution of the components on a typological and geometrical, functional and constructive level, on the basis of the documents and knowledges acquired from the essential contemporary production and construction references. At the same time, the book is configured in a handbook form as a reference for understanding and application with respect to traditional and complex facade systems. For each main type of facade, the book provides explanations and scientific information for investigating and designing the advanced facades according to the characteristics of the mullions and transoms facade system (stick system), of the structural sealant glazing facade system, of the unit facade system, of the suspended facade system and of the double-skin facade system.
