Mastering Stick-System Façade Details

This module introduces the concept of façade details and their purpose. It covers common façade detail systems in aluminum, steel, and wood. The module includes a practical example of developing a grid layout for a façade opening, illustrating the decision-making process.

This module focuses on evaluating how the proposed grid layout impacts material choice, construction tolerances, and movement allowances. It covers the selection of standard details to explain the system and interface details defining the boundary between the stick system and its surroundings.

This module guides learners through the process of developing standard details through hand-sketching sessions. It covers general stick-system detailing and three different connection details of the stick system to the wall.

This module focuses on developing details for a typical door in a stick system. Learners will critically assess the completeness of the details in the design, enhancing their ability to create comprehensive façade designs.

This module involves the assessment of façade details from the perspectives of structural design, building physics, and construction engineering. Learners will integrate feedback from these disciplines into a new sketch of the final set of details.

This final module covers the process of bringing the developed façade and its details to life. It includes discussions on system alternatives, common mistakes, preparing for the tendering process, shop drawings, and on-site construction limitations.
