On-Demand Webinar: Skyscraper Design - Envelopes of the Future.
Explore the architectural evolution of high-rise buildings in our on-demand webinar, "Skyscraper Design: Envelopes of the Future." This session dives into how modern skyscrapers not only respond to their environments but also push the boundaries of design through innovative materials and community-focused planning.
Speaker: Tim Gledstone, partner, Squire & Partners
Key Learning Objectives:
Reimagining Building Envelopes: Understand how architects like Gledstone are transforming the high-rise landscape by exploring new possibilities for building envelopes, as demonstrated in the detailed study of Triptych Bankside, located next to London's Tate Modern.
Site-Specific Challenges and Solutions: Learn about the unique site considerations that shaped Triptych Bankside, from the layout influenced by protected views of St. Paul's Cathedral to innovative solutions for integrating a new street and respecting existing natural features.
Community and Sustainability in Design: Gain insights into the importance of community consultation and sustainable design practices that prioritize resident and worker needs, with a focus on the building's responsiveness to its surroundings.
Technical Collaboration for Innovative Outcomes: Discover the collaborative process behind the building's metal façade, created with engineering input from Eckersley O’Callaghan and techniques borrowed from the car-manufacturing industry, resulting in unique punch panels that define the project's aesthetic.
This webinar is ideal for architects, planners, and construction professionals interested in the latest trends in the cutting-edge of skyscraper design,
