Credits: 1 LU|Elective

COURSE TITLE:

Large-Format Glass-Mounting Options for Walls, Ceilings, & Seismic: Enabling Creative Architecture

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Designing lobbies and interiors with large-format panel walls and ceilings can be challenging, especially when seismically rated and environmentally-friendly/sustainable solutions are needed. This course provides an analysis of existing glass-mounting systems, compares and contrasts solutions, discusses field testing, and reviews aesthetic options.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  1. Explore the historical problems and challenges of mounting large-format glass.
  2. Compare existing glass-mounting systems and review case studies.
  3. Learn about the development of engineer-approved glass-mounting systems.
  4. Understand seismic testing and review seismically rated glass-mounting options.
  5. Explore aesthetic options, and understand how glass can mimic the appearance of wood, stone, and other materials as a safe and economical substitution.
  6. Review sustainability/environmental documentation for existing options.
  7. Learn how to specify seismically rated glass-mounting systems.
