About the book
The building envelope in the world of green construction is one of the most complex, sensitive and expensive elements of any modern construction project.
Poor design or inaccurate execution of aluminum curtain walls can lead to engineering failures, water infiltration, heavy financial losses and project delivery delays.
This book is written with 45 years of experience working alongside some of the most renowned architects, construction companies and developers in Israel, the United States, Asia and across Europe. It covers all aspects of curtain wall systems, including but not limited to system design, sustainability, glass technologies, unified facades and double-skin wall solutions, to ensure a high-quality, durable and safe aluminum envelope.
Since academic faculties specializing in curtain wall systems are nearly nonexistent worldwide, this book serves as a professional reference for a field that is critical to both structural performance and weathertightness. By bringing together theoretical knowledge and on-site practice, this guide bridges the gap between the two and enables readers to master the art of curtain wall design and execution.
A curtain wall is not just a partition. It is the meeting point between vision and reality.
