The volumes are representative of the total possible building envelope, which can then be infilled by individual architects.

Frankly, I was expecting the firm to produce a more transparent building envelope.

Air barriers control air leakage into and out of the building envelope.

Looking up at it, you can see that the building envelope wanted to be a much simpler composition of volumes and planes.

All require manual installation around the building envelope, which is time and labor-intensive.

There will be a garden on the roof, protected by extensions of the glass curtain wall above the building envelope.

Thermal bridges are points in the building envelope that allow heat conduction to occur.

This, in effect will stretch the architecture outside the building envelope.

The many functions of the building envelope can be separated into three categories:

The main materials used in the building envelope consist of concrete, glass, granite and steel.
