Stay current on envelope engineering — safety, performance, unitised systems, and the existing stock.
Engineering façades for safety, performance and longevity
The envelope is a structural, thermal, and public-facing system. Treating it as decoration is how buildings age badly.
Why unitised systems still win on complex towers
Prefabrication, quality, and programme — and the geometry that only works if the factory and the site share a language.
The slab edge is the project
Vision glass gets the rendering. Transoms, anchors, and slab edges decide whether the wall meets its U-value and stays dry inside.
Recladding without emptying the building
Most of the work is already standing. The craft is diagnosis, phasing, and an envelope that can be built around people who still have jobs to do.
