This book provides a compendium of material properties,
demonstrates several successful examples of bio-based materials'
application in building facades, and offers ideas for new designs
and novel solutions. It features a state-of-the-art review,
addresses the latest trends in material selection, assembling
systems, and innovative functions of facades in detail. Selected
case studies on buildings from diverse locations are subsequently
presented to demonstrate the successful implementation of various
biomaterial solutions, which defines unique architectural styles
and building functions. The structures, morphologies and aesthetic
impressions related to bio-based building facades are discussed
from the perspective of art and innovation; essential factors
influencing the performance of materials with respect to
functionality and safety are also presented. Special emphasis is
placed on assessing the performance of a given facade throughout
the service life of a building, and after its end. The book not
only provides an excellent source of technical and scientific
information, but also contributes to public awareness by
demonstrating the benefits to be gained from the proper use of
bio-based materials in facades. As such, it will appeal to a broad
audience including architects, engineers, designers and building
contractors.
