The facade serves as the building's public face, allowing rapid assessment of its architecture. 'Best of Detail: Facades' explores this topic with theoretical discussions and an in-depth look at a range of selected projects, which, besides showcasing suitable materials and designs, give the reader a detailed look behind the scenes. It turns out that quality architecture can only result from a coherency between the facade, structure, internal organisation and building services – design elements that interact directly with each other. This presents the architect with enormous challenges, particularly as the unity between the exterior and interior is no longer a given, as today's range of materials and design possibilities offer nearly limitless creativity. The book gathers highlights on this issue from various Detail publications, offering abundant inspiration and constructive solutions for the reader's own work.

The external facades of a building are more than a protective mantle, or an intelligent skin regulating temperature and light, they also determine its very appearance. By unusual choices of materials and the use of complex technology, facades have become increasingly significant in recent years. External surfaces are being perceived as an integral part of the building and are therefore being designed as such. This volume focuses on the wide-ranging aspects of facade design, from the selection and use of materials to the advanced technical possibilities now open to the architect. A wide array of carefully selected international examples show the theory in the practice. All plans, details, and large scale sections of the facades have been researched with the high degree of competence typical of the editorial staff from the review Detail. Expert authors provide the essential information needed to plan and design facades and elucidate on the latest developments in technology and materials.

This publication provides best practice guidance for the safe, economic and practical retention of existing facades. It is intended to be the standard reference for all who have an active involvement in such projects. steel or reinforced concrete frames, generally constructed in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, and of varying size and complexity. It describes the planning, design and construction procedures for facade retention, the principal parties involved and their responsibilities, and the health and safety issues associated with this work. The risks and uncertainties of work with existing construction are discussed and the benefit of allowing both time and money for early investigation is emphasised. recommendations for various parameters to be used in the design of facade retention systems. These are based on wide-ranging industry consultations, a review of the substantial volume of literature available and a review of a variety of facade retention projects. Masonry Facades - Best Practice Site Handbook (CIRIA C589). The Site handbook is aimed more directly at temporary works co-ordinators, planning supervisors, site agents, site engineers and safety advisers, and is intended to be an essential part of site documentation for facade retention projects.
