Video of the week: Structural glazing engineered for beauty and strength

  • 21 Mar 2016

Architects often use structural glazing to add design flair to buildings – but how do we ensure that it is as strong as it is beautiful?

In Buildingtalk’s video of the week, Dr. Jonathan Williams of Pilkington United Kingdom Limited explains how advanced computer-aided modelling and design techniques continue to push the boundaries of glazing both aesthetically and structurally.

The video specifically looks at Pilkington Planar, the company’s structural glass system developed to meet the needs of architects, designers and structural engineers.
