The book examines the typological and technological constitution of the principal advanced
façade systems in the contemporary design and experimental scenario proposing itself as a
knowledge and operational tool currently lacking in the technical literature of the sector at
an international level. It considers the field of advanced façade systems in a scientific way
constituting a support for the study and the executive design. The book investigates in detail
in an analytical form the constitution of the components on a typological and geometrical
functional and constructive level on the basis of the documents and knowledges acquired from
the essential contemporary production and construction references. At the same time the book
is configured in a handbook form as a reference for understanding and application with respect
to traditional and complex façade systems. For each main type of façade the book provides
explanations and scientific information for investigating and designing the advanced façades
according to the characteristics of the mullions and transoms façade system (stick system) of
the structural sealant glazing façade system of the unit façade system of the suspended
façade system and of the double-skin façade system.
