Course Survey

Glass Design: Material Science, Structural Performance, and Aesthetic Integration is a comprehensive course that equips architects, structural engineers, façade consultants, product designers, and advanced students with the science and methods to design high‑performing glass systems. You will learn how composition, processing, coatings, and interlayers shape optical clarity and durability; how brittle behavior, flaw sensitivity, and laminates drive structural capacity and post‑breakage safety; and how to translate performance criteria into buildable, beautiful solutions. From curtain walls, canopies, and guardrails to furniture, interiors, and smart glazing, the course bridges theory and practice with practical sizing approaches, detailing strategies, and compliance pathways. You will explore standards (ASTM, ANSI, ISO, EN, ICC), testing and mock‑ups, and design workflows that integrate energy, daylight, and acoustic targets. By the end, you’ll confidently specify glass make‑ups, evaluate point‑fixings and silicone joints, coordinate tolerances and movement, and mitigate risks like nickel sulfide inclusions or thermal stress. The program culminates in a capstone synthesis that documents assumptions, checks, and performance criteria, preparing you to collaborate effectively with fabricators and installers while delivering expressive, safe, and efficient glass designs.

            <p>Glass Design: Material Science, Structural Performance, and Aesthetic Integration equips you to navigate glass as both a scientific material and a design medium. Grounded in the fundamentals, the course connects composition, manufacturing, and optical behavior to the realities of strength, failure modes, and serviceability. You will learn how brittle behavior, flaw sensitivity, and stress states translate into sizing strategies and safety provisions, and how coatings, interlayers, and fabrication choices shape performance in daylighting, thermal comfort, and acoustics. From architectural envelopes to product-scale applications, the content bridges rigorous engineering with visual intention so you can articulate solutions that are resilient, elegant, and buildable.</p>

<p>The journey begins with core material science—float, tempered, laminated, heat-strengthened, and chemically strengthened glass—then moves into structural behavior, load combinations, and post-breakage performance. You’ll examine glazing types and configurations, from IGUs to point-supported systems, and explore façade assemblies, canopies, and guardrails with an emphasis on redundancy, water management, and thermal bridging. Dedicated modules cover connections and sealants, tolerances and movement, and the code landscape spanning ASTM, ANSI, ISO, EN, and ICC references, including safety glazing, wind and seismic provisions, fire-rated limitations, and performance testing. Performance-focused topics address U-factor, SHGC, condensation, thermal stress, acoustic control, and daylighting and glare strategies, while risk management addresses hazards such as nickel sulfide inclusions, edge damage, and inspection protocols. You will also venture into interiors and product design, smart and switchable glass, curved and cold-bent systems, hybrid structures, and digital fabrication. The design process is made actionable with methods for translating criteria into glass build-ups, preliminary checks versus finite element analysis, verification and mock-ups, and clear documentation from concept through as-built. Knowledge checks throughout reinforce learning, and a capstone synthesizes material science, structural behavior, and aesthetics into a coherent, real-world concept ready for stakeholder coordination and fabrication discussions.</p>
