FROM THE EDITOR
Across the globe, building envelopes are becoming increasingly diverse as architects, designers, planners and developers explore fresh, creative ways of expressing a building’s individuality through the design, interpretation, application and combination of exterior building materials.
Technological advancements in building envelope materials are also driving improved performance to ensure the rigorous function of the building envelope as a sustainable and effective weather, air, noise and thermal barrier, is meticulously met.
To find out if architects designing Passivhaus envelopes are making aesthetic and other compromises to achieve what is often considered the ultimate energy performance standard for buildings, in a special report we asked architects about their experiences when working on Passivhaus projects of different building types, scales and construction materials.
According to Arup’s Cities Alive: Green Building Envelope report, building envelopes can also be more than an outer skin structure, providing a barrier. Their report looks at how the application of green infrastructure to the surfaces of both new and existing inner-city buildings in five worldwide cities has produced interesting results.
In this issue, Arup tells us more about how living walls applied to any building envelope roof, facade or connecting interior to exterior area are not simply green decor but a way of reducing air pollution, lowering energy consumption, decreasing noise, cooling cities, shielding and storing rainwater and making towns and cities healthier and more attractive places for people to visit, work and live in.
To illustrate how some cutting-edge projects are pushing the building envelope design boundaries, our three project reports examine different international approaches, all with eye-catching results.

In Rio de Janiero, Brazil, architects Bernardes Arquitetura created a low-rise office block with a three- layered facade comprising aluminium-framed glazing, white metal lattice brise soleil and live plants. Whereas in Locarno Switzerland, Buzzi Studio Di Architettura used pioneering robot technology to form panels of a wave-like brick facade design whilst architect Anne Démians included 200 km of reconstituted wood strips sourced from Japan in her facade design for Société Générale’s trio of office blocks, Les Dunes, in eastern Paris.
Along with expert comment, reports on the latest technology and a round-up of brick trends from the BDA awards, we hope you enjoy the read!

BUILDING ENVELOPE
adf 02.17
ON THE COVER... The Anibal Building in Rio de Janeiro may be a low- rise office building, but its facade designed by archi- tects Bernades Arquitetura provides a striking take on brise soleil. The distinctive white metal diamonds that are created help keep users cool and give the building a strong identity. For more information, go to page 19.
