Architectural Glass

By simplifying the architectural process you can divide it into six main categories or phases if you will.

1. The first being architectural 3D modelling, which is the construction of 3D models for various purposes.
2. Three dimensional architectural rendering is the second and relates to the creating, manipulation and altering of 3D models on a digital interface.
3. Architectural animation is the third phase and is the fabrication of a 3 dimensional structure in video format.
4. Architectural drafting refers to the primary development phases of a structure, including floor plans and elevations.
5. Architectural design is the conceptualisation on the structure; it’s the exact art of establishing a precise foundation.
6. Architectural services constitute the final phase which and is provided by the firm you’ve contracted. All building, design, interior design and landscaping applications are included in the last two phases. Architecture is all about finding and implementing new and inspiring elements into each structure, revolutionising the world one assembly at a time. This is where the new technologically advanced architectural glass, smart glass comes into play.

Glass is a major element in architectural design as it’s the main source of natural light. This is why smart glass is such a tremendous breakthrough; it allows architects and designers to manually manipulate the amount and density of light within a given space. This is possible due to the way this innovative architectural glass functions:

• A thin SPD (suspended particle devices) film is placed between to panels of transparent glass. The film consists of minute rod like particles suspended within a liquid. When you apply energy via an electric current to the film, all the particles align and permit the light to pass freely, rendering the glass translucent. Once the flow of energy is cut off the particles scatter and orientate randomly within the liquid. In this state the film prohibits light from passing through, giving the glass an opaque appearance. The smart glass can be gradually adjusted to any desired level of opacity when SPD SmartGlass is being used

This revolutionary form of architectural glass awards the architect much more freedom in his design. For more information on the product don’t hesitate to contact SmartGlass International for further assistance.
