| Abstract | Architectural detailing is primarily left to experience in professional practice rather than formal education. This thesis assumes a methodology can be developed to teach students and young architects architectural detailing. The methodology is based on rules and a process, considering assembly, installation, tolerance, functionality, and aesthetics. It is illustrated and demonstrated on case studies of Point-Supported-Glass (PSG) walls, which present some of the most complex detailing challenges with potential flaws, ranging from assembly problems to leaks. |
