第一線建築現場實務精華！建築師/建築設計者 視角的帷幕系統思維◆ 掌握帷幕系統的設計邏輯以單一三角錐體概念呈現帷幕系統四大系統之關係：設計Design、玻璃Glass、框料Frame、性能Performance。設計者得以一窺「設計」工作內涵如何主導玻璃、框料及性能系統，並對系統間的連動性概括掌握。◆ 控制帷幕品質的美感細節對許多建築師來說，玻璃帷幕建築的外牆設計挑戰令人又愛又怕，建築師在概念、方案設計(SD)階段利用3D透視等工具精心勾勒的建築外觀和設計細節，在細部設計(DD)階段發展帷幕構造時，卻常常力不從心。同為設計者，作者深諳這些設計變數的排除方法及工作邏輯，透過循序解說，灌輸務實成熟的帷幕設計觀點，使設計細節不必將就，構造性能無須打折。◆ 思考高ＣＰ值的預算方案針對常見的帷幕設計施工圖說不明確，迫使帷幕製造廠商變更原設計、費用追加、工期延長等情形，本書亦有實務建議，對於影響玻璃帷幕牆整體造價的因素、後續維護管理方案、材料性能等涉及營建成本之項目，皆以專案執行之實際考量進行探討，務求滿足業界精準控制造價之需求。
