Pulp Studio launched a new online credit educational course in partnership with Architectural Record. The new course, “Designing with Architectural Decorative Glass,” dives into the options, technology, fabrication techniques and performance of architectural decorative glass.
About the course
Learning objectives of the 1 AIA LU/HSW CEU include:
- Identify and recognize the characteristics of different types of architectural glass and some of the national safety performance standards that are applicable.
- Investigate the design potential and innovative opportunities to create building exteriors and interiors that are safe and attractive using glass technology.
- Assess the fabrication options of architectural glass to contribute to the welfare of building occupants through light and artistic applications.
- Specify different appearances, textures, and properties for architectural glass for use in new and existing commercial buildings of all types.
Official course description: "Few building materials have as great an impact on aesthetics, performance, and function as glass does. Yet, not all the different types of glass and their potential for being fabricated into different architectural components are as well-known as they could be. This course provides architects and other design professionals with an overview of the full range of possibilities available from glass manufacturers and fabricators. The intent is to provide a fundamental knowledge of glass manufacturing and fabrication as used in buildings. In the process, a design palette emerges based on architectural decorative glass that can help to create buildings that excel in all areas of design and performance. The principles and concepts covered are applicable to both new and existing building designs."
What Pulp Studio says
“Many architects and designers don’t have a full grasp on the range of possibilities available from glass manufacturers,” says Kirk Johnson, chief operating officer, Pulp Studio. “We are very excited to offer this new, comprehensive CEU to our course library. This course will provide readers with fundamental knowledge of glass manufacturing and fabrication used in buildings with the intent of creating buildings that exceed in design and performance, now and in the future.”
