Tami Merrick is a recognized expert on the design of curtain walls, which are featured in several of our projects including GSA Regional Office Building in Houston and Houston Methodist Hospital West.

She gives us three insights in three minutes on her motivation and process when choosing the design of a system. 1. What is your motivation behind and how are you designing your curtain walls to be more impact resistant, shatter resistant, hurricane resistant and bomb resistant? Each curtain wall system has to be carefully considered as to what is appropriate for the project on which it will be installed. the tortilla curtain part 1 summarySome projects have requirements related to blast, safety, or hurricane protection and the types of mullion system and glazing selected should be tested to industry standards and proven to perform as anticipated. ikea curtains eivorThere are varying levels of blast so the criteria for blast level is also a consideration on required reinforcing. weathermate curtains grommet

Scale of the building and applicable codes may also be factors in choosing a particular system. Most of the systems are primarily shop assembled to provide best quality of product for a project, and shop assembled windows are referred to as “unitized”. Blast requirements also minimize allowable glazing spans and can require added reinforcing at intermediate mullions. 2. How do you design thermal breaks into your curtain wall designs to attain the above qualities?cheap curtains 66x108 Architects typically prefer to use thermally broken tested systems on any project to maximize the thermal capability of curtain walls. hush bubba curtainsMost of our energy will be lost at doors, windows and penetrations versus mass walls. silver curtains harry corry

The type of glazing and performance of the glazing as well as shading overhangs, etc. are other considerations. In the future we will look to minimize air infiltration at all openings in a building. This includes the heat and cold that are conducted by connections of the curtain wall that are bridging from the exterior to the interior construction. This is often referred to as thermal bridging. rugby stripe blackout curtainsThere are products entering the market place that are specifically designed to address thermal bridging.  Architectural detailing of the systems to the mass wall is also important to mitigate air infiltration. 3. In selecting a curtain wall system for any random project, what are the primary considerations? Scale of the building, mullion and glazing spans, location and structural wind loading criteria are primary considerations. Traditional stick systems are assembled on site. 

Unitized shop fabricated systems are often preferred for quality control and minimizing installation schedule in site. Typically the trend today is a hybrid system combining multiple systems.  Major sections are prefabricated in a quality controlled environment and are designed to be splice jointed in the field. Architects should request early mock-ups to gain an understanding of the integrated waterproofing and flashing details required. Mock-ups should include splice joints in the window system and waterproofing/flashing which are susceptible to leaks relying on field installation. Water testing at an early stage can help guarantee the desired performance and maintain fast track schedules.Timothy Hursley was born in 1955 in Detroit, Michigan, where he apprenticed in architectural photography with Hungarian photographer Balthazar Korab beginning in 1972. His apprenticeship continued until he moved to Little Rock, Arkansas in 1980, where he started his own studio, The Arkansas Office.

From 1982 to 1987, Hursley made architectural photographs in New York of Andy Warhol’s last Factory on Madison Avenue at 34th Street. Eleven of Hursley's Factory photographs were published in Andy Warhol "Giant" Size (Phaidon Press, 2006). In addition, from 1985-1990, Hursley photographed legal brothels in Nevada. Hursley revisited the Nevada brothels in 2001, publishing his photography in Brothels of Nevada: Candid Views of America’s Legal Sex Industry (Princeton Architectural Press, 2003). Since 1994, Tim has worked on a third major project photographing artist-architect Samuel Mockbee’s Rural Studio at Auburn University. This has resulted in three books: Rural Studio: Samuel Mockbee and an Architecture of Decency (Princeton Architectural Press, 2002), Proceed and Be Bold (Princeton Architectural Press, 2005) and Rural Studio at Twenty (Princeton Architectural Press, 2014).The Dallas Arts District Theater was a magnificent piece of crap. Affectionately dubbed the Shed, the junky, corrugated-steel construction looked more warehouse than Koolhaas, but it was basic enough that wild-eyed visionaries would routinely rip out and rearrange seats to fit whatever the current show demanded.

Then, in 2005, the Shed was torn down.This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. to report an issue. Fortunately, its replacement, which hosts its first production in October, is a worthy successor. Created by the New York megafirm Rex and OMA, an international architecture firm co-founded by Rem Koolhaas, the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre was designed to be an enormous Transformer that can suit almost any directorial whim.1 The seating, for example, shifts easily to accommodate changes in stage design: Movable balconies hang from the ceiling; cylindrical jacks can tilt and shift the downstairs chairs in response. The theater is also surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass panels that pivot open for al fresco drama. Audiences can then wander in from all sides; the Dallas skyline can serve as a backdrop. It takes as little as 15 minutes to reconfigure the theater, and so far Rex has come up with eight variations. More are sure to come.
