Serrated Glass Facades: the Influence of Façade Morphology on Aesthetic Quality
Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2018 Serrated building envelopes are a very eye-catching element of contemporary architecture. This type of façade in plan resembles the edges of a serrated blade, hence the name. Serrated facades substantially influence the building’s tectonics understood as
