Architecture is a multi-faceted discipline that is full of inherent visual stimuli. Architecture communicates through its design and vision its purpose and demands attention. One of the key demands is its outward appearance, and through a series of exterior stimuli, it achieves an intended design message. Stakeholders in the design process look for the latest innovation, which is no different regarding architecture and its outward appearance demands.

The architectural market has gone through many changes over the last 20 years with the influence of technology and the design process itself. Architects are no longer locally, regionally, or domestically focused but rather globally. As a result, designs have become more complex and require stakeholders to become more tech-savvy and adept in internal processes.

Educate the Design Team as to the key role and significance played by the Fabricator on a project. This new understanding will enable the Team to consult and involve the Fabricator early in the design process. This early involvement will enable the Design Team to navigate code requirements, meet sustainability objectives, and design more efficiently. For the purposes of this course, we will discuss the fabrication of various design applications, common attachments systems, and features and benefits of a variety of cladding materials.
