Designing With Glass Under Pressure featuring Richard Green & Russell Davies

In this episode of All Things Facades Podcast, we sat down with Russ and Richard for a practical, experience-driven discussion on the realities of architectural glass design today. Drawing from decades in glass engineering and investigation, they explore emerging glazing technologies, performance targets, and why higher thermal performance often comes with added risk and complexity. The conversation covers critical trade-offs around U-value, solar control, embodied carbon, appearance, durability, and serviceability, along with the growing influence of codes, climate, and impact-resistant glazing. From thermal stress failures and spandrel issues to fabrication consistency and replacement logistics, this episode highlights the importance of early owner engagement, clear communication, and sound engineering judgment when specifying glass façades. #AllThingsFacades #StructuralGlass #ArchitecturalGlass #FacadeEngineering #GlassDesign #HighPerformanceFacades #ThermalStress #ImpactGlazing #HurricaneGlazing #IGUDesign #BuildingEnclosures #FacadeConsulting #GlassEngineering allthingsfacadesgroup.com
