Written by an architect and aimed at architects, Reynaers’ new RIBA-approved curtain walling CPD is titled The Best of All Possible Worlds.
In association with
Reynaers Aluminium UK, a leading supplier of sustainable architectural aluminium systems, has unveiled a new RIBA-approved CPD seminar focused on curtain walling systems. Titled, The Best of All Possible Worlds – How Curtain Walling can help meet the needs and demands of architecture and construction in the 21st Century, it provides architects with an in-depth understanding of using curtain walling to meet modern design objectives. The CPD was crafted by architect Paul Iddon, Vice President of the Manchester Society of Architects.
The new seminar provides an overview of the evolution of curtain walling in response to the changing needs of the architecture and construction sectors. It covers essential regulatory frameworks across approved documents, referencing the Building Safety Act (BSA) and Construction Design & Management (CDM) regulations. With a comprehensive exploration of curtain walling systems, participants will gain a thorough grounding in its co-development with construction technology.
The seminar also provides a broad understanding of relevant systems, delving into their usefulness in meeting various design criteria, and elucidating key considerations for architects and specifiers. Practical applications are illustrated by case studies that showcase diverse uses and exemplary contextual designs. Valuable insights are offered into the relevance of curtain walling in meeting sustainability and circular economy goals.
Richard Jekiel, National Consult Manager at Reynaers Aluminium UK, commented, “At Reynaers, we are committed to supporting architects in realising their visions.
