Review

The science focused conference entitled »engineered transparency« was held on 25 October and 26 October at the CCD East at the fairground in Dusseldorf in the wake of the world`s leading tradefair »glasstec«. It was organized by the Dresden University of Technology and the Darmstadt Technical University of Technology in cooperation with Messe Dusseldorf.

Outstanding keynote speakers such as Professor Michael Bell, of Columbia University in New York, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Lothar Wondraczek from Jena Otto-Schott-Institute for glass chemistry at Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Dipl. Ing. Till Schneider, proprietor of „Schneider + Schumacher Architekten“, Frankfurt / Main, and Dr. Weinrebe, engineer at „schlaich bergermann, and partner“ opened the event. The ambitious program inspired over 200 participants.

In more than 80 presentations latest developments and results of research in the area of structural glazing, facade design and solar technology in the building envelope were explained. The conference is directed particularly towards an audience from the areas of research and development as well as construction and implementation. The symposium addressed scientists, engineers, architects, surveyors for the construction industry and those working in construction authorities equally.
