The façade envelope of a diplomatic building in New York.
Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Foreign Affairs Campus
Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Foreign Affairs Campus. Our work included engineering calculations for the aluminium framing, glazing system, anchors and façade connections, with particular attention to wind, seismic and thermal performance throughout the building envelope.
The engineering strategy focused on delivering a façade system that combined architectural transparency with structural efficiency. Through detailed analysis and close collaboration with the project team, the façade was designed to achieve the required levels of safety, serviceability and durability while maintaining the architect's original design vision.
