Description

Vanishing edge and slot-edge details continue to frame watershapes in creative and beautiful ways. Comprehending the infinite architectural options, underlying structural and finish challenges, and fluid mechanics can be an intimidating task. This focused eight-hour program deconstructs the artistry of the edge and exposes the technical challenges with solutions that include everything from reinforcing steel to new fluid engineering analysis tools.

Students are expected to have a smartphone or tablet to access the analysis tools. A laptop is not required.
