Technische Universität Dresden Fakultät für Bauingenieurwesen Institut für Baukonstuktion - The two-day conference »engineered transparency« 21st and 22nd of October 2014 at CCD South of Messe Düsseldorf exhibition centre presents latest developments and research on architectural and structural use of glass, facade engineering and solar technology.  The conference, which takes place parallel to glasstec, will address two mayor topics:The first day of the conference focuses on novel timber-glass composites as load bearing elements in the building envelope with 11 lectures from a scientific background.

New fields of application open up for the sustainable material wood in structural connection with glass. Notable researchers from Linnaeus University Växjö (Sweden), University of Maribor (Slovenia), Vienna University of Technology (Austria) and Escuela Arquitectura Santiago de Chile (Chile) will present current results. Cooperate industry partners will contribute to the topic as well.

During the second day, October 22nd, structural and architectural design of structural glazing are picked out as a central theme. The subject reaches from impressive presentation of current projects such as a glazed elevator shaft for the mauritshuis (Mick Eeckhout, TU Delft), current developments in silicone adhesives (Florian Doebbel, Sika) up to research results which discuss for example the impact of spacer systems on curved units under climatic loads (Frank Wellershoff, HCU Hamburg).

Glass industry meets AI: And the glazier trade?
AI is increasingly being used in manufacturing by major flat glass producers with a view to optimising processes, reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions and securing competitiveness long term.
In this interview, Miika Äppelqvist (left) and Marko Mökkönen (right) from Glaston talk about the partnership between the Glass Performance Days (GPD) and glasstec.
Interview with Glaston on the GPD co-operation with glasstec
The cooperation between the GPD and glasstec creates new synergies for the international glass industry. In an interview, Glaston explains how both formats benefit from each other - and what added value this means for the industry.
Technologies such as machine learning and advanced analytics hold enormous potential for optimising manufacturing processes.
Digitalisation and AI in the glass industry and glazier trade
Digitalisation and the use of Artificial Intelligence have revolutionised many sectors of industry. In both fields utilisation and integration differ due to the corporate structures and the specific requirements and applications.
