Development of a Super Slim Façade System for InHolland Polytechnic, Delft

The initial conceptual ‘wild idea’ for the INHolland project by architect Rijk Rietveld, New York, was elaborated through different design brainstorms towards a radical innovative system for ultra-slim glass façades. In this façade system insulated glass panels of a depth of maximum 50 mm are integ...
