“Quality follows function“
Documentation now available online
This year’s motto of the ift Special Show at BAU 2017 in
Munich
was
“Quality
follows
function”.
The
documentation of the Special Show is now available at
the ift online shop free of charge and contains
interesting information about “usage-oriented building
quality” at the example of school buildings, residential
constructions and care institutions.
The complexity of designing and constructing buildings and
the requirements of building elements increase more and
more. They are very different depending on the place of use.
There is no building element that can be used for all
applications, since the demands made on windows, doors or
gates in school buildings, administrative buildings or
residential constructions are very different.
The documentation of the ift Special Show “Quality follows
function” contains interesting tables, advices and pictures
with important guidelines for practical use to support
planners, architects, manufactures and installation
companies. Furthermore the requirements of the different
places of use are described and recommendations for
technical characteristics, dimensions, partitioning of windows
as well as opening type, construction or installations for
safety are given.
The documentation can be downloaded free of charge at the
ift online shop (www.ift-rosenheim.de/shop/en/).
