- Abstract:
- In 1968, the company Josef Gartner & Co. was granted the patent for an “external building wall with water-filled hollow steel columns”. This patent defines the principle of the Integrated Facade System, which conflates the supporting structure, building envelope and building services. Hollow steel columns are connected to the water heating and cooling system. For the first time, the new system was presented at a prototype pavilion at the international trade fair “BAU 68” in Munich. Translocated to Gundelfingen soon after, it survived as a gate-house to the factory premises until today. The Integrated Facade System has since been applied at numerous ob-jects, not least icons of late 20th century architecture. However, the integration of building services and building envelope, once a mark of technological achievement, poses serious challenges for maintenance and repair.
