Cristacurva will continue to offer customers throughout North Ameri-ca quality and complex value-added glass products,” says Francisco Sanchez-Gil, Cristacurva’s CEO. With this strategic decision, Cristacurva will concentrate all efforts and focus toward its core business, the fabrication of special-ty glass products with stringent quality re-quirements, according to the company “This is one of the best plants in the U.S., and as a leader in the building products sec-tor, OBE is the right successor to continue Glass Wholesalers’ legacy and tradition of providing best-in-class products and ser-vices throughout Houston and the broader Texas market.
OLDCASTLE BUILDING ENVELOPE HOUSTON FULL
Glass Wholesalers, based in Houston, provides a full range of architectural glass and related products in the southwest market. 16 hh USGlass Metal & Glaz i ng hh January 2020 ldcastle BuildingEnvelope ® (OBE), a CRH Company, has acquired the as-sets of Glass Wholesalers Inc. Led by Kathy Ve-likov and Matias del Campo, both associate professors of architecture, the project will explore how changes in thermal resistance for glazing can be applied to new building envelope systems made of glass and new glass-skinned building materials.
The second, “Design Ecologies of Glass,” is a collaboration between Taubman College and U-M’s College of Engineering.
“Biometric, Communicative and Envi-ronmental Interfaces: Expanding the Functional Integration of Glass in Promoting Health and Wellness in the Workplace” is led by Robert Adams, associate professor of architecture and director of Taubman College’s M.S. The first study is a collaboration between Taubman College and U-M’s School of Information. “To move from our fabrication lab out into the bigger world, howev-er, where it can yield tangible change for people beyond our campus, architectural innovation needs pathways to deployment and partners from other fields,” says Jonathan Massey, dean of Taubman College. The projects will draw on Taubman College’s design and fabrication expertise, enhanced by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from engineering, robotics and sustainability science, as well as experts in the construction, real es-tate and building industries, according to the announcement. An award from Guard-ian will result in two architectural research studies as a part of the new Guardian–Taubman Research Alliance. Guardian Industries Announces Research Partnership The University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and Guardian Industries are collaborating on a re-search partnership in advanced glass materials.
