Building with Thanks: 5 Curtain Wall Materials Architects Value The Architectural Warmth of Thanksgiving The glass and metal of the façade gleam in the Thanksgiving morning light, reflecting the thoughtful choices behind every material. Each material is more than a technical decision — it’s a small gift to the building, a way of saying thanks. We thank those who trust our work, the cities that embrace it, and nature for its generosity. That feeling of appreciation is etched into every texture and detail, as the building enters a warm and lasting conversation with the world around it. Curtain Wall Journeys: Five Materials in Action 1. Aluminum Screens at Doha Mosque

Illuminating Architecture: Diwali-Inspired Facade Design by SunFrame — Exploring how traditional festivals inspire modern facade lighting design Introduction – When Diwali Lights Illuminate the Skin of Architecture In India, Diwali symbolizes the return of light and hope. As festive lamps move beyond doorsteps and window sills to shimmer across urban facades, a dialogue between tradition and modernity about light and architecture quietly unfolds. At SunFrame, we believe that curtain walls are not just a building’s exterior, but a canvas for the art of light and shadow. By integrating materials, structures, and lighting, we turn buildings into “active lights” rather than “forced lights,” extending the city’s night sky into an expression of the

Winter-Ready Façades in Canada: The TOM CONDOS Experience The coming of Canada’s Thanksgiving Day also signals the approach of the country’s harsh winter. Montreal’s winters are severe, with temperatures often dropping below -20°C and relentless freeze-thaw cycles. Therefore, the construction season there feels far too short. However, against this backdrop, TOM CONDOS still stayed on schedule. More than that, it also showcased a unitized curtain wall system – a reference for cold-climate building envelopes for now. Let’s move on to the following parts to take a closer look at the strategies and technologies that made it possible. Prefabrication First: Rewriting Winter Construction Logic It’s fair to say that the key to TOM CONDOS’ success was moving risk off-site. By shifting

From Day to Night: Christmas Façade and Curtain Wall Lighting in the Philippines — Insights from SunFrame’s Philippine Projects Façades in the World’s Longest Christmas Season When the first breeze of September sweeps through the islands, the Philippines quietly enters its Christmas season. From Manila to Cebu, malls, hotels, and office towers don their luminous attire. During these four festive months, building façades cease to be static shells.

Curtain Wall Construction Safety in the U.S. | Labor Day Reflections Starting at the Frontline–Why Curtain Wall Worker Safety Matters Can you imagine? In the early morning hours of New York, workers strap on their harnesses and then step out onto the scaffolding to begin work. For them, each pane of glass on the curtain wall is more than just part of a building. Also, it’s a crucial factor that determines whether they can stay safe and resilient. Like helmets, fall-arrest systems, safety ropes, things we take for granted today are actually the result of nearly a century of evolution in construction safety. This Labor Day, we pause to pay tribute to the men and women
