Abstract
The resolution of façade construction is not considered in the design process, as it can be expressed by complex technological innovations that emphasize the beauty of buildings. Nevertheless, resorting to this type of technology solution may not always be necessary. This study demonstrates this hypothesis through the investigation of five iconic case studies emphasizing the construction system analysis and the revelation of the brainwave idea. The brainwave idea defines the construction innovation that enables the detail by simplification rather than sophistication. Notable, unlike complex technological innovation, standard systems or elements applied strategically are considered little innovations to facilitate the resolutions of the façade complexity. Many of these innovations occur during the visual and constructive prototype progress required to validate the proposed solution and its performance. Therefore, real-scale prototype development that operates as a real-scale laboratory is necessary to correct and validate successive solutions.
