Luxurious skyscrapers have been built, allowing property owners to optimize their properties by maximizing the use of valuable plots of land in every major city. These magnificent towers showcase successive lines of elegant balconies ascending towards the sky, small segments of open-air areas reserved exclusively for private use.
Railings on these balconies contribute to the aesthetics of their projects as an integral component of the overall architectural design. They are highly visible while serving their intended purpose of ensuring the safety of occupants positioned behind them.
Architects, engineers, and builders now have access to many advanced tools for designing railings. Technologies like 3-D imaging, 3-D modeling, BIM, and CAD-CAM programs have revolutionized the possibilities in renovation projects. Innovative business models have emerged, whereby busy architectural firms operating in multiple locations can efficiently develop standardized details and specifications for railing systems.
Any licensed architect who works on projects that involve the design and implementation of railing systems would benefit from a course on "Considerations in Railing Design." This could include architects working on residential, commercial, or industrial projects, as well as those specializing in areas such as interior design, landscape architecture, or urban planning.
