At the general meeting of the Association of Ukrainian Manufacturers of Transparent Structures (UMTS), plans were announced to republish the educational manual “Transparent building enclosures” in collaboration with the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture (KNUCA). The updated edition is scheduled for 2026.
The manual was first published in 2005. The new edition will serve as a modern knowledge base for students of architecture and construction, as well as for professionals working in the window manufacturing industry, installation of transparent structures, architecture, and design. Particular attention in the manual is given to drawings of joints and junctions — a valuable reference for practitioners.
The initiative is part of the educational project WindowED, which aims to develop professional training in the field of transparent structures. The publication is planned to be integrated into academic curricula.
In addition to updating the manual, UMTS and KNUCA also announced the creation of a specialised training classroom at the university for preparing structural engineers. A memorandum of cooperation between UMTS and KNUCA has already been signed.
