Architects and engineers have developed numerous advances in building technology that have allowed for the construction of taller, stronger, brighter, safer structures. As a result, contemporary designers have taken these systems and utilized them to help create a modern language of our building stock. At the same time, the lifespan of buildings still falls back on the weakest link of their components. Today, this is often sealants and adhesives, or “goop”, that are used to prevent moisture and air infiltration. Buildings need to solve the goop problem if they are going to last as long as the older buildings they are sitting next to.
