Fastening technology is constantly developing and gaining in relevance in the last decades, as it allows the connection of various architectural elements to pre-constructed load bearing structures. As such it may be understood as a multiple interface in construction, and in particular:(i) the interface between architectural finishings and the structure (as eg drywalls, ceilings, façades),(ii) the connection of building service equipment (eg lighting, ventilation, energy-water-gas supply networks) and insulation shells to masonry and concrete elements, or (iii) the jointing of prefabricated and modular components. This paper describes the functionalities of fastening technology in a structural and architectural, cross-disciplinary realm, and investigates the requirements by the stakeholders involved. Furthermore, based on the review of applications and requirements, it highlights necessities in the design standardization and in the combined structural engineering and architecture education.
