Abstract: In modern building design and construction, various forms of isolation are employed to improve the functionality, safety, and comfort of structures. These isolation techniques can be categorized into thermal, acoustic, vibration, moisture, seismic, fire, and wind isolation. Thermal isolation ensures energy efficiency by regulating temperature, while acoustic and vibration isolation address the need for quieter, more comfortable environments by reducing sound and vibrations. Moisture isolation techniques, such as waterproofing and vapor barriers, protect buildings from water damage and mold growth. Seismic isolation strategies, such as base isolators, are critical in regions with earthquake risks, allowing buildings to absorb and dissipate seismic energy. Fire and wind isolation ensure buildings' resilience against hazards, preventing the rapid spread of fire and damage from high winds. Each isolation technique relies on specialized materials and methods tailored to specific building needs and environmental challenges, enhancing the durability, safety, and efficiency of the structure.
Keywords: modern building design, construction, isolation techniques.
