Architects and Engineers from Across the Nation will Speak at facades+ in San Francisco Tomorrow!


AN’s long-awaited facades+ PERFORMANCE Conference is finally here! Join us tomorrow on Symposium Day as an array of renowned architects and engineers representing leading firms from all across the nation—and the world—unite at the UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center in San Francisco. These prominent industry leaders will deliver presentations and lead discussion-based panels on the fast-paced evolution of façade technology.

Conference co-coordinator Jeffrey Vaglio of Enclos and Claire Maxfield of Atelier Ten will kick off the long-awaited event with their opening remarks.

The morning Keynote Address will be delivered by Ecoarchitect Dr. Kenneth Yeang of Hamzah & Yeang Architects, who has flown in all the way from Malaysia to speak at facades+! Through his presentation Yeang will examine the principles of green architecture and will discuss several topics in ecological design, including the green building as a “living system,” the vegetated facade, and the facade as a “linear park.”

Gary Handel of Handel Architects will deliver the afternoon Keynote Address in which he will explore the history of the development of glass facades and identify future advances in facade technology.

The event features a full day of speaker highlights including David Frey & Brian Cook of SOM who will discuss facade delivery challenges in China, Stephen Selkowitz of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who will report on the measured building energy performance of the New York Times HQ Building, Edward Peck of Thornton Tomasetti who will speak on “The Components of Performance,” Maurya McClintock of McClintock Facade Consulting who will speak on “Envelope Energy Performance and Their Role in Deep Energy Retrofit Projects,” and Robert Aish of Autodesk and Gustav Fagerstrom of Buro Happold who will discuss “Performative Facade Design with Computation and Topology.”

Also on the agenda are a series of stimulating panel discussions including the Digital Technologies panel moderated by Benedict Tranel of Gensler, the Innovation Panel moderated by Jason Kelly Johnson of Future Cities Lab, and The Materials Panel moderated by Geoff Rossi of Element.

Join a consortium of your peers at facades+ PERFORMANCE tomorrow, and don’t miss out on this great networking opportunity!
