Engage in a Dialog with Leading Industry Experts at facades+ on 7/12!

AN‘s facades+ PERFORMANCE Conference in San Francisco is just 4 short days away! Have you registered for our Dialog Workshops yet? It isn’t too late!

Earn up to 8 AIA LU credits, interact with your peers, form valuable connections, and engage in in-depth dialogs with leading architects, fabricators, developers, and engineers in intimate classroom settings. From using innovative materials to the process of correctly implementing them, from achieving energy efficiency to ensuring structural performance, this year’s stimulating line-up of workshops covers all aspects of constructing a high-performance building facade.

For his “Emerging Material Technologies” workshop, conference co-coordinator Jeff Vaglio of Enclos has gathered a group of material technology experts including Bill Kreysler (Kreysler & Associates), Valerie Block (DuPont), Jason Flannery (Taktl), Tom Bialk (GKD), and James Sable (GreenScreen). Together the panel will examine an array of innovative materials and discuss the effects of implementing such materials into a high-performance facade design.

Alex Korter and Kevin Kavanagh of CO Architects realize that even the most advanced technologies and materials won’t be effective if  installed incorrectly. In their “Breaking Facades: Why Process is Often More Important than Materiality” workshop the pair will examine the essential steps, from earliest stages of design to post-completion, that must be employed in order to successfully deliver a high-performance building envelope.

Stephen Selkowitz, from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, will present the “Tools and Strategies for the New Zero Energy Façade Design” workshop. Sign up and explore the essential design strategies, technologies, and tools needed to achieve high-performance levels for energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

Join James Parker of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger and John Tawresey of KPFF Consulting Engineers as they reach beyond aesthetics and energy efficiency and explore the structural performance of a building facade in their workshop “The Structure of Facades – Criteria, Design Concepts and Performance.”

Mark Dannettel and Edward Peck of Thornton Tomassetti and Robert Clocker of Perkins+Will will present a workshop titled “Innovative Building Skins: Navigating the Design and Construction Process.” Join this trio as they explore the different “hats” that key players involved in the execution of a complex building façade must wear.

Brent Vander Werf of Tripyramid Structures has organized an impressive panel to present the “Intelligence Facades” workshop. Join Jason Vollen (CASE), Benjamin Hall (benjamin hall design+build), Francis O’Neill (Colt Shading), and Anthony E. Birchler (Zahner) as they demonstrate innovative design solutions for adaptive facades, quantify performance metrics, and address the impact that adaptive facades possess over contemporary design.

Participants are encouraged to select two from this exciting line-up of half-day workshops, one from the morning session and the second from the afternoon session.
