WELCOME TO FACADES+ LA! The Architect’s Newspaper is nearing the end of our ninth year of the Facades+ conference program and, after 18 months of disruptions, we are thrilled to welcome new attendees and longtime supporters to the program’s dynamic dialogue. At every Facades+ conference, we strive to bring fresh and relevant programming to each city and are ecstatic to be able to do so again in person. We have taken advanced precautions to ensure that this event will be safe for all attendees. Facades+ Los Angeles brings together top professionals from the worlds of design, engineering, fabrication, and construction to consider how high-performance envelopes contribute to LA’s distinctive character and meet the city’s changing needs. We’d like to thank our conference Co-Chair, Avideh Haghighi, Architect and Sustainability Strategist at ZGF, who has helped curate this program of design leaders from a variety of fields. We invite you to connect with presenters and your peers during networking breaks in the Methods+Materials Gallery. Please get to know the industry-leading sponsors in the Methods+Materials Gallery and learn how they shape the future of building-facade technologies. Has Facades+ struck a chord with you? Have a look at our upcoming 2021 events held in cities across the country. Next we’ll be headed to Seattle on December 3rd for our last in-person event of the year. Visit the Architect’s Newspaper website to learn more about our other upcoming online events such as Re-Use + Renewal and Outdoor Spaces. We are eager to hear from you about how we might improve the Facades+ experience. Talk to us. And please spread the word—help us to continue to grow the Facades+ dialogue and community.

Less green. For less green.

University of Kansas Medical Center Health Education Building | Kansas City, Kansas | Helix Architecture + Design and CO Architects | Shown: Solarban® 72 Starphire® glass*

Find affordable clarity in the Solarban® Acuity™ low-e glass series. Introducing Acuity™ low-iron glass — which is 60 percent less green than ordinary clear glass . The new Solarban® Acuity™ series by Vitro Architectural Glass provides the truly clear look you want with the outstanding performance of the full range of Solarban® solar control low-e coatings. Upgrading a low-e coated clear insulating glass unit to Solarban® Acuity™ glass will typically increase the total installed curtainwall cost by only $1–2 per square foot. Give a little, get it all. Request your samples at vitroglazings.com/acuity

*Like Solarban® Starphire® glass, Solarban® Acuity™ glass delivers a distinctive, highly transparent low-iron aesthetic.
