TRINAR coatings The color you spec is the color that stays 速

Color can transform a design, but only if it refuses to fade, chalk or submit to the elements.

When you specify TRINAR, you are ensuring your project will retain its beautiful appearance - season, after season, after season. The proof can be seen in every TRINAR installation: brilliant color and gloss performance that continues to be proven over time.

TRINAR is a 70% PVDF coating that meets the AAMA 2605 superior performance spec for coil and extrusion coatings, and can be found on some of the most recognizable buildings worldwide. Its performance enhances many different elements of the exterior facade: from louvers to metal roofs, and from column covers to commercial windows.

WELCOME

Los Angeles February 5 + 6 2015

A Message from the Facades+ Partners Welcome to the inaugural Facades+ LA conference, symposium, and workshops! The first Facades+ event was hosted in New York City in early 2012, and inspired an ongoing series that has traversed the nation three times. Each event has grown equally in anticipation, excitement, and participation. Last year we touched down in New York City, Chicago, and Dallas. We are most excited to kick off our 4th year amidst the booming downtown of Los Angeles. Introducing a novel event at a new venue to a fresh city is both a great challenge and pleasure. We are confident that you will find Facades+ an engaging experience, and that together we will create the same intensity of thought, experience, and dialogue that has inspired our past gatherings.

There is a lot to talk about, from new materials that are finding application in the building skin to emergent design strategies that address varying aspects of building performance and appearance. More than a few high-profile facades were unveiled in 2014, with many more in the works for completion this year. Some of these recently completed projects have been spectacular successes, some of them far less so. What makes the difference? Project delivery strategy appears to be linked as a strong contributing factor, but in what way? The Thursday symposium will include a series of lectures and panel discussions on topics derived from these and related considerations. Friday is comprised of workshop programs tailored to allow a deeper and more hands-on exploration of the topics with smaller groups.

Once again, our volunteer conference chairs, chosen from among your peers, have curated a brilliant speaker program of notable practitioners from various sectors of the AEC industry. We also direct your attention to the select industry-leading sponsors that have stepped up to make Facades+ the success it has become. They have a high profile at the conference venue, and we encourage all of you to spend some time with them and see what they are up to; they have been included as sponsors because they are playing a leading role in the step-change currently underway in building facade technology.

Even as we share in the enthusiasm for this LA conference, we are planning our upcoming events for 2015. Programming is already underway for New York City, consistently our biggest conference, this year scheduled for April 16-17. Facades+NYC will focus on the dynamic building activity currently underway in the city, the hottest construction market in the U.S. Curbed NY recently cited 42 notable building projects in the works or recently completed, with many landmarks already among them, that are transforming the urban environment of this vibrant city. What is driving this activity? How are these novel projects being realized? What changes are taking place with facade technology to accommodate this urban transformation? These and many more questions will be addressed in a dialogue that is likely to redefine perceptions of the role of the facade in a beautiful and sustainable built environment. We will be announcing our other 2015 conference locations soon, so keep an eye out and plan your schedules accordingly.

As always, we are very much interested in your thoughts on how we might improve the Facades+ experience and assure your continued participation in our future programs. Talk to us. And please spread the word to join the Facade+ dialogue!
