#facadesplus

WELCOME! A Message from the Facades+ Partners We are very excited to welcome you to our annual San Francisco Facades+ conference, symposium, and workshops. This year our theme is Performance and our keynote speaker is English and Malaysian ecoarchitect and theorist Ken Yeang.

Our New York City conference this past April was the best yet, with a sold out venue and a speaker lineup that drew an audience spanning the AEC industry, with many façade luminaries among both speakers and audience. With every iteration, Facades+ has become increasingly anticipated, better attended, and more engaging. There is good reason for this. Building facade technology and design practices are in the midst of a transformation that is bringing a profusion of new materials, processes, and design strategies to the realm of the building skin.

One need only review the facade designs of five years ago in comparison to those on the boards and under construction today to observe this phenomenon. And the evolution of the field is accelerating, driven by the escalating performance and aesthetic demands on building envelope systems. The energy-intensive nature of buildings is now widely acknowledged, and broad-based performance enhancements are the only solution. We have no choice but to innovate our way to a sustainable built environment, and the facade is pivotal in this pursuit. Facades+ is a strategic response to these emerging conditions and how they impact the building skin; a learning opportunity intended to facilitate a dialogue that spans the profession, the industry, and the academy.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you, the attendees. We recognize that your participation here represents an expenditure of resources, time, and money. The AEC industry has long been deficient in investing in its future. Many of us are working to change that. This conference is intended to give voice to these efforts. We especially want to thank our sponsors, and hope that all of you will recognize and acknowledge the importance of their support. We also encourage your organization to consider future sponsorship of Facades+ events.

Even as we share in the enthusiasm for this Bay Area event, we are planning our upcoming conferences. This October we return to Chicago, then NYC and SF in 2014. We are excited to add Texas to the tour; in October of 2014 we will be hosting a Facades+ conference in Dallas in partnership with Tex-Fab. We are very much interested in your thoughts on how we might improve the experience. Please join the Facades+ dialogue!
