Facades + New Perspectives on High-Performance Building Skins
The Art Institute of Chicago and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Facades+ is the eighth event in an ongoing series of conferences that have unfolded in cities across the nation, including New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago. Each year the event is designed to address a new theme. This year we have selected Resilience.
In an era where climate change and global warming is directly transforming the urban planning of our cities, architects are faced with the challenging task of designing buildings that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally sustainable. The conference, symposium, and workshops will trace the history and evolution of facade design over the past five years, answer your questions about the performance, delivery and maintenance of sustainably built facades, and propose innovative design solutions to the dynamically changing environmental conditions we face today. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to form valuable professional connections, converse with your peers, and learn from leading industry experts.
Opening keynote speaker James Timberlake, FAIA is a founding principal of KieranTimberlake, the Philadelphia-based architecture firm known for its synthesis of art, science, and advanced research. JAHN’s president, Francisco Gonzalez-Pulido, AIA, will give the afternoon keynote.
Who Should Attend? We welcome architects, engineers, developers, consultants, and anyone professionally involved in the design industry to participate in this event.
