Event Page:  Facade Tectonics Confirmed Speakers

The building facade system uniquely impacts both performance and appearance
at the combined scales of building and metropolis. The outcome of a new
facade system program or renovation largely determines the lifecycle success
of a building, and together these buildings largely defne the ongoing success
of urban habitat. Nothing in architecture has seen more applied innovation over
recent decades than the building skin. Yet, navigating the implementation of
a contemporary facade system program remains the single most challenging
component of building design and construction. Escalating code requirements,
increasingly complex facade system technology, emerging novel delivery
strategies, convoluted supply chains and a constantly morphing risk environment
combine to challenge the most savvy and experienced design and building
teams. Join us as the Facade Tectonics Institute brings its celebrated Forum to
Miami as thought leaders explore the amplified threats of climate change in this
unique urban context.
