A Message from the Facades+ Director

Welcome to Facades+ NYC! The Architect’s Newspaper kicks off our fifth year of the Facades+ conference series, which began here in 2012 and has since touched down in Chicago, Dallas, L.A., Miami, Seattle, and other cities. We are pleased to welcome first-timers and original participants alike to the program’s dynamic dialog. We strive to bring fresh and relevant program-ming to each city, and have enjoyed the loyalty of our “facade geeks” who attend every event and come from around the globe to attend Facades+.

New York is at the center of innovation across the AEC industry, from experi-ments with new materials to resilience strategies and smart city technologies. Facades+ NYC brings together top professionals from the worlds of design, fabrication, and construction to consider how high performance envelopes contribute to and are shaped by the Big Apple’s architectural priorities.

Thursday’s Symposium kicks off with keynote addresses and panel discus-sions on topics ranging from Hudson Yards’ cutting-edge designs to crafts-manship in digital fabrications. On Friday, we delve into hands-on lab and dialog workshops with expert practitioners.

We’d like to thank our conference co-chair, KPF’s James von Klemperer, who has helped curate a program of innovators 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 these indus-try-leading sponsors in the Methods+Materials Gallery and learn how they shape the future of building facade technology.

Has Facades+ struck a chord with you? Have a look at our other 2016 events, including more two-day conferences and Facades+AM, a quick-take version of Facades+ held in cities across the country.

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 continue to grow the Facades+ dialogue!

Diana DarlingConference Director

A Message from the Mayor of New York City

Dear Friends:

It is a great pleasure to welcome everyone to the Facades+ Conference.

There is no better place to experience the history of urban design than New York City. From our soaring modern skyscrapers to our iconic cultural institutions, our city’s built environment is known around the world for its in-novation, efficiency, and creativity. We are proud of our reputation as an ar-chitectural mecca, and that is why we are delighted to once again welcome Facades+ to our city. Drawing architects, engineers, developers, students, and other industry professionals from around the world, this conference will focus on the latest trends in building skins and encourage collaboration and innovation through workshops, lectures, and networking opportunities. I am delighted to commend Facades+ and all those in attendance for their lead-ership and support of the design industry, and I look forward to their work helping us build a more resilient, more sustainable future.

On behalf of all New Yorkers, I offer my best wishes for a productive confer-ence, continued success, and an enjoyable stay in our great city.
