Climate change and other human-caused environmental challenges are driving new approaches to the design of façades, materials, and building systems. To make buildings more resilient and reduce their carbon footprint, architects, engineers, and fabricators are exploring innovative strategies that enable current projects to meet tomorrow's needs.
Our panel discussion will introduce state-of-the-art resources, innovative design influences, and informative case-studies, while providing the diverse perspectives of a metals consultant, a fabricator, and a façade engineer.
Learning Objectives:
- Discover new resources for assessing resilience and sustainability in façade applications.
- Consider the perspectives of a leading consultant, a fabricator, and an engineer on the changes needed to achieve designs that are both resilient and sustainable.
- Acquire knowledge about how the inherent resilience and sustainability of stainless steel is being used in design and how it compares with other metals.
- Discover where stainless steel is being used and the reasons for its selection.
