Glass as a material has widespread technological, decorative and practical uses. Its list of properties and capabilities has allowed glass to impact modern architecture in a way that distinguishes it from other building materials, resulting in high-performing facades and unique experiences for its occupants. Glass is the material of choice to enhance spaces where people live, play, learn, work and heal.

Architects have always pushed the limits of what building products can do, and fire rated glazing is no exception. This program shows how fire rated glazing has evolved from small doorlites and openings using wired glass and ceramics to floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall, multi-tasking fire resistive glazing systems.

Restarting schools can be a catalyst to help us refocus our educational values – to engage students, teach relevant 21st century skills, and expand our ideas of teaching to encompass lifelong learning in the workforce. Remote learning and socially distanced classrooms are only the first steps to re-start education.

Sturdy, strong, and sustainable metal wall and roof panels are known for their durable and green features. Metal is almost unbeatable among building materials for its recyclable properties, and metal walls and roofs contribute to reduced energy consumption, as their well-known cool roofing properties reflect heat energy and absorb less heat, keeping buildings cooler and reducing air-conditioning costs.
This course introduces the learner to stunning designs featuring the use of glass and the intersection of architecture, resiliency and the community. Listen as presenters explore the social dimension of resilient design through the lens of these current projects.

This course takes a look at the well-known issue of noise in healthcare environments, particularly as it affects sleep. In addition, we will look at the efficiency of hospital layouts around the topic of walkability, and lastly, we’ll discuss new approaches to healthcare facility design, including the new trend of bringing outpatient services to retail centers.

Wood, one of the oldest construction materials, is undergoing a high-tech makeover. Architects are increasingly looking to timber for its ability to store carbon, but also for its compatibility with digital design, sophisticated engineering, and precision fabrication. Join Architectural Record and a panel of experts to explore timber projects making the most of these techniques to push structural limits, create unexpected forms, and reinterpret craft.
The building sector is the world’s single largest emitter of Green House Gases (GHGs), accounting for 30-40% of total global GHG emissions. Although operational emissions account for more of a building's carbon footprint over its entire life, between now and 2030, almost 75% of the carbon footprint of that 900 Billion square feet will be embodied carbon, NOT operational emissions. Embodied carbon will be responsible for almost half of total new construction emissions between now and 2050.

Along with the many benefits of glass entrances come unique challenges. This course covers current trends in glass entrance design and key considerations for hardware in all types of applications. Attendees will get an overview of specification criteria to ensure openings are in compliance with fire, life safety, accessibility, and other building code requirements, all while meeting the project’s design intent.
