Cutting Edge Global Façade Design Trends Explored at 3rd Facades Design and Delivery Summit

Oct. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- New York, NY – Infrastructure IQ, a division of IQPC, announces the Façades Design and Delivery 2012 Summit, to be held January 23 to 25, 2012 in New York City. The Summit brings together the nation’s most innovative and prestigious firms to share insights on facades engineering, the latest innovative materials and cutting edge designs, new developments in energy efficiency as well as case studies that demonstrate how to overcome challenges in design and delivery.  

The essential role of the building envelope - providing shelter, form and image - can be expanded to significantly improve building performance, including major reductions in energy use. Looking at current trends in global design, planning and sustainability, Mark Perepelitza, Associate Partner at ZGF Architects, noted that European architects are “very much working within a culture that approaches buildings and conditioned interior space in a fundamentally different way than we do in North America.”  

The Façades Design and Delivery 2012 Summit brings international case studies from global projects to North America, giving insights into effective applications of high-performance integrated façades.  The full interview with Mark Perepelitza on Climate / Envelope / Energy Performance Innovations from Europe is available here:
