Facades+ is a premier conference series focused on high-performance building enclosures. It brings together architects, engineers, façade consultants, contractors, and manufacturers to discuss advancements in façade technology, design, and engineering.
Tommaso Bitossi along side Tobias Keyl from gmp Architekten will speak at Facades+ New York City on Friday, April 4th. They will share insights on global solutions for climate-responsive facades and how global projects of gmp Architekten and Transsolar react to local conditions in various ways.
With an eye towards adapting cutting-edge global solutions for North American settings, their workshop offers a comprehensive and compelling study of diverse façade typologies across a range of global contexts. Through an exploration of these design solutions’ response to local climate conditions, attendees will learn how these conditions correspond to similar environments found across North America, and how similar advanced climate-responsive façade design techniques can be applied in North American markets. Showcasing examples of built facades in Asia, Africa, and Europe, the presentation offers a valuable opportunity to investigate how responses to location-specific environmental conditions drive sustainable systems that reduce overall energy consumption or even create building envelopes that actively generate energy.
