WELCOME TO FACADES+ SEATTLE!

The Architect’s Newspaper is celebrating 13 Years of Facades+ Conferences. We are thrilled to welcome both new attendees and longtime facades fanatics to today’s dynamic event. We bring fresh and relevant programming to each city, and have an exceptional group of projects, people, and expertise for you to learn about today.

Facades+ Seattle brings together top professionals from the worlds of design, engineering, fabrication, and construction to consider how high-performance envelopes are evolving and transforming the built environment across North America, and are responding to changing codes, climates, technologies, and client needs in the Pacific Northwest.

I’d like to thank our amazing conference co-chairs, Tim Meyers & Charlotte Jolly and their team at ZGF who have brought together today’s program of design leaders. We invite you to connect with the presenters and your peers during networking breaks in the Methods+Materials Gallery and throughout the event.

Please get to know our sponsors exhibiting in the Methods+Materials Gallery today and learn how they will help you shape the future of facade design and technology.

Has Facades+ struck a chord with you? Have a look at our upcoming events held in 15 cities across the U.S. & Canada. Visit our website to learn more about our other events and additional opportunities to earn your CEU's.
