Event Program

8:30-8:45 AM – Introduction by Gary Higbee, AIA, Director of Industry Development, Ornamental Metal Institute of New York
8:45-9:30 AM – Keynote – Vivian Loftness, FAIA, University Professor and Paul Mellon Chair in Architecture, Carnegie Mellon University presents “Reinventing Facades for Resiliency, Health and Productivity”
Dynamic building facades are the key to resiliency, energy and water resources as well as to human health and productivity. It is time to fully set aside the static façade – be it all glass or windowless, punched or striped with openings. This presentation will introduce the human and environmental benefits of dynamic facades. Dynamic facades can ensure daylight without glare, natural ventilation in collaboration with mechanical systems, shading without the loss of biophilic views, facades that load balance from core to perimeter and day to night, and facades that integrate HVAC and renewable energies. The benefits can be captured in the triple bottom line – a dramatic change in decision-making that truly reflects financial capital, environmental capital and human capital. International research reveals a breadth of gains for energy, carbon and environmental quality as well as gains for the human visual, endocrine, respiratory, and musculo-skeletal systems. The design of the next generation of dynamic, high performance facades is truly critical to long term environmental quality as well as to human health, productivity and future aspirations.
9:30-10:00 AM – Approaches to Integrated Facades –Phillip Anzalone, AIA, Professor of Architectural Technology, New York City College of Technology – CUNY
Phillip Anzalone, AIA, Professor of Architectural Technology, New York City College of Technology – CUNY, will review case studies from around the world to illustrate the different strategies employed in facades that enhance health and well being for building occupants.
