A MESSAGE FROM THE FACADES+ DIRECTOR

WELCOME

WELCOME TO FACADES+ LOS ANGELES! The Architect’s Newspaper is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of our publication, and the 11th year of Facades+. We are thrilled to welcome both new attendees and longtime supporters to the program’s dynamic dialogue. We bring fresh and relevant programming to each city, and have an exceptional group of projects and enclosure systems for you to learn about today.

Facades+ Los Angeles brings together top professionals from the worlds of design, engineering, fabrication, and construction to consider how highperformance envelopes are evolving and transforming the built environment in Los Angeles and across the US while responding to changing codes, climates, technologies, programs, and client expectations.

I’d like to thank our conference co-chairs, Stan Su, Mark Motonaga, and Sebastian Salvado of RIOS who have brought together this amazing program of design leaders.

We invite you to connect with presenters and your peers during networking breaks in the Methods+Materials Gallery.
