DALLAS OCTOBER 30 + 31 2014

A Message from the Facades+ Partners Welcome to the inaugural Dallas Facades+ conference, symposium, and workshops. The first Facades+ event was hosted in New York City in early 2012, and inspired an ongoing series that, with the Dallas event, will have traversed the nation three times. Each event has grown equally in anticipation, excitement, and participation. This year we touched down in New York City and Chicago before wrapping up the year here in Dallas. We are excited to bring Facades+ to the Great State of Texas! Introducing a novel event at a new venue to a fresh city is both a great challenge and pleasure. We are confident that you will find Facades+ an engaging experience, and that together we will create the same intensity of thought, experience, and dialogue that has inspired our past gatherings. Once again, our volunteer conference chairs, chosen from among your peers, have curated a brilliant speaker program of notable practitioners from various sectors of the AEC industry. These speakers have been very deliberately selected because of their ability to further the Facades+ dialogue, and not because they have paid a fee for the privilege of speaking to you; Facades+ is not a “pay-to-play” conference, and we work diligently to keep the program focused on deep technical content and free from promotional interests. That said, we have a select group of industry-leading sponsors that have stepped up to make Facades+ the success it has become. They have a high profile at the conference venue, and we encourage all of you to spend some time with them and see what they are up to; they have been included as sponsors because they are playing a leading role in the step-change currently underway in building façade technology. This year our theme is resilience, a term that has been referred to as the new green, and the successor to sustainability. While we interpret our themes in the broadest possible context, we will explore this term, attempting to promote definition beyond the ambiguity of such related vocabulary as sustainability, green, and high-performance. Resilience has come into prominence in the wake of widespread natural disasters of increasing frequency and impact, swelling in the AEC lexicon like a storm surge, and while many grapple for understanding as to a concise meaning, the Facades+ events have embraced the term in a robust dialogue that covers all things building skin and beyond. We are excited to bring this dialogue to Dallas, a city that dates its sustainability efforts back to the 1950s and a focus by city leaders on future water supply, a concern with ever increasing relevance in our emerging future. Even as we share in the enthusiasm for this Dallas event, we are planning our upcoming events for a new year, commencing with a dynamic collaboration bringing together Facades+ with the University of Southern California’s Façade Tectonics to form a unique Los Angeles conference event we are calling Facades+Tectonics. Lock in the date February 5th and 6th, 2015, for what promises to be the most vibrant building façade related conference event of all time! And, of course, we will be returning to our anchor venue in New York City, scheduled for April 16-17, 2015. We will be announcing our other 2015 conference locations soon, so keep an eye out and plan your schedules accordingly. As always, we are very much interested in your thoughts on how we might improve the Facades+ experience and assure your continued participation in our future programs. Talk to us. And please spread the word to join the Facade+ dialogue! WWW.FACADESPLUS.COM

Build with Dynamo Introducing Computational BIM

Visual Dynamo is a visual programming environment for Building Information Modeling (BIM) that extends the parametric capabilities of Revit with data and logic. The power of this computational BIM tool is that it enables designers to explore new shapes based on rational data tightly integrated with the model so that all geometry is usable during construction documentation. Sharable Dynamo’s tight integration with BIM tools such as Autodesk Revit creates a fluid relationship between building concept, design development, construction documentation, fabrication, and operation. Users are free to iterate on ideas and re-imagine at all the stages of a project’s development. Dynamo enables sharing and reuse of commonly executed workflows between team members or within a larger community. Open Dynamo is an open-source technology that can be customized and extended in a variety of ways to meet your firm’s needs. Join the Dynamo community to find like-minded professionals who are combining computational design & building information modeling.
