WELCOME

A Message from the Facades+ Partners

Welcome to our annual New York City Facades+ conference, sympo-sium, and workshops. The inaugural event was hosted in New York City in early 2012 and inspired a conference series that has traversed the nation twice now, with each event growing equally in anticipation, excitement, and participation. We are thrilled to return to NYC in 2014 to launch our 3rd cross-country trek, this year including Chicago in July and Dallas in October. There is, of course, no question that the NYC conference is the premier event of the series! This year we have made the move to a new venue, having simply outgrown the familiar McGraw Hill Conference Center. We are confident that you will like our new home, and that together we will fill this facility with 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 Fa-cades+ 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 facade technology.

This year our theme is resilience, a term that has been referred to as the new green, and the successor of sustainability; a term that has come into prominence in the wake of hurricane Sandy and its dramatic impact on this city and other areas along the eastern seaboard. Resilience has emerged in the AEC lexicon like a storm surge, and while most grapple for understanding as to a concise meaning of the term, New York City, spearheaded by the Resiliency Task Force, has already implemented 16 of 33 proposals related to improving the resilience of urban infrastruc-ture and communities. But what does the term signify with respect to the building skin? In NYC in April the term will enter the evolving dia-logue regarding the building skin, the domain of Facades+. And 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.

Even as we share in the enthusiasm for this New York City event, we are planning our upcoming conferences. July will find us at another new venue in Chicago, the Art Institute, an ideally stimulating environment for a deeper consideration of facade technology. In October, we are ex-cited to take the tour into new territory—we will be hosting a Facades+ conference in Dallas in partnership with Tex-Fab. We are very much interested in your thoughts on how we might improve the event experi-ence, and your continued participation in our future events. Please join the Facade+ dialogue!

VisualDynamo 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.

SharableDynamo’s tight integration with BIM tools such as Autodesk Revit creates a fl uid 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 workfl ows between team members or within a larger community.

OpenDynamo is an open-source technology that can be customized and extended in a variety of ways to meet your fi rm’s needs. Join the Dynamo community to fi nd like-minded professionals who are combining computational design & building information modeling.
