A Message from the Facades+ Director
Welcome to Facades+Dallas! This year we are celebrating our fifth year of the

expanded to Chicago, Los Angeles, and other cities. We are thrilled to be back Diana Darling
in Dallas, where we welcome both first-timers and return participants to the The Architect’s Newspaper
dynamic dialogue that is Facades+. Conference Director

Dallas is an ideal location for a conversation about high performance build-

ing envelopes. Texas’ challenging climate and booming growth necessitate
innovation and collaboration among AEC industry disciplines. Facades+ Dallas
convenes professionals from multiple fields, including design, development,
fabrication, and academia, to examine the implications of facades trends for the William Menking
Southwest and beyond. The Architect’s Newspaper
Editor-in-Chief
Day 1 of the conference features a series of keynote addresses and panel
Dallas Co-Chair
discussions on topics ranging from retrofits to offshore facades systems. On
day 2, we continue the conversation a small group setting, in hands-on lab and
dialog workshops.

We thank our conference co-chair, Brendan O’Grady from CallisonRTKL, who

has helped to assemble a roster of speakers representing the leading lights of Brendan O’Grady
building envelope design, construction, and research. We urge you to to con- CallisonRTKL
nect with symposium presenters and your peers during networking breaks. We Vice President
also invite you to visit the select industry-leading sponsors in the Methods+Ma- Dallas Co-Chair
terials Gallery that have stepped up to make Facades+ a success; please get to
know them and their role shaping the future of facades technology.

Even as we delight in our return to Dallas, we look ahead to upcoming Fa-

cades+ events, including more two-day conferences and Facades+AM, a
quick-take version of Facades+ held in cities across the United States. Find us OPENING KEYNOTE
