Program:
- The Urban Burb: The contradiction and complexity of performance based design in building a mega-campus in today’s Urban “Burb”
- Resiliency + Performance + Health – Designing Exterior Envelopes for the New Frontier of Sustainability
- Lamplighter School: Response through Detail
Extra Credit Lunch and Learn After Facades+AM
Program
The rapidly developing technology of high-performance facades has emerged as the key to building integration, and central to the realization of resilient buildings and a sustainable built environment. The building skin combines attributes of appearance and performance like nothing else in architecture. There is much to discuss. We invite you to join the conversation as we bring this forum back to Dallas.

2. Resiliency + Performance + Health – Designing Exterior Envelopes for the New Frontier of Sustainability
With an increase of acute weather events, newly adopted energy codes and rising need for material assessments, designing facades in Texas has taken on a new set of design criteria to drive sustainability. This panel will discuss how such practices would benefit the threshold of the building skin through a series of case-studies and discussion upon each criteria’s clear importance, including the benefits and obstacles. Lastly, panelists will discuss how one might prioritize this criteria or strive to incorporate the trifecta in sustainability today!

3. Lamplighter School: Response through Detail
As Dallas aims to preserve its young history, projects within the core of the city are being challenged further to preserve the characteristics of place with which they are responding to. The Lamplighter School is the latest, honoring the legacy of the existing campus architecture as well as the school’s mission. In this panel we will look at, from concept and detail to construction, the design of the new Barn and Innovation Lab’s key responses to client, site, context, and history..

1. Facade Futures: Computation and the Amplification of Design
Computational design leverages new ways of thinking and making to expand creative potential. This amplification of the design process can catalyze imagination, drive meaningful exploration, and create for new possibilities in architecture. Panelists examine how current computational practices go beyond optimization, form-making, and analysis to more exploratory ways for designers to iterate and envision building envelopes in transformative projects.

1. Digital Design and Fabrication Frontiers
Building facades have evolved throughout the years from empirically-based, load-bearing, mass masonry facades, to modern, lightweight and with an immeasurable variety of geometric and material configurations. But how do we efficiently analyze and engineer these complex geometries to balance technical performance requirements with aesthetics, constructability, and cost? Hear about new techniques for fabrication that are just hitting the market and what is coming on the horizon.
