This Week> Facades+AM Washington Three by Three

With its combination of iconic references to the nation’s past and the machinery that drives our political present, Washington, DC presents a particular set of problems and possibilities to facades innovators. Top experts in high-performance building envelope design and construction will this gather this Thursday, March 5, to explore some of these issues during Facades+ AM: Washington Three by Three, a morning seminar taking place at the District Architecture Center.

Facades+ AM is a quick-take variation on the popular Facades+ conference series. Over the course of the morning, three panels of three experts and one moderator each will take up questions concerning facade design and construction in the nation’s capital. Session one, “Design Opportunities in a Blast Resistant World,” moderated by Steve White, president of AIA DC, will consider how innovative designs can flourish despite security restrictions.

Washington Post columnist and University of Maryland professor emeritus Roger Lewis will moderate session two, “Innovative Facades Come to Washington,” highlighting cutting-edge facades in the DC area.

Session three, “The New Face of Monumental Washington,” moderated by Washington Architectural Foundation president Janet Bloomberg, will describe the role played high-performance building envelopes in both old and new monuments. Mark Strauss, senior partner at FXFOWLE, and AN‘s editor-in-chief William Menking will deliver opening and closing remarks.
