Presenters from Bates Smart, an Australian architecture office, will showcase their work on Australia’s new embassy in Washington D.C. Inspired by the color palette of the Outback, the facade of the building was clad with copper panels. To prevent the panels from oxidizing, and turning green, the team applied a protective coating to the facade that will have to be waxed every five-to-ten years to maintain its efficacy. The team will also discuss the copper-claddings integration with window openings as well as programmatic challenges related to the embassy typology.
10:30 AM – 11:15 AM
This roundtable with leading building materials manufacturers will discuss the advanced materials newly available and just around the corner. Learn how architects can work together with manufacturers to build with the latest, most up-to-date technologies, code requirements, and products, and hear what’s next for the industry.
11:15 – 11:45 AM
11:45 – 12:15 PM
12:15 – 12:45 PM
In this panel, attendees will learn about the advanced building envelope products and services that are transforming the AEC industry. These advancements allow designers, engineers, and contractors to work smarter, build better, and realize their design intent.
12:45 – 1:45 PM
1:45 – 2:15 PM
Table Talks is an opportunity to have a guided conversation with your peers in the Seattle AEC community. During this 45-minute session, fellow attendees offer an excellent opportunity to network, exchange insights on facades, and collaboratively tackle complex challenges within a group dynamic. We hope this session will be surprising, engaging, and productive.
2:15 – 3:00 PM
Leading construction firms of the area will convene to discuss the trajectory of construction and fabrication, including new trends in technology, sustainability, and circularity. As a significant driver of energy consumption and operational carbon, the building envelope is at the forefront of every green-building project. Led by local experts in the field, this roundtable will propose practical solutions for envelope efficiency which attendees will be able to implement in their own practice. Topics will include the use of high-performance cladding and alternative materials, advanced systems for temperature regulation, as well as strategies for sustainable sourcing.
