Testimonials
Big thank you to AN’s Facades + Boston and industry partners for an inspirational day packed with inspiring stories, projects, and design excellence for reuse, resilience, health, sustainability, performance, renewal, and community!
I had the pleasure of participating in a panel at Facades+ focused on sustainability and real estate development. The conference provided a unique platform to exchange ideas and insights beyond the traditional architectural perspective. I truly valued the opportunity to learn from the diverse array of professionals present.
This year’s Facades+ LA event was impressive. It was a gathering of people seeking knowledge about the integration of environmental excellence in our industry and the work we need to do. Congratulations on the Facades + team and their efforts at putting together an amazing event.
Facades+ LA has been an invaluable platform fostering a network of facade and sustainability-minded professionals, offering unparalleled insights and strategies that elevate our collective commitment to environmentally-conscious and inspiring building envelopes.
Facades + NYC was a great day filled with engaging discussions and presentations. The keynote on carbon reduction and regenerative design was insightful and a wake-up-call to the architecture profession on the environmental and social impact of our work. Facades+ delivers transformative ideas for the profession.
Facades+ is a great event and the presentations are always very informative. This is my second year attending and I learned something meaningful on both occasions.
Facades+ continues to be the premier event for architects with interesting product showcases and well curated lectures by leaders in the industry!
The FACADES+ conference offers architectural participants at all levels of experience great opportunities. Recent graduates learn from experts and develop a basic understanding of facade issues to share with their colleagues. Seasoned professionals contribute to the development of a richer facade design vocabulary within the profession.
Over the past 12 years, Facades+ has evolved into a vital voice within the facades industry. Facades+ continues to provide a much needed forum for facade geeks and created a vibrant community we so desperately needed.
