Facades+ New York City returns April 4-5. This year’s program will be led by Henning Larsen’s New York office. The event was co-hosted by Design Director Daniel Baumann; Sebastian Hoffmeister, Senior Associate; and Kritika Kharbanda, the firm’s Chief Sustainability Specialist.
Achieving Sustainability in New York City
Facades+ New York will kick off with a session hosted by Rohit T. Aggarwala, Chief Climate Officer of the City of New York, who will provide an update on the Adams Administration’s climate initiatives, including the latest version of PlaNYC and implementation of Local Law 97 – New York City Government Building Emissions Regulations – coming into effect in early 2024.
Link: Designing high-performance facades for life sciences
Leaders of the project team at One Milestone, a research campus under development in Boston, will take the stage to share the high-level coordination and complex problem-solving required for such a large project. The panel included Rustom Cowasjee, managing director of Tishman Speyer; Bryan Scheib, senior project leader at Studio Gang; Marc Simmons, founder of Front; and Sebastian Hofmeister, senior associate at Henning Larsen. The project consists of two separate buildings designed by Studio Gang and Henning Larsen. Panelists will discuss the technical design of the façade system as well as aesthetic considerations – how to create two unique yet complementary structures.
From the High Line to the Skyline: The Design and Construction of The Spiral’s 66 Rooftops
Late last year, Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) celebrated the completion of The Spiral, the office’s first supertall building in Manhattan’s New Hudson Yards neighborhood. The building is also novel in its approach to zoning setbacks—an approach that has defined Manhattan’s skyline since the landmark 1916 zoning resolution. Rather than taking the standard wedding cake approach – abruptly retreating the shell at each height requirement – the spiral building gradually implements the zoning requirements with a series of climbing terraces on each level of the tower.
Dominyka Voelkle, BIG partner and project architect for The Spiral, will discuss waterproofing and cladding of the tower shell, as well as the complex structural challenges of connecting each floor to the outdoor terraces.
Embodied carbon accounting: past, present and future
The event’s keynote address will be delivered by Stacy Smedley, executive director of Building Transparency and co-founder of the Construction Carbon Calculator (EC3). Stacey will discuss the evolution of specific carbon tracking and policies, how companies share information and collaborate, and what the future holds for materials transparency in supply chains.
Domino Sugar: The Transformation of the Williamsburg Skyline
The adaptive reuse of Williamsburg’s iconic Domino Sugar Factory—one of Brooklyn’s most high-profile projects—was completed last year by architects from the Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU). In a unique approach to reuse, PAU decided to install a 10-foot-tall curtain wall within the shell of a former factory. In this configuration, the structure’s original masonry is given a second life as a shading device for the inner envelope. PAU Principal Ruchika Modi will join Silman Principal Pat Arnett to share the complex structural and construction techniques required to realize the design.
Celebrating Sustainable Skylines: The Art and Science of Façade Innovation
When designing facade systems, designers and engineers have an obligation to balance sustainability with the other primary functions of the envelope: namely, aesthetic concerns and its function as a barrier. This roundtable brings together AEC industry leaders to discuss collaboration between the professions and the future of high-performance systems. Panelists include co-chair Kritika Kharbanda; Dominick Fortuna, mechanical specialist, Turner Construction Company; Vishwadeep Deo, vice president, Thornton Tomasetti; Samuel Berrigan, curtain wall engineer, Arup; Darryl Door Daryll Mendoza, pre-construction manager at Clark Pacific.
