How do building products get on the building? This webinar goes behind the scenes to explain the flow of design, specification, supply chain and install of the project’s glazing. The architect, glass manufacturer, fabricator and glazier share the collaboration required to help ensure the right glass goes in, in the right way, at the right time and delivers the right aesthetic and performance. The presentation will convey how the design, specification, supply chain and install all come together, and the collaboration required to ensure all parties have value and get value. At the end of the presentations, we will have time for a Q&A session with the presenters to discuss key points from the webinar.
This webinar will feature the team behind the stunning Amaris project. Forming a terminus to a row of buildings in The Wharf development of Washington D.C., Amaris is a mixed-use residential building designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects with a unique form that maximizes views, allows daylight deep within each residential unit, and creates a recognizable and distinctive form along the Potomac River waterfront.
A combination of flat glass and cold bent glass helps the sweeping curtain wall of Amaris at The Wharf illustrate how glazing can create a stunning architectural effect, while a neutral aesthetic with brilliant clarity delivers excellent solar performance to keep residents comfortable. The project achieved LEED® Silver certification.
At the end of the dynamic presentation presented by Jac Selinsky, AIA, Alan Kinder, Director, Adam Webb, and Will Pounds, there will be a brief Q&A session to discuss key points from the webinar.
