Facade Tectonics 2024 World Congress

Face Time | Building Ecology: Facade Design for the Real World

FTI Facades Week and FTI 2024 World Congress are on, and it's going to be stupendous!

The Facade Tectonics Institute's biennial World Congress, hosted October 8-10, 2024, at the University of Utah College of Architecture and Planning, gathers the built environment’s most influential players to discuss advancements revolutionizing the design and delivery of the building skin.
