FTI forward: Student forum on facades carbon 2025

Hosted by Facade Tectonics Institute

Calling all students, emerging professionals, and building industry thought leaders!

FTI FORWARD is a platform where students and emerging professionals shake up the status quo on facades and all things carbon. In this event, students from SCI-Arc, UCLA, USC, Woodbury and CalPoly initiate a dialogue at the intersection of facades, carbon, and circularity. Grad and undergrad students share educational experiences and research trajectories aimed at accelerating change toward resilient and sustainable buildings and urban habitat. Emerging professionals, representatives from local universities, and others will join the conversation.

Join the fun!
