Catherine Houska is back with a new version of her popular workshop: Advanced Stainless Steel Architectural Design. The leading consultant brings us up to date on how to choose the right stainless steel for your architectural application. Register for this one-day workshop at the Center for Architecture in lower Manhattan and:
• Learn how to specify finishes for uniform appearance and avoid common problems with finish matching, flatness and durability. Learn which standards to use and how to tighten them, both to avoid problems and achieve your aesthetic goals.
• Learn how using stainless steel helps conserve resources: why sunscreens, roofs and curtain walls can reduce energy and maintenance requirements when properly detailed. Review how to assess the corrosion performance of 304, 316, and duplex grade specifications and why their use should vary with the application and service environment.
• Learn why stainless steel is increasingly being used for both cutting-edge and practical applications in the world’s newest transit facilities and in the expanding array of aesthetic possibilities. Become familiar with all the factors that can impact performance so that you can avoid the common, embarrassing mistakes. See project examples of how finish selection and design principles have been applied in award-winning and everyday new construction and refurbishment projects to create stunning results.
