Using composites in architecture will be the topic of a one day conference in Denver,\u00a0“A Vision for the Future of Composites in Architecture – Where We Go From Here, and Why” May 15, 2013. The day will feature a keynote address by visionary architect and designer Greg Lynn<\/strong>, and an impressive lineup of speakers presenting technical insight in-depth.\u00a0 All sessions have been approved by AIA, for a total of 7 hours of LU\/HSW continuing education credit.<\/p>\n

This first-time emphasis on the use of this rapidly emerging material system for architectural applications is part of the ACMA\u2019s (American Composites Manufacturers Association) semi-annual Corrosion & Construction conference, focused on the long-standing use of composites for highly corrosion resistant systems and infrastructure applications.<\/p>\n

2. Composites From a Code Official\u2019s View: Specific Requirements and Allowances; What inspectors look for or ought to look for when reviewing applications where combustible materials are involved.
\nSpeaker: Doug Evans<\/strong>, PE, FSFPE, Fire Protection Engineer for Clark County Nevada<\/p>\n

3. The Reaction to Fire Characteristics of Building Materials and Evaluating Fire Code Compliance: The science of fire performance vs. prescriptive codes; when, where, how and why.
\nSpeaker: Nick Dembse<\/strong>y, PhD, PE, FPE, Professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute<\/p>\n

4. What the Building\/Construction Market Can Learn From Composites Use in Other Industries; Uses of composites in structural and decorative applications: A cross-industry comparison.
