Performance-Based Façade Design (PBFD)

Performance-Based Façade Design (PBFD) brings together global professionals to explore the future of façade design, fostering innovation, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. It goes beyond the technical aspects of façade design to examine how companies, developers, and industry leaders shape their external presence, credibility, and influence. Interactive discussions and activities act as catalysts for developing technical solutions within the industry. Given the niche nature of the event, participants can interact closely and drive innovation forward. Through exclusive seminars, workshops, and interactive discussions, participants engage in best practices, emerging technologies, and sustainability-driven design strategies. Since its inception in 2023, PBFD has established Venice as a global hub for façade innovation. Each edition expands its impact, featuring thought leadership, AI-driven design advancements, circular economy approaches, and hands-on experiences such as façade testing and architectural site visits. This initiative serves as a pivotal platform for experts at the forefront of innovation across companies and associations involved in façade design, consulting, manufacturing, testing, and standardization. PBFD unites global experts to advance façade design, driving innovation, collaboration, and industry influence. Join us as we redefine the future of façades.
