HOK’s Stephen Weinryb will participate on the panel “Delegating Design: Aligning Expectations and Managing Risk with Delegated-Design Delivery Strategy” at Facade Tectonics Forum: NYC.
As facade design escalates in complexity to meet increasingly stringent energy codes and demanding performance and aesthetic requirements, the old model of design-bid-build becomes increasingly flawed. New strategies of project delivery are emerging in response, among them a facade system delivery process referred to as “delegated-design.” This discussion will explore the pros and cons of delegating the design and engineering of the facade system to the contractors who fabricate and install them.
