Skidmore Owings & Merrill will focus its presentation at GPD Cuba 2016 on architectural glass in emerging economies.
Architect Keith Boswell from Skidmore Owings & Merrill will discuss how to maintain the delicate balance of local indigenous architectural character and sense of place with the need to provide new construction to provide contemporary buildings. This is a challenge facing many of the emerging economies around the world. Delivering new buildings that are harmonious with legacy buildings requires design sensitivity. Examples of projects are presented that utilize architectural glass resulting in design that is modern, classic and timeless.
