The Architect's Newspaper’s Facades+ conference series has traveled to cities across North America for 13 years, highlighting developments in building envelope design through engaging presentations from industry-leading professionals. AN Senior Program Associate Trevor Schillaci works on up to 15 of these conferences annually, and has noticed a thing or two about what is trending. For 2025, he has pinpointed aesthetic fads, new technologies, and methodologies, as well as important developments in the push for sustainability that facade followers—and leaders—need to know.
