Sustainable Architecture
October 25, 2007 -- Understanding why using stainless steel helps conserve
resources, improve air and water quality, and minimize construction waste and its need for landfill is one of
the topics to be discussed at a one-day workshop for architects in New York City, November 14, 2007.
Presented by the Ornamental Metal Institute of New York and sponsored by the Nickel Institute and the
International Molybdenum Association, the workshop is entitled "Designing and Specifying Stainless
Steel".
It will provide valuable training for architects, structural engineers, specifiers, fabricators, erectors and
building owners.
Catherine Houska, a leading international expert on the use of stainless steel in architecture and a
consultant for the Nickel Institute, and Kirk Wilson, a structural engineer experienced in bridge and
building design will present.
The following eight subject areas will be presented in fast-paced sessions, beginning with the aesthetic,
environmental and practical reasons for using stainless steel, and continuing through design, specification,
problem avoidance and fabrication fundamentals. Case studies of award-winning projects from around the world
will be used to highlight optimal long-term performance and to illustrate how these design, specification and
fabrication principles were successfully applied:
1. Sustainable Stainless Steel Design
2. Design, Selection & Maintenance
3. Stainless Steel Finishes
4. Fabrication
5. Interior Applications
6. Exterior Applications
7. Roofing Systems
8. Structural Applications
