2. The London construction market continues to grow stronger with over 2000 buildings either in
planning, detailed design or under construction, despite Brexit hurdles, the general election and
fire safety issues. Buoyed by the promised and much hyped "Northern Power House", the rest of
the UK is catching up with London, replicating into major developments all over the country.
Recently published data suggest that the construction sector in the UK grew by 0.7% in the first
quarter of 2017 and promisingly indicates to continue for the remainder of the year.
The UK façade industry undoubtedly has come a long way and is now vowing to deliver novel
projects to the world. Right from deploying innovative materials and technologies; designing
creative efficient, sustainable, interactive façades; to constructing façades with complex
geometrical designs and 3D printed elements, the industry leaders are on their toes to make their
projects stand-out.
Continuing with the streak of successfully delivering the Zak World of Façades conferences
across 12 countries, Zak is organizing its 35th global edition and the 1st edition in the UK. The
conference will attract influencers of the building envelope industry to interact and deliberate
upon innovations and technological advancements while finding the solutions to the challenges
impending with large scale projects and of those involving complexities in the design.
The conference will endeavor to help participants understand pragmatic approaches for the
delivery of successful projects economically and within the time frame proposed, disruptions in
façade technologies, geometrical analysis of façades, requirements and potential of façades for
futuristic buildings, digitalization of façades, innovations in glass, façade fire safety, ventilation &
acoustics will be major discussion points through the one day course of the conference and more
importantly ample networking oppourtunity.
Partake in the high-octane discussions at the Zak World of Façades conference, an exclusive
knowledge sharing platform which also doubles as the avenue to identify and tap possible
business opportunities available in the region. Dedicated to the building envelope segment, the
conference will help participants gain industry insights and learn from the boots-on-the-ground
experts of the façade industry.

3. With 1600 existing and 450 buildings under development, London’s construction market is an
island of opportunities, in the sea of potential across the UK market. With a plethora of
brownfield and refurbishing projects, construction industry in the UK is on upward rise and has
witnessed new orders increase by 0.7% in Quarter 1, 2017.

Syed Zakir Ahmed, Chairman, Zak Group
08.55 WHAT WILL DISRUPT THE CURRENT FAÇADE TECHNOLOGY
STATUS QUO?
 Façades have not seen major changes in technology since
curtain walls in the 1950s, point support glazing in the 1980s and
ETFE in 1990s, only improvements of materials and systems
 Change is constant and appears to be accelerating - but not so
quickly in the construction industry
 Will materials, methods and design drivers emerge that will
disrupt the status quo?

10.45 COMPLEX BUILDING FORMS: BEYOND GEOMETRIC ANALYSIS
 Increases in computational power has unlocked the potential for
individually manufactured cladding panels and digital fabrication.
What analysis and systems are available to adopt the complex
more routinely and cost effectively?
 Increases in complexity and cost effectiveness means that we can
not longer rely on worst case designs for analysis. How can we
further automate algorithms for structural analysis to help solve
this problem?
 As regulations for energy use are becoming more stringent, ever
more detail of the building envelope needs to be designed to
perform thermally. How can we inform early stage design of
non-repeating geometry, to optimise the building envelope?
