2015 AIBC Annual Conference: Architectural Composites

Architectural Composites
October 30, 2015 – 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m.

Kreysler and Associates is a custom fabrication shop specializing in architectural composites, large scale artwork, and digital fabrication. Since its founding in 1981 in California they have been building composite forms and structures for a diverse range of clients and applications over the years such as sets for Star Wars, sculptures for Claes Oldenburg, fish tanks for the Monterey Bay Aquarium, acoustic panels for concert halls, and increasingly, building facades. As building codes are starting to catch up, and digital design tools become more widespread which are essential for the management of the complex forms that take advantage of these materials, the doors are rapidly opening to building with fiberglass and other composites.
