Join us for the 2023 Architectural Ceramic Assemblies Workshop (ACAW) Symposium on Thursday, August 17 at 12:00pm (EST) followed by a closing keynote from Orel Samson, Senior Manager – Construction, Allied Properties REIT.
Now in its eighth year, the ACAW is the paramount venue for innovation in architectural terra cotta. Presentations will share design studies ten months in the making from eight professional teams who have developed terra cotta solutions for a variety of architectural applications.
ACAW is a collaborative workshop that brings together industry professionals and academia in the field of architecture. Hosted by Boston Valley Terra Cotta, in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University School of Architecture and the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning, ACAW aims to enhance the understanding of terra cotta as a building material and its role in shaping future architectural designs. By engaging architects, façade engineers, educators, and students, ACAW fosters knowledge sharing and hands-on experience in the development of terra cotta wall assemblies. The ACAW 2023 Symposium, held on August 17, 2023, celebrates the conclusion of the annual event with a live project showcase of teams’ presentations and panel discussions of their visual prototype terra cotta assemblies.
