About this edition

Iconic façades require all the stake holders to strike the right balance between a host of parameters from conceiving the correct design to specifying the optimum materials and finally putting them together in place to materialise the epochal building envelope. With ever increasing population density and destinations getting farther and farther, a trend of mixed - use developments is catching up fast in the Delhi NCR Metropolis. Integrating the lines between residential and commercial and obliterating the differences is the latest challenge.

The 3rd season of Zak World of Façades, now returning to New Delhi, brings together a horde of new and efficient façade materials and technologies to entice the minds of the designers and users alike whereby the industry stalwarts shall try to bridge the gap between proposed and practical.

Zak World of Façades conference is determined to propagate awareness on the newest cutting edge technology and perspectives that are revolutionising the field of façade design & engineering. The conference lays bare a platform for networking, necessary in the professional world.

A not to be missed event for exclusive business opportunities, including a dedicated display area exhibiting new perspectives on building skins and material technologies for the contemporary façades of India.

Organized by Zak, this will be a part of the build-up to the mega exhibitions on Glass, Windows & Façade and Aluminium Extrusions to be held in Mumbai from the 10-13 December 2015.

Zak invites you to World of Façades – an interactive seminar focused on showcasing the best technology and practices for the Indian façade industry.
