On Wednesday, April 21 at 2:00 PM EDT, GKD-USA, Cambridge, Md., will be hosting a complimentary webinar entitled “See and Be Seen: Understanding Transparent Media Facades.” The webinar will feature information and commentary from some of GKD’s top mediatecture experts who will discuss how transparent media facades can transform architecture and the process behind the unique technology. Developed as an alternative to conventional designs for electronic facades, GKD developed transparent media facades to take design to a new level. Valued for their superior aesthetics and durability, as well as low-energy LED light displays and daylighting capabilities, transparent media facades benefit any application. Turning architecture into a vivid experience without dominating the building itself, the medialized skin of transparent media facades completely adapts to the architecture – remaining attractive even without illumination. “Incorporating media facades into architecture adds another dimension to a building, helping architects create something extraordinary,” said Tom Powley, President of GKD. “This webinar will provide architects with more information about the capabilities of transparent media facades and the process behind our technology. GKD-USA looks forward to sharing our knowledge and experience about these types of advanced façades.” Listen as GKD experts discuss how transparent media facades allow high-quality images to be displayed even in daylight conditions without hindering design. And ultimately, how media facades can enhance the design of a building. To register, please go to www2.gotomeeting.com/register/162349427. For more information, visit www.gkdmetalfabrics.com.
