SOM Uses Interdisciplinary Collaboration to Design Innovative Facade Systems

On September 21, Facades+ is coming to Chicago for the first time in three years. The conference features moderators and speakers of leading firms from across the country. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill—the architecture and engineering firm that has called Chicago home for over 80 years—will have a particularly strong presence at the upcoming conference.

To learn more about what Chicago’s largest firm is up to and to investigate larger industry trends, AN sat down with SOM’s Dan O’Riley, associate director, and Lucas Tryggestad, technical director.
