Doha Hosts Facade Design and Engineering Middle East Summit

Doha, January 20 (QNA) - Doha will play host to the fifth edition of the Facade Design and Engineering Middle East Summit to be held from 25-26 February 2013. The two-day event will bring together building design gurus, construction planning, strategy virtuosos and trend-setting architects. It takes place at a time when newly-introduced legislative changes to building code in Qatar are set to confluence with Doha's status of a fertile breeding ground for cutting-edge architecture. Featuring a kaleidoscope of conference sessions, case studies, technology updates, and networking, this annual summit is a great opportunity for experts to gain insight about the increasing innovations within the construction and architectural industry. The Summit will address integrating technology with architecture, designing stadiums with a national identity, and complying with local regulations in a presentation titled 'Designing futuristic sports structures in preparations for the FIFA World CUP 2022'. Further presentations and case studies will circumvent a broad canvas of key topics; energy-efficient facade designs, acoustic performance of facades, facade lighting designs and media facades, green building practices in facade architecture, eco facade engineering, and more. "The 5th Annual Facade Design and Engineering Middle East Summit is a not-to-be-missed event for any building design and engineering industry representative, whether a new entrant or veteran. The bigger and expanded 2013 edition reinforces its identity as an event that forms the ultimate facade for an industry whose exterior is ready to develop even more in 2013 and years ahead," said Tanya Sydorenko, Senior Conference Director, IQPC.
