Performance Based Facade Design: Technology Meets Nature

September 11 - 12, 2025 | Auditorium Santa Margherita | Venice, Italy

sedak is proud sponsor of the third edition of the PBFD initiative. The event unites global leaders and innovators in façade design, focusing on the intersection of advanced technologies and natural elements in the evolution of sustainable building envelopes. We’ll be presenting the next step in architectural glass processing. Make sure to reserve your seat at Performance Based Facade Design and meet with Joan Tarrús and Gaia Sperotto.

We are excited to be speaking at Performance-Based Façade Design (PBFD) 2025 and honored to be featured in the conference program. 

September 11, 1:40-2:00 PM | Revolutionizing Architectural Design with 3D-Bent Tempered Glass | Joan Tarrús 

sedak’s innovations in 3D-bent tempered glass are transforming architectural design by enabling complex geometries once thought impossible. Joan Tarrús will discuss sedak’s advancements, including doubly-curved, heat-strengthened glass and energy-efficient coatings, which have been implemented in landmark projects like The Henderson in Hong Kong and L’Oréal Headquarters in Paris. These innovations push the boundaries of traditional glass processing, enabling architects to create bold, dynamic façades. Joan will also showcase sedak’s proprietary equipment for high-precision freeform glass, marking a significant breakthrough in façade engineering. This technology allows for greater flexibility in design, merging cutting-edge technology with nature, and providing architects the tools to unlock new possibilities in shaping building envelopes.
