Join Marcella Palaferri of Daltile and Mike Little of Custom Building Products as they discuss the many changes to the 2011 TCNA Handbook which is a guide to assist in clarifying and standardizing installation specifications for ceramic tile, glass tile and natural stone tile. We will cover new environmental classification, the new floor assembly weights section, new ISO references and the green side of tile.
At the end of the program, the attendee will be able to describe methods and recommendations for installing glass tile and natural stone tile, list the new environmental classifications for residential and commercial installations, and identify the differences between ISO and ANSI and the many benefits of using tile and how it contributes to sustainable construction.

Lunch will be provided as part of the program.

This program will provide 1 HSW credits.

Destination Bayfront

As you know, there’s been an on-going effort called Destination Bayfront for almost a full year. Over the last few months they have been gathering public input at meetings across the city as to what our entire community would like to see happen to our Bayfront from McGee Beach through Cooper’s Alley.

As architects, it is in our nature to support positive and benefitial urban growth and redevelopment. This project, much like the Bayfront Charrette, which was held in 2003 by several architects and engineers is one that provides a tangible, visual tool for citizens and public officials to see a concept for growth along the bayfront. Please visit the Destination Bayfront website and see for yourself what is possible...http://www.destinationbayfront.org/
