At Global Design Conference, New York’s ARO by CetraRuddy Featured
At an international conference on building design in Switzerland next month, the architect John Cetra FAIA of CetraRuddy and the engineer Manan Raval, P.E., will present on the innovative design of ARO, the new 62-story tower set to debut this year in New York City.
Already creating buzz in global architecture circles, the high-rise building design for ARO will be presented to an international audience as part of a session on “adaptive facades,” which improve the tower’s energy efficiency and economics according to Cetra.
The session, “ARO Tower: An Integrated Building Envelope” and the related technical paper will be presented on Tuesday, October 2nd at the Advanced Building Skins symposium, held in Bern, Switzerland at the Kursaal Bern convention center. Cetra and Raval will be joined by copresenters from Belgium, Germany and Hungary offering other case studies.
Designed for Algin Management by CetraRuddy, the ARO tower in New York features an innovative webbed sleeve of composite metal panels and a unitized curtain wall wrapping 426 luxury rental residences and extensive amenity spaces. At the Advanced Building Skins conference, Cetra and Raval will discuss how ARO’s facade systems improves the building’s energy efficiency and economics, how solar radiation reaches the towers, and how these systems control solar gains and optimize daylight within the building.
Earlier this year, ARO was the subject of discussion at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) 2018 National Conference on Architecture, and it was presented to an international delegation of architecture, engineering and construction experts hosted by the Council for Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).
