The NGA Glass Conference: Milwaukee kicked off on Aug. 6 with a trio of high-performance case studies from the host city. The session featured presentations on the historic restoration of a glass-enclosed staircase at the Milwaukee County War Memorial, featuring vacuum insulating glass; the high-performance curtain wall façade of the Northwestern Mutual Tower; and two mass timber projects (the tallest in the world), Ascent and The Edison.
An interesting week in the glass industry combined with a rough week on the markets has given off a gloomy feel. First up, earlier in the week, as in what would be considered a surprising move, a price increase on glass was dropped from the primaries. Obviously, some parts of the country are encountering softer conditions and so seeing this threw many for a loop. The timing, indeed, was unexpected. Then we had the market meltdowns at the end of the week, and those two combined brought a little more skittishness in our industry right now.
The latest From the Fabricator podcast is now up and ready for you to check out. Real interesting trio this time out with lots of lessons and insights. I kick it off with long-time industry player John Leonard of FHC. John joined me at the last minute, and it was a good run through the railing space, along with a key takeaway of “listen” – which really resonated with me. Then I went “peopling” with Priscilla “PK” Koeckerwitz of Brin Glass.
