Creating Structure Podcast #44 David Kent, LEED AP, Senior Design Consultant, Wheaton Sprague - "Facades That Inspire Series"

Creating Structure

Welcome to the first of a sub-series we will run intermittently entitled "Facades That Inspire," within the Creating Structure Podcast. This one is with my colleague and friend Mr. David Kent, LEED AP, Senior Design Consultant at Wheaton Sprague
Beginning his career in London, David has worked in exterior restoration, and curtain wall consulting for about two decades. He received a degree in Building Surveying in the UK, which focuses on the after care and adaptation of existing buildings and exteriors. His work experience spans a full range of construction typologies from social housing to high profile NYC land-marked properties such as the Park Avenue Armory and The Knox Hat Building at 452 Fifth Avenue and more. David's experience has lead to a thorough understanding of not only building exteriors, but their construction, operations, and systems of interiors. Mr. Kent brings his expertise and strong communication skills to every aspect of his work.
Facades That Inspire, (enabling facades that inspire is our core purpose at Wheaton Sprague) can take many forms. While we've done monumental, visible, noteworthy custom glazed curtain wall systems on new and existing buildings, in this discussion we highlight a masonry facade on an alley wall, part of an 1800's vintage building in Boston. Why is it important, what were the issues, how was it restored? Listen to the discussion for the case study.
And much thanks to our client, and architect, Olivia Dube, AIA, Owner and Principal Tact and Grit Design Co. https://www.tactandgrit.com/
