Continuing Professional Development

Book in for our Continuing Professional Development presentations to learn, and be inspired by, the art-of-the possible in contemporary rainscreen cladding and ETICS/EWI facade solutions.

Our CPD explores facades as more than a technical solution, as a medium for architectural expression, and thanks to our 70 year pedigree from our parent company, Gruppo IVAS, what can be visualised and realised when inspired by Italian flair.

The spirit of ‘Volare’, which means to fly in Italian, frames our core CPD session, demonstrating just how our Italian design heritage allows the architectural imagination to soar.

Our CPD demonstrates that facades are not just protective layers for buildings but cultural reference points. Drawing on our depth of Italian craftsmanship and design tradition, the session moves from conceptual foundations to practical delivery, to create civic identity while meeting compliance.

Built specifically for architects, our CPD addresses the evolving responsibilities of practice, including the implications of the Building Safety Act 2022, CDM 2015, and Approved Documents B and L, while keeping design ambition front and centre.

What you will learn

How facades shape civic identity and communicate narrative
The role of proportion, rhythm, and sensuality in contemporary facade design
The logic and build-up of ventilated rainscreen systems and ETICS/EWI systems
Key compliance frameworks (BSA, CDM, CWCT, Part B/L, BSA, KIWA, BBA,) and what they mean in early-stage design
How tested and certified systems can enable, not restrict, creative freedom

Why this CPD?

This is a story-led session designed to resonate with architects, with real case studies using tested systems, this CPD will help you design with clarity and defend that design through compliance.

You will leave with a stronger framework for specifying facades that perform technically, meet regulatory demands, and carry meaning, from sketch to architectural skin.
