A key aspect of building design projects featuring desirable connections between indoor and outdoor spaces is keeping water from seeping or migrating to places it doesn't belong.
Specifiers are paying closer attention to the quality of drainage products and moving from commodity to architectural solutions. This session will review the role of architectural drainage solutions in creating spaces that are safer, more accessible, more hygienic, easier to clean, and more cost-effective. As you'll see, architectural drains can also mitigate water damage, provide a safe and accessible pathway, extend structure life, and deliver other design and functional benefits.
Learning Objectives
- Explore how proper water drainage options can enhance safety and accessibility in buildings and sites.
- Investigate design opportunities for creating attractive, safe, and well-drained outdoor paths of travel.
- Assess various types of outdoor spaces with effective and safe drainage systems.
- Learn how to specify architectural linear drainage systems in spaces beyond showers.
