Artem Buturlin, General Director of ITL Engineering, which takes one of the leading positions in the field of facade consulting and design in Russia:

“The facade construction market in Russia is full of multiple contrasts both in the facade technologies and materials used, and in the approaches to construction. All this, on the one hand, is due to its relative immaturity compared to world markets, and on the other hand, the high dynamics of its development.

In recent years, a fairly large number of projects with unique architectural solutions by both local and foreign architects have appeared in Russia and continue to be designed and built, incl. with a worldwide reputation.

All this determines the need to develop an effective methodology for the work of project teams in relation to facade structures, given the best world practice, but at the same time considering local specifics.”

In his speech at Zak World of Façades Russia, April 27, 2022, Artem will share his experience of working at unique Russian and foreign projects and his view of a facade consultant on the issues of building effective processes.
