During the 2019 AIA Convention in Las Vegas we invited a selected group of manufacturers and industry leaders to discuss the future of architecture and construction. Trends, technology, apps, BIM, customization, supply chain, and more insights on the first edition of Building Future. In this episode we sit down with Julian Francis, President of Insulation Business at Owens Corning. About Owens Corning The story of Owens Corning began in the 1930s when a failed experiment with glass building blocks produced a surprising result – it revealed a way to make glass fibers in commercial quantities. This set in motion a remarkable series of events that included the birth of Owens Corning and the spawning of new industries related to the production of fiber glass materials.
