Off-Site Construction of the Building Enclosure: Precision, Performance, and Scalability

The Boston Society of Architects (BSA) and Building Enclosure Council (BEC-Boston) presents the 2026 Wagdy Anis Symposium on Building Science, honoring the legacy of Wagdy Anis FAIA and his enduring impact on high-performance enclosure design.

This year’s theme, Off-Site Construction of the Building Enclosure: Precision, Performance, and Scalability, focuses on the role of prefabricated and modular enclosure systems in meeting increasingly rigorous energy, durability, and climate performance goals. As codes such as the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code continue to evolve, off-site construction offers new opportunities for improved quality control, airtightness, thermal performance, and construction efficiency.

The in-person symposium will feature expert presentations, panel discussions, and case studies, with AIA LU/HSW continuing education credits available.

Date: Thursday, June 25th, 2026, 8am - 5pm, with reception to follow
Location: BSA Space - 290 Congress Street, Suite 200, Boston, MA
