At AECtech+ Los Angeles on May 29, 2026, HKS LINE and Zahner co-hosted two ambitious, hands-on workshops focused on combinatorial tooling and selective patina. AECtech attendees explored how digital design, fabrication technology, and material behavior can work together to expand creative possibilities and inform future architectural applications.
Specifying world-class architectural metals shouldn’t require waiting days for pricing. Zahner’s Instant Quote Tool makes it easy to explore signature finishes, configure sheet specifications and coverage, view real-time pricing and lead times, and download a detailed PDF quote, or place your order directly.
Architects and designers are increasingly drawn to the warmth, character, and evolving patina of materials like copper and zinc. These metals can create distinctive building identities that age beautifully over time, bringing a level of artisanship that few other facade materials can match.
Zahner joined architects, engineers, fabricators, constructors, and technology innovators from across the industry at AECtech + Los Angeles, May 28-31, 2026, for this complex geometry-focused event dedicated to exploring the future of design, fabrication, and innovation in the built environment.
Sustainability in design and construction has been an important principle for some time, and as attention to environmental stewardship and budgets intensifies, a renewed commitment is appropriate.
