Omar Renteria, AIA LEED AP BD+C, is the Director of Operation at Ennead Architects. Omar’s current focus is self-aware facades within evolving networks. His building envelope science research imagines new ways of thinking about design that will advance innovations in materials, technologies, and methodologies. Omar investigates current industry conditions, research and breakthroughs, and the role of design professionals, academics and other design and construction partners in realizing future possibilities. Inspired by natural formations and the potential of high-tech materials, his team proposes a new way of thinking about façade construction – one that minimizes the structure’s embodied energy, as well as its lifetime energy use to become more self-sustaining. Omar has led teams participating in design competitions such as “Architecture that Reacts,” and presented at the 13th Conference on Advanced Building Skins.
