JOSEPH ANASTASI, LEED AP BD+C Associate Principal / OZ Architecture
Joe Anastasi brings a fresh design perspective and unique approach to every project. His expertise ranges from stunning graphics to management, schematic through construction, city master plans to individual building details, sustainability and everything in between. Signature concepts and buildings are critical in Joe’s commitment to creating places that enhances both personal experience and the environment.
MICHAEL SCHULZ President / Colorado Building Enclosure Council (COBEC)
I believe the influence of a building’s facade is more than skin-deep. Energy efficiency, human factors, and placemaking shape building enclosures while encouraging architects and engineers to push the boundary of what’s possible. I’m committed to creating practical exteriors that are transformative and meet striding energy targets – all while making occupants happier, healthier, and more productive. For 19 years, I’ve been designing and analyzing the next generation of facades for new and existing buildings, including materials research in switchable transparency nanostructured thin-films for solar control and energy harvesting.

NICK CAMERON, AIA, LEED AP Associate Principal / Perkins&Will
As Perkins&Will’s Director of Digital Practice, Nick takes a big-picture approach to his work, and employs a thorough understanding of how the digital practice enhances and completes the design process. Having spent the first part of his career as a designer, he now views his work as an opportunity to work alongside design teams to put the finishing touches on projects. He loves the fact that while so much of a firm’s process relies on technology, the output is analog. The product is ultimately a space that betters a child’s education, improves the wellness of patients, or enhances the functionality of an office. Nick’s passion lies in perfecting the digital process to maximize these outcomes.
