•    Description:  The Architecture Expo presented during the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Conference 2017 in Orlando, FL, on April 27-29, showcased building and construction products where aluminum extrusions play an essential role in todayÕs high-performance buildings. Extruded products are being used to meet a number of architectural industry trends, including demand for greater energy savings in buildings, improved daylighting through the use of larger spans of glass, impact and blast resistant systems, larger skylights and complex roof systems, and specialty applications. This article presents an overview of some of the high-performance windows, doors, storefront and entry systems, unitized window and curtain wall, skylights, and other systems that incorporate aluminum extrusions in their design to meet these trends.
