Facade Research Collaborative was founded in 2020 to help make it easier for Architects, Owners, and Contractors to have access to facade consultants when questions come up. Every member of FRC has been in the industry for over a decade, and we help pair you with the person who can most quickly help your project get realized.
Teel Riggs AIA is the founding member of FRC. She has collaborated with architects in the United States, Asia, and Australia on everything from new custom facades for supertall towers, to thoughtful retrofits of historically sensitive facades. She brings her focus on empirical performance and technical excellence to projects of any scale.
Teel received her Masters In Architecture from Columbia University GSAPP, where she is currently an Adjunct Assistant Professor. Her academic research focuses on material analysis, complex fabrication processes, and energy efficiency. She also has in depth knowledge of energy code requirements, and was part of Urban Green Council’s task force to determine the facade performance requirements for Zone Green 2.0 in the New York City Zoning Code.
