True to its name, Innovation Glass has its roots in solving complex designs with custom approaches, including Tension Based Structures, Steel Facades, Specialty Steel Structures, and All-Glass Structures. Additionally, our CEO, Franz Safford, brings a wealth of experience acting as principal in charge on many monumental projects before the founding of Innovation Glass.

Projects by Franz Safford as Principal in Charge

I had the great fortune to collaborate with Mic Patterson and Tejav Deganyar, my partners at ASI Advanced Structures Incorporated. Until its acquisition by Enclos in 2007 ASI was the leading design/build specialty structures firm in the United States authoring some of the most innovative facades in the country and the world. During that 17 year journey I acquired a unique level of knowledge and experience in the implementation of truly innovative structures including the first cable net constructed in the US, the first hypar surface cable net ever built and stressed shell structures. The design solution approach of integrating the functions of a facade into an optimized whole pioneered at ASI was carried forward to the way we solve problems at Innovation Glass. To highlight that history behind iG we present some major projects for which I served as the principal in charge (PIC).
