  • Design-Build Studio Syallabus and Project Outcomes
    Design-Build Studio Syallabus and Project Outcomes Design Feedback: a trans-scalar inquiry into the production of forests and fiber + TIMBER (intensive + Extensive): design | build | test | measure | report Arch 5250, Spring 2017 - Syllabus Module 1 – Background The trans-scalar topics of this inaugural lab are Forests and Fiber. Our collective research will focus on the performative feedback loops embodied in tree|timber|wood that necessarily connect forested landscapes to wood fiber buildings across space and time. What are the performative variables attached to Minnesota’s forested landscapes and how can their design positively impact the buildings whose materials are sourced from them? How can material specification and construction impact the management regimes of forested landscapes and the design of rural economies and communities that live in them? This Lab is open to architecture and landscape architecture students and will ask both to carefully reconsider the appropriate systems’ boundaries for their design interventions. Module 2 - Background Building on the outcomes of DDL1 (spring 2017 module 1), we will design and build a series of prototype structures at the Anoka Heritage Lab. Our design interventions will critically explore the extensive properties of timber (which are divisible and dependent on construction unit size and configuration), and intensive properties of timber (which are indivisible and inherent to the material itself properties of timber). Students will work in teams to design a pair of pavilions that meet a prescribed set of program needs for the Heritage Lab as well as provide our own lab with an experimental armature to test a set of inquiries initially established by DDL1.

  • [Kieran Timberlake]
    [Kieran Timberlake] PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT(S): [Stephen Kieran & James Timberlake] LOCATION: [Philadelphia] FIRM OPENED: [1984] EMPLOYEES: [805] FIRM PHILOSOPHY Kieran Timberlake espouses a philosophy of sustainable, collaborative design, and in-depth research. The principles of sustainable design continue to make up their core beliefs. They say that they understand the need to balance the ideals of resource conservation, energy efficiency and pollution prevention with the realities of performance criteria, constructability and budget. HISTORY James Timberlake and Stephen Kieran met at the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture, joining Venturi, Scott Brown, and Associates, before receiving Rome Prizes separately and finally founding their practice in 1984. The firm maintained itself as a noted sustainable design firm for many years, building a reputation for attention to detail and consistency. The partners were awarded the inaugural Latrobe Fellowship from the American Institute of Architects in 2001. KieranTimberlake received more attention after the publication of Refabricating Architecture, a book that explains and argues for the prefabrication of buildings using Building Information Modeling and close coordination of architects and contractors. Timberlake and Kieran argue that offsite production of buildings would be less expensive, more sustainable, and offer tolerances and techniques not possible in on-site construction. They also insist that mass-customization, as they call it, is the proper extension of the ideas expressed by Le Corbusier and other early modernists, who sought to develop inexpensive and easily built housing.
