    ctbuh.org/papers Title: Liberating Urban Architecture (The Merging of the Virtual and the Real) Author: Peter Paul Hoogendoorn, Peter Pran + H Architects LLC Subject: Urban Design Keywords: Technology Urbanization Publication Date: 2001 Original Publication: CTBUH 2001 6th World Congress, Melbourne Paper Type: 1. Book chapter/Part chapter 2. Journal paper 3. Conference proceeding 4. Unpublished conference paper 5. Magazine article 6. Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Peter Paul Hoogendoorn PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE Liberating Urban Architecture (The Merging of the Virtual and the Real) Peter Pran Visionary creativity and innovative thinking in architecture and engineering are liberating us and allowing us to develop outstanding new solutions for buildings and urban design. Our close architect-engineer-developer collaboration and trust makes everything possible. Our work and design visions are on the edge, celebrating complexity, layered meanings and instability ushered in by the 21st century. Today, the real and virtual worlds are rapidly crossing paths, exploding our perceptions of where and how we live and work. Boundaries of all kinds are breaking down, providing opportunities for change in a tectonic realization of existentialist architecture. The job of predicting and charting a course for the future while striving to re-invent reality is destined to become a global struggle. Our goal should be to move aside whatever stands in the way of innovative thought, to articulate liberated buildings and spaces that make lives richer and more mean- ingful, and to define a vision for everyone as individuals. Based on progressive social, cultural and political ideals, we are in a position to take advantage of interaction across all media, and to express the full complexity and equality of all people.

  • Arthur Love Interview for the Charles Pankow Oral History Project
    Oral History Interview with ARTHUR LOVE January 29, 2009 Surprise, Arizona By Michael R. Adamson Adamson: Let’s start with your background and your university training and how you came to work with Welton Becket, just until the time where you first had your relationship with Pankow; the broad overview. Love: University of Illinois undergraduate, worked for a firm during all the time I was in college. I worked in an architect’s office, because I basically even in those days paid your way through school. It was very cheap, but I still paid my way through school, and spent a couple of years after graduation working as a field superintendent, as I mentioned, for this firm, making decisions that architects are not legally allowed to do anymore. It was a very incredible learning experience, and maybe that’s where I developed my respect for contractors. Went to Colorado Springs. Really wanted to go to California, but I couldn’t get any jobs there unless I moved there, and I couldn’t afford to. Went to Colorado Springs and worked there for four years and ran into a high school buddy who was also an architect who was working on the Air Force Academy. We got reconnected. He went to California, went to work for Becket, called me one day and said, “We’ve got jobs out 1 here out the gazoo, if you want to come out here and interview,” which I did, and got a job. So in 1960, and this is really ancient history, 1960, my wife and I and three kids moved to California, and I started work for Becket as a designer.

  • Bankers Life Fieldhouse
    BANKERS LIFE FIELDHOUSE “Retro” was the name of the game when architect Ellerbe Becket designed plans in 1999 for Bankers Life Fieldhouse – the 18,000+ seat, $180 million home to the Indiana Pacers in downtown Indianapolis. A celebration of Indiana basketball tradition with a tribute to the state’s most memorable high school and collegiate fieldhouses was the inspiration behind the development, which boasts of being the “first fully themed arena in the world.” Tnemec coatings were specified for the interior and exterior structural steel at the fieldhouse, formerly known as Conseco Fieldhouse. The exterior steel was shop primed with Series 90- 97 Tneme-Zinc, a zinc-rich, aromatic urethane. Once in the field, an intermediate coat of Series 161 Tneme-Fascure, a corrosion- resistant, fast-cure epoxy was brush- and roller-applied, followed by a dark green coat of Series 73 Endura-Shield, an aliphatic acrylic polyurethane. A topcoat of Series 76 Endura-Clear, a unique aliphatic polyurethane clearcoat, was applied to complete the coating system. “Series 76 was used on the exterior steel to protect and enhance the color coat of Series 73,” said Tnemec coating consultant Jeff Parish. “With a structure that’s one hundred feet in the air, you PROJECT INFORMATION want to ensure that it won’t have to be recoated anytime in the near future. This coating system worked perfectly.” Project Location The interior structural steel was prepared in accordance with Indianapolis, Indiana SSPC-SP6/NACE No. 3 Commercial Blast Cleaning and arrived on Project Completion Date site after having been primed with Series 161.
