Tom Kundig Houses 2 | Princeton Architectural Press The work of Seattle-based architect Tom Kundig has been called both raw and refined, as well as super-crafted and warm. Kundig's projects, especially his houses, uniquely combine these two seemingly disparate sets of characteristics to produce some of the most inventive structures found in the architecture world today. Kundig's internationally acclaimed work is inspired by both the industrial structures with which he grew up in the Pacific Northwest and the vibrant craft cultures that are fostered there. His buildings uniquely meld industrial sensibilities and materials such as Cor-ten steel and concrete with an intuitive understanding of scale. As Kundig states, "The idea is insaperable from the fabrication, inseparable from the materials used. Kundig's houses reflect a sustained and active collaborative process between designer, craftsmen, and owners, resulting in houses that bring to life the architect's intentions, the materials used, and lines of unforgettable beauty. This new volume is a timely update on the architecture of domestic interiors in the U. The 17 projects included consist of urban single family dwellinga, country homes and residences nestled along the beaches of the East Coast. Introducing Architectural Tectonics is an exploration of the poetics of construction. Tectonic theory is an integrative philosophy examining the relationships formed between design, construction, and space while creating or experiencing a work of architecture. In this text, author Chad Schwartz presents an introductory investigation into tectonic theory, subdividing it into distinct concepts in order to make it accessible to beginning and advanced students alike. Although similarities do exist between the projects, their distinctly different characteristics — location and climate, context, size, program, construction methods — and range of interpretations of tectonic expression provide the most significant lessons of the book, helping you to understand tectonic theory. Written in clear, accessible language, these investigations examine the poetic creation of architecture, showing you lessons and concepts Tom Kundig Houses 2: 2 you can integrate into your own work, whether studying in a university classroom or practicing in a professional office. Drawing from Practice explores and illuminates the ways that 26 diverse and reputable architects use freehand drawing to shape our built environment. Author J. Michael Welton traces the tactile sketch, from initial parti to finished product, through words, images, and photographs that reveal the creative process in action. Included is a foreword by Robert McCarter, architect, author and professor of architecture. What are the challenges architects face when designing dwelling spaces of a limited size? And what can these projects tell us about architecture — and architectural principles — in general? In BIG little house, award-winning Tom Kundig Houses 2: 2 Donna Kacmar introduces twenty real-life examples of small houses. Each project is under 1, square feet square meters in size and, brought together, the designs reveal an attitude towards materiality, light, enclosure and accommodation which Tom Kundig Houses 2: 2 unique

  • The Gizmos of Tom Kundig and What They Tell Us As Creatives
    Inspiring and promoting design excellence through education and cultural exchange between the United States and Italy Il giardino che semini AIA CONTINUING EDUCATION SEMINAR 1 LU November 17, 2017 The Gizmos of Tom Kundig And What They Tell Us As Creatives DOMENICO FERRARA, from Catania Sicily, graduated from Sapienza University of Rome in architecture. He moved to Paris in 2010 for a post- master degree in Urban Design. His research was on the heritage of Roman theatres, focusing on how these urban ruins influenced the development of historical cities. After graduating, Ferrara worked on construction sites of several large-scale buildings in France and Monaco. In 2016 he completed his Ph.D. in cooperation with the UW in Seattle and the Chalmers University in Gothenburg, with support from the C.M. Lerici Foundation. His thesis is on the architecture of Tom Kundig, concentrating on a theoretical approach to Kundig's gizmos. Ferrara's research centers on the theory of the architectural scale of living buildings, large and small. His projects from several competitions have been awarded. Ferrara currently practices architecture in Rome. From his Italian cultural background, Ferrara offers an international vision of the work of Tom Kundig. He presents an overall sketch of Kundig's education and apprenticeship, focusing on a few critical moments that impacted his growth, leading him to examine Kundig's native landscape, how the architect absorbed it, and ultimately influenced his creativity and imagination. Ferrara aims to understand Kundig's work through the idea of “romantic mechanics”. This concept combines the aesthetics and the movements of the machine with an elemental naturalist sensibility.

  • ABOUT TOM KUNDIG, FAIA Olson Kundig, Seattle
    ABOUT TOM KUNDIG, FAIA Olson Kundig, Seattle Tom Kundig is an owner and design principal at Olson Kundig. He joined the firm in 1986, and has steadily diversified his range of project typologies from residential work to museums, wineries, high-rise multi-unit structures, and hotels. The geographic diversity of his projects has broadened just as much over the years; he is currently working not only all over the West Coast of the United States, but also in Australia, Brazil, Austria, Mexico, South Korea, and multiple locations on the East Coast and Canada. But no matter where he works, whether in the urban context of Manhattan or the rural landscape of Montana or Idaho, the landscape inevitably looms large, as do a consistent array of concerns related to site, scale, materials, and livability. Kundig favors materials that are appropriate to the particular context of the building, generally opting for the tough and the rustic for their ability to evoke nature and weather over time, helping the building recede into the landscape. Kundig grew up in the Pacific Northwest. His father was an architect, and during his formative years he was constantly exposed to artists, designers, and craftspeople. He initially wanted to study science, but finally decided that architecture “allowed me to have a foot in both places—the technical realm and the poetic realm—and in that magical intersection between the two.” The style may be rugged, but the effect is warm and welcoming. “And sometimes there is even an element of risk, or daring, which is desired on the client’s part and intentional on my part,” he adds.

  • Building Culture
    2015 Residential Design Forum: Unwrapping the Design Process MONDAY, JUNE 8, 2015 | SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY - CENTRAL BRANCH – THE WASHINGTON MUTUAL FOUNDATION ROOM * all sessions/speakers subject to change Keynote Speaker Frank Harmon, FAIA, President of Frank Harmon Architect, designs sustainable buildings across the Southeast. His work engages pressing contemporary issues such as placelessness, sustainability, and the restoration of cities and nature. His buildings are materially specific to their region, using hurricane-felled cypress and rock from local quarries, for example, to connect the structure to its landscape. The airy breezeways, outdoor living spaces, deep overhangs, and wide lawns embody the romanticism of the South while maintaining a distinguished modernism. Mr. Harmon graduated from the Architectural Association in London and is a Professor-in- Practice at the NC State University College of Design. Frank Harmon Architect, based in Raleigh, has been named to Architect magazine’s “Top 50” list three times. His recent project, NativePlaces.org, uses sketches and short essays to illustrate the value of looking closely at buildings and places. He is a member of Activate14, an AIANC outreach initiative to strengthen the civic role of architecture and design in our community. Session Speakers (in alphabetical order) Ray Calabro, FAIA, is Principal at Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. Mr. Calabro’s work emphasizes the relationship of a building to its surrounding landscape; he believes that architecture is a thoughtful response to the culture and spirit of each place. This vision and commitment is most clearly demonstrated by the award-winning Grand Teton Discovery and Visitor in Jackson, Wyoming. Mr. Calabro’s passion for architecture comes from his lifelong interest in drawing and design.

In 248 pages featuring 17 homes, the book demonstrates how Kundig is actively redefining the vocabulary of architecture and his commitment to the experiential nature of space – branding him as a unique figure among international practitioners. The book follows the critically acclaimed Tom Kundig: Houses, published in 2006. Over the past decade, Kundig’s inventive and oftentimes playful approach to kinetic architecture has been recognized with an array of high-profile national and international awards, transforming him into one of the most influential architects working today. “Tom Kundig’s houses help complacent bodies reimagine themselves in a natural plenitude,” says Daniel Friedman in his essay in the book. “In the lives they touch, they circulate like gift property, transmitting vitality, reviving the soul, serving an upward force.” Kundig has gained a world-renowned reputation for establishing an innovative balance between raw material and modernist design. Tom Kundig: Houses 2, showcases recent work that strikes a balance between tactile and sophisticated, and modern and warm, the effect of which creates inviting spaces well married to their native context.
