  • Rice Design Alliance Award Submission to the American Institute of Architects for Collaborative Achievement in Research, Dissemination, and Education
    Rice Design Alliance Award Submission to the American Institute of Architects for Collaborative Achievement in Research, Dissemination, and Education 14 October 2011 On October 14, 2011, the Rice Design Alliance submitted an award submission to the American Institute of Architects for “Collaborative Achievement in Research, Dissemination, and Education.” Along with our organization’s “Biography,” a “Statement of Contributions,” and 15-pages of “Exhibits,” the RDA submission was nominated by Raymond Brochstein, FAIA with five support letters from John Kaliski, AIA, Nonya Grenader, FAIA, David Lake, FAIA, Jay Baker, FAIA, and Edward M. Baum, FAIA. Captured on the following page are a few quotes from these AIA colleagues and RDA supporters. SUBMISSION COMMITTEE Barbara Amelio, Kimberly Hickson, Lonnie Hoogeboom, Craig Minor, Suzy Minor, Danny Samuels, Carrie Glassman Shoemake STAFF Kathryn Fosdick, Raj Mankad, Katie Plocheck, Linda Sylvan “The Rice Design Alliance has been at the forefront of thinking about the future of the built environment and how cities and buildings must be sustainable. RDA has a regional reach beyond Houston, including Austin, Corpus Christi, Galveston and my town, San Antonio. RDA’s audience is not limited to design professionals. It is inclusive, open, and inviting. I have friends who are developers, lawyers, teachers, and artists who routinely attend their events because of the inspirational, informative content. RDA’s commitment to excellence and their success in expanding the audience elucidates how good design benefits all of us and the natural realm. “The Rice Design Alliance was conceived by David Crane who was Dean of the Rice University School of Architecture in 1972.

  • Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

  • MUSEUM of ROMAN ART in Mérida (SPAIN) 1986
    RAFAEL MONEO MUSEUM OF ROMAN ART in Mérida (SPAIN) 1986 The construction of the National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida coincided with the celebration of the bimillennium of the city in 1975. The Museum contains the museum the collections and the archaeological remains and ruins from the Roman city of Emerita Augusta excavated on the site where it was due to be located. From a figurative point of view, this is, without a doubt, one of Moneo's most traditional accomplishments. In it he creates an architectural language that reformulates the past in terms of techniques, meanings and contents without forgetting the present The architect Rafael Moneo designed two buildings which are separated by the remains of a Roman road and joined above by a solid elevated walkway. One of the buildings contains the museum and its storage rooms, and the other the restoration workshops, library, function room and offices. The first building has a main nave and various parallel and perpendicular cross galleries, illuminated by the midday sun and with elements (arches, buttresses) inspired by the Roman architecture of Mérida. The most outstanding feature of the second building is its south façade: and arch with a lintel and a niche which forms the entrance to the The South elevation: In the front on calle J. Ramón Mélida the only element of museum. The door contains bronze bas-reliefs by composition there is an arch, which surrounds the main access of the museum and is topped by a white marble lintel and a niche.

  • Parametric Articulation
    Parametric Articulation A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati Division of Research and Advanced Studies for partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture School of Architecture and Interior Design 2013 By Andrew Newman B.F.A Environmental Design, MICA, 2008 Committee Chairs: Ming Tang Thesis Abstract In the world today, actual concerns for human experience and climate change obligate professional disciplines related to the building industry to explore more innovative design solutions. With the scarce allocation of capital the practice of architecture is in the process of adapting to a more economical process of utilizing parametric tools to design, document, analyze and fabricate building facades. Parametric tools, however, can only aid a designer in the process of achieving the qualitative features of a demanded certain spatial experience. Design and analysis of a building's enclosure system is a fundamental first step in the design process to achieve the qualitative and quantitative benefits of comfort, protection and reduction in energy consumption. As we move forward into information-based future, it is important for the architecture practice to utilize the technological advances in industrial design, computational design and rapid fabrication processes. These advances bring with them the tools needed for architects to innovate, analyze and construct new dynamic enclosure systems for the future. The Architectural Problem Traditional methods of cladding and enclosing structures responsively tend to produce uniformly articulated facades. The character of building articulation, which is ultimately based on orientation, climate, and interior comfort, varies in terms of materials and methods.

    ARC 5744 Architectural History from 1840 to Present and ARC 5744 Lab Wednesdays: Labs at assigned time: 50 minutes Thursdays: Lecture and discussion: 9:00 – 10:40 Professor Gray Read, Email: [email protected] Website: http://faculty.fiu.edu/~readg/ Office: PCA376 (Office Hours: Tuesdays 9:00-12:00) My Blog: http://architecture-performance.blogspot.com Secondary Instructor: Asha Kutty, mailto:[email protected] GA: Juan Gatica, [email protected] Turnitin Course Number: Password: history (you must register yourself in this course on www.turnitin.com) Description: Course introduces students to the major ideas and figures that shaped the multiple strains of architectural design from 1840 to the present as well as examples of contemporaneous vernacular and indigenous design. Course considers three main themes present in much of design research and innovation: architecture as social action that engages often conflicting economic and cultural patterns of use, architecture as physical modification that addresses the natural world as well as people’s differing abilities, and architecture as technological innovation. Students will read and discuss influential texts of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, then consider how those ideas were manifest in architectural design. Objectives: Students will become familiar with the major figures, buildings, and ideas in the multiple strains of recent architectural history across the globe. Students will become aware of multiple historical legacies grounded in political, economic, ecological and technological conditions. Students will consider how diverse social and cultural norms influenced design decisions, particularly when they must be negotiated in multicultural situations. They will develop critical thinking and writing skill through discussion and essays that focus on ideas and use specific analytical examples to support theses.
