This haphazard way of approaching our environment takes no advantage of our ability as sentient beings to truly engage in eloquent, sustainable combinations of the old and new. Through engaging the question of what we truly value in this country and how that can be defined through architectural quality, we look at a series of case studies that have successfully expressed a combination between the old and the new. This thesis defines some guiding principles inherent in successful resolutions. It does not give specified stylistic requirements but rather suggests that the old be fully understood, respected and engaged as part of a final combination with a clear hierarchy culminating in a unified expression.

  • “HERE/AFTER: Structures in Time” Authors: Paul Clemence & Robert
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Book : “HERE/AFTER: Structures in Time” Authors: Paul Clemence & Robert Landon Featuring Projects by Zaha Hadid, Jean Nouvel, Frank Gehry, Oscar Niemeyer, Mies van der Rohe, and Many Others, All Photographed As Never Before. A Groundbreaking New book of Architectural Photographs and Original Essays Takes Readers on a Fascinating Journey Through Time In a visually striking new book Here/After: Structures in Time, award-winning photographer Paul Clemence and author Robert Landon take the reader on a remarkable tour of the hidden fourth dimension of architecture: Time. "Paul Clemence’s photography and Robert Landon’s essays remind us of the essential relationship between architecture, photography and time," writes celebrated architect, critic and former MoMA curator Terence Riley in the book's introduction. The 38 photographs in this book grow out of Clemence's restless search for new architectural encounters, which have taken him from Rio de Janeiro to New York, from Barcelona to Cologne. In the process he has created highly original images of some of the world's most celebrated buildings, from Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum to Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Bilbao. Other architects featured in the book include Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Oscar Niemeyer, Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, I.M. Pei, Studio Glavovic, Zaha Hadid and Jean Nouvel. However, Clemence's camera also discovers hidden beauty in unexpected places—an anonymous back alley, a construction site, even a graveyard. The buildings themselves may be still, but his images are dynamic and alive— dancing in time. Inspired by Clemence's photos, Landon's highly personal and poetic essays take the reader on a similar journey.

  • The Architecture of Metabolism. Inventing a Culture of Resilience
    Arts 2014, 3, 279-297; doi:10.3390/arts3020279 OPEN ACCESS arts ISSN 2076-0752 www.mdpi.com/journal/arts Article The Architecture of Metabolism. Inventing a Culture of Resilience Meike Schalk Meike Schalk, Assistant Professor, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and the Built Environment, Östermalmsgatan 26, 100 44 Stockholm, Sweden; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +46-73-6000906 Received: 10 May 2014; in revised form: 6 June 2014 / Accepted: 10 June 2014 / Published: 13 June 2014 Abstract: The Metabolist movement, with its radical and visionary urban and architectural schemes, drew the attention of an international architecture community to Japan in the 1960s and 1970s. Seen from a contemporary perspective, the movement’s foremost concern was cultural resilience as a notion of national identity. Metabolism responded to the human and environmental catastrophe that followed the atomic bombing of Japan and vulnerability to natural disasters such as earthquakes, with architecture envisioning the complete transformation of Japan as a system of political, social, and physical structures into resilient spatial and organizational patterns adaptable to change. Projecting a utopia of resilience, Metabolism employed biological metaphors and recalled technoscientific images which, together with the vernacular, evoked the notion of a genetic architecture able to be recreated again and again. A specific concern was to mediate between an urbanism of large, technical and institutional infrastructures and the freedom of the individual. My aim is to critically examine the notion of sustainable architecture by rereading Metabolist theories and products, such as terms, models, projects, and buildings. For a better understanding of the present discourse, this text searches for a possible history of sustainable architecture, a subject mostly presented ahistorically.

Retired now, "Chuck" has been the head of design of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill's San Francisco office from 1955-1981. Those twenty-six years were a time of unprecedented growth and change to which Chuck not only bore witness but helped shape. Chuck Bassett was one of the SOM triumvirate of the postwar years: he was the West Coast counterpart of Gordon Bunshaft in New York and William Hartmann in Chicago. In 1988 the California Council of the American Institute of Architects awarded SOM, San Francisco, a 42-year award for "...the genuine commitment that the firm has had to its city, to the profession and to both art and the business of architecture." Although Chuck prefers to be known as a team player, his personal contribution to this achievement is unmistakable in the context of urban San Francisco since 1955.
