Eligibility Any individual (not necessarily an American or an architect), living or dead, whom the President believes qualified is eligible to receive the Gold Medal. No more than one such award shall be made in any year. Criteria Candidates will be evaluated on how well they meet the program criteria as established by the President, which may include: • The candidate shall have evidenced great depth, having a cumulative effect on the profession of architecture. • The candidate shall have evidenced great breadth, having influenced the direction/profession of architecture. • The candidate shall be an individual whose contributions to the profession of architecture have consistently been directed toward the future as well as respectful of the past. • The candidate shall have evidenced the ability to transcend specific areas of expertise or shall have made connections between areas, in the event that the candidate's areas of focus might be considered circumscribed. • The candidate shall be widely known by the quality of his or her products: by those who practice architecture, by those who teach architecture, and by those who perhaps do neither Past Gold Medal Winners include: 2008 Scott Johnson, FAIA & William H.

  • 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

  • The Bay Area’S Modern Landscape Legacy
    SPUR and The Cultural Landscape Foundation Symposium, September 15, 2011 The Bay Area’s Modern Landscape Legacy Sasaki, Walker Associates and The SWA Group-Kalvin Platt 1. Foothill College (1959) Peter Walker came out to California from the Sasaki, Walker Associates office in Watertown , Massachusetts to set up a San Francisco office in 1959 to oversee the construction of Foothill College, a brand new community college for 3500 students. Hideo Sasaki at that time was the head of the Landscape Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and he kept the Watertown office going. Foothill College was on a hillside site in Los Altos Hills and the site was graded so the clusters of pavilion like college buildings designed by Ernest Kump were situated on the higher ground in a car free pedestrian environment with varied open spaces. Parking, road access and support uses were below and were connected by ramps and stairs. 2. Golden Gateway, San Francisco, California (1960) The office soon was part of a winning submission for a 10 acre redevelopment project, in Downtown San Francisco, working with William Wurster, the dean of Bay Area Style architects and DeMars and Reay. The old produce market was replaced by tall residential towers surrounded by town houses on a second level podium with parking below and retail at the street frontage. The blocks were connected by pedestrian bridges. 3. One Maritime Plaza (1964) Another part of the San Francisco Downtown redevelopment, connected by pedestrian bridges to the residential areas was an office building by Skidmore, Owens and Merrill which included retail uses on the podium over a parking structure.

It inquires into a Hong Kong myth: How can minimum state intervention gather social resources to build collective urban form? Roughly around the MacLehose Era, Hong Kong began to consciously assume a new vertical order in urban restructuring in order to address the issue of over-crowding and social unrest. British modernist planning provided rich approaches and visions which were borrowed by Hong Kong to achieve its own planning goals. The new town plan and infrastructural development ii transformed Hong Kong from a colonial city concentrated on the Victoria Harbor to a multi-nucleated metropolitan area. The implementation of the R+P development model around 1980 deepened the intermingling between urban infrastructure and superstructure and extended the vertical urbanity to large interior spaces: the shopping centers.

  • Farewell to Ray Kappe, SCI-Arc Founding Director and Architectural Giant
    Farewell to Ray Kappe, SCI-Arc Founding Director and Architectural Giant Ray Kappe, FAIA 1927 - 2019 Portrait by Steve Shaw Download Press Images Media Inquiries: Stephanie Atlan [email protected] 213-356-5395 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Los Angeles, CA (November 22, 2019) – Ray Kappe FAIA, Founding Director of SCI-Arc and architectural giant, passed away on Thursday, November 21, surrounded by family and loved ones. A world-renowned architect widely considered one of the great innovators of modern architecture, Kappe skillfully led SCI-Arc for fifteen years as founding director and chairman of the board, having the pedagogical experience and financial expertise, as well as the interpersonal skills, to enable the school’s growing success and global influence. Born in Minneapolis in 1927, Kappe graduated from UC Berkeley’s architecture program with honors in 1951 and opened his own practice in 1954. Ray’s interest in architectural education developed in the early 1960s while teaching in the architecture program at the University of Southern California. In 1968 he was chosen to be founding chairman of the Architecture Program at California State Polytechnic University at Pomona, helping to found the School of Environmental Design. In 1972, he along with Thom Mayne, Jim Stafford, Glen Small, Ahde Lahti, Bill Simonian, as well as Shelly Kappe, joined together as high-energy, committed founding faculty in the alternative educational experiment that became SCI-Arc. Fifty students, including Michael Rotondi, Dean Nota, and John Souza followed and were joined by twenty-five more from all over the US and Canada. They collectively formed what was known originally as “The New School,” with Kappe later renaming it the Southern California Institute of Architecture, or SCI-Arc.
