Horizon: Computing a Sustainable Surface

Horizon: Computing a Sustainable Surface by Dave Mans + Matthew Standeven

Between the earth’s ever-changing surface and the performative light of the sky there exists a reciprocity of horizon. The house here operates as a moment between two systems, a covariant derivative between light and ground. Within the natural system that is life, energy exchange is essential and cyclical. Energy is consumed in order that it may further consume, stored only to be later utilized, and emitted back into a ubiquitous system for retrieval at another time. Its use is multifaceted, yet its essence is singular. Horizon House provides a rhythm and a structure against which all other systems are measured. read more

Ritual Flux: Repetition and the Unpredictable Surface
Ritual Flux by Adrian Lo + Peter VanHage

Ritual Flux reflects the synthetic nature of ideas, technology, and the reciprocal relationships between the body and the built environment. The anatomy of any domestic terrain requires an ingrained flexibility to sustain the broad spectrum of generic processes shared by all humans, while maintaining certain cultural or regional specificity. read more


EVENT: Manufactured Surfaces Exhibition

Manufactured Surfaces Exhibition
Three Pratt Institute Sponsored Research Studios for Sustainable Architecture and Design

Containing work from the studios of Richard Sarrach, Lonn Combs + Mark Parsons, Anthony Caradonna + Francine Monaco

OPENING & RECEPTION
TUESDAY MAY 20, 6-9PM.
PRATT MANHATTAN GALLERY
144 WEST 14TH STREET, 2ND FLOOR

“Manufactured Surfaces” is an exhibition of design research that represents a unique collaboration between Pratt Institute and three progressive corporations that make architectural products and materials. Each corporation is partnered with a design studio comprised of architecture and interior design students. The intention of their research is to transform the character and performance of a particular product into something completely new that draws upon recycled material sources, enhances the sustainable qualities of buildings and spaces, and is adaptable to new geometries that respond to natural light. The work in these studios, while experimental in nature, is applied research that results in full-scale design-build proposals or achievable deployment strategies. These studios present a magically new and exciting direction in design research and education, made possible by the imagination and generosity of the sponsors and their faith in the creativity of our students. read more


SKY/lite: Membranes in the Service of Ecology

(354 Views)

Erin Bartling + Jun Pak

Architectural design studio instructor Richard Sarrach teaches a project-based studio that interprets environmentally responsive design through the criteria of natural light. The skylight products from VELUX, readily available in the marketplace, serve as the technical constraints through which the students re-imagine the possibilities of a domicile created from naturally illuminated environments. The studio considers a speculative approach to the next generation of domiciles in relation to patterns of occupation in the 21st century, energy efficiency, building systems, and, consequently, a range of new lifestyles created out of the desire for a more responsive architecture. read more
