MINNEAPOLIS COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN ACADEMIC EXPANSION | MINNEAPOLIS, MN As the new campus entry, the academic expansion will reconnect the school with the city of Minneapolis. As the new home to a number of public and private functions that are critical to the success of the college, it will also fill a void between the academic and housing areas of the campus.

There are four floors. The first two floors have galleries, a book store and fitness center. These floors provide students an opportunity to interact with one another as well as with the city of Minneapolis.

The top two floors are for traditional and digital medias. The third floor offers a variety of systems to manage natural light and to provide an ideal space for digital media. The fourth floor provides ample daylight for the painting studio through light monitors.

These spaces are anchored by studio and digital workshops that encompass the west side of the building. These spaces are shaped by the building’s service wall that shields them from the western sun exposure.

CARLETON COLLEGE ARTS UNION The Arts Union is an adaptive reuse of Northfield’s former middle school. The school consists of three buildings from 1910, 1935 and 1954. A new gallery and commons area are being added increasing the SF to 130,000.

The Arts Union will house the departments of theater, dance, cinema and media studies.

The 1910 building will be dedicated to media arts and will provide the necessary space for the program’s film and audio requirements.

It is scheduled for completion in Fall 2011 and is in position for LEED Gold certification.

DOE RUN | COATSVILLE, PA Doe Run is a 500-acre estate consisting of new and adaptively reused structures. Each structure consists of a variety of reclaimed materials mostly found throughout the region.

The estate functions as a private residence, but also serves the local community in a variety of ways. There is a dairy barn, which provides cheese and yogurt. There is also a greenhouse complex, which grows produce as well as flowers and plants.

Construction for all structures is scheduled for completion by 2012.

The basement has three cheese caves totalling 2,400 SF. Each cave is used to cure the cheese and yogurt being made on the ground floor. The cave’s temperature and humidity levels are carefully controlled by an air handling unit and ground air heat exchange system. All water used for production is neutralized to provide the most natural product possible.

Construction was completed in 2010.

MAIN HOUSE | DOE RUN The Main House at Doe Run is a single family residence for the owner of the estate. A majority of the home’s structure was adaptively reused for the renovtion.

The experience of the home is based on the qualities of each room.

Every room in the house has unique qualities of light, textures, and views of the property. Many of the textures come from a variety of reclaimed wood and stone materials that were found in the region. There is Pennsylvania field stone, blue stone, ipe wood from the Coney Island board walk, tobacco lath, and white oak.

The home is heated and cooled by twenty geo-thermal wells. These wells power a radiant heat and forced air system.

Construction was completed in 2011.

11 SPRING STREET | NYC Built in 1888 as a horse stable, 11 Spring Street was designed as a three unit condominium building. With its extroardinary masonry work and stone details, it serves as a landmark to the historic fabric of Little Italy.

For over two decades this building functioned as a canvas to street artists from around the world. As a tribute to its history, the new owners handed over the building to forty artists for one month.

At the end of that month a three day exhibit of their work was held. Over 5,000 people were able to experience the art and space before construction and restoration started.

RENDERING BY ERIC SCHULDENFREI

“Depending on your point of view, the hulking 19th-century brick building at 11 Spring Street in Nolita, a former stable and carriage house, was either a stunning eyesore or one of the most famous canvases and lodestars in the world for urban artists.”

Randy Kennedy, New York Times, December 14, 2006

eVolo COMPETITION | 2011 | MEX TEX

MAKING DIVIDE

MAKING DIFFERENCE

This was the first ever eVolo entry for MS&R as well as its first trial with Grasshopper, the parametric modeling plug-in for Rhino.

Our proposal was inspired by the work of Eladio Dieste and the major influences of social media on our culture.

The proposal, Mex Tex, is a site specific one for the U.S. Mexico border at Juarez and El Paso. It consists of two distinct structures that are being shaped by natural and manmade forces. The natural forces are the local mountain ranges and the manmade are the downtown centers along this small segment of the U.S. and Mexico border.

The structures react digitally to the social space created by the heavily traveled border. The reactions can be a result of raw data collected by the building itself or by users from either side of the border.
