This week, Karen is heading to Knoxville for the AIA Tennessee Convention, TENNESSEEING. She will be speaking on this year’s topic, “seeing,” in her lecture, “SEARCH and Research.” Catch the talk from 8:30-10:30AM on Thursday, July 30th, and in the mean time, check out her interview with AIA Tennessee.
30 Years of Emerging Voices is now available! The book documents over 250 of the most innovative North American design firms from the past three decades.
Our work is featured in the 1994-1998 section, following a compelling forward by Thomas de Monchaux. In it he writes, “Marble and Fairbanks—alongside peers like Brad Cloepfield and Tom Buresh and Danelle Guthrie—have meticulously applied computational thinking to the repetitions and inspirations of fabrication (digital and material culture compressed inside a thousand laminations of quivering plywood).”

The AIA’s inaugural Intersections Between Academy and Practice conference earlier this month focused on the nexus between architectural education and practice—specifically, how applied research can directly advance the practice of architecture. Scott lectured on the Columbia Building Intelligence Project (C BIP), a research program designed to explore new forms of technology-enabled collaborative design workflows within architectural education. C BIP is comprised of integrated design studios supported by local and international think tanks along with and research seminars at GSAPP.
On Saturday, July 11th, The Architectural League of New York and Open House New York will present OpenStudios: Emerging Voices, a remarkable opportunity to visit the studios of over forty of the most inventive design practices working in NYC. Marble Fairbanks is thrilled to be counted as one of them. The event is organized to mark the publication of 30 Years of Emerging Voices: Idea, Form, Resonance, a new book which surveys a cross-section of the best American architects of the past three decades.
OpenStudios: Emerging Voices is a self-guided walking tour. Each ticket holder will be given a map of all participating studios at registration and may visit sites in any order during the hours that they are open. Midtown Manhattan and Queens studios will open from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM, and Downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn studios (that’s us) from 1:00 – 5:00 PM. We will be on hand to answer questions and discuss our firm’s work. All are welcome! Register here.
