Announcement
On Wednesday, Scott delivered his introductory lecture at the Georgia Tech School of Architecture titled HERE TO THERE, a journey through a cross section of projects by Marble Fairbanks. The projects are new and old, large and small, built and unbuilt. The accompanying video exhibition includes this wide range of projects and explores each at a depth that makes apparent the collapse of architectural research and practice
Our exhibition HERE TO THERE is showing for the next three weeks in Georgia Tech’s Stubbins Gallery. This exhibition is unique for us in two ways. First, it opens an unprecedented window in the behind-the scene processes of the firm, from commuting to construction. Second, this exhibition is itself a collapse of research and production. Preparing an exhibition is no slight undertaking, but within the process it has been an opportunity to explore new forms of communication and speculate about their application to future work.
This week, Karen will be attending Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age in Grand Rapids. Catch her panel discussion with architects Tod Stevens of Stantec and Jefferey Scherer of MSR on designing libraries tomorrow at 8:45AM.
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).”
