After a year-long sabbatical, Karen is back at Barnard in her role of Department Chair and is teaching the Design III studio, Resources for an Urban World, set to travel to Istanbul this fall. Scott is also back at school, teaching Workflow: Designing Industry, a seminar at GSAPP to rethink the future of architectural practice.
Scott and Karen are on the road as Marble Fairbanks commences design work on the renovation of Colman Hall at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin.
Stay tuned for more updates!
Marble Fairbanks is developing a design for a new covered soccer field and expanded facilities for FC Harlem. Using soccer to “connect with young people on and off the field,” FC Harlem is a community-based outreach program whose mission is to empower under-served youth, providing them with the “skills and support they need to be fearless in life.”
Stay tuned for future updates!
Marble Fairbanks with James Lima Planning + Development and Special Project Office has been selected as one of five teams to participate in Re-Envisioning Branch Libraries.
The Study, sponsored by The Architectural League of New York in conjunction with Center for an Urban Future, “will identify the challenges that branch libraries face and propose design solutions to stimulate conversation about means to support New York’s three library systems and the vital services they provide.”
Scott Marble will be participating in the upcoming Working Models Forum, a 3-day event of panel discussions, presentations, a prototyping charette, and an exhibition.
Hosted by FARMM, the Facility for Architectural Research in Media and Mediation research hub at McGill University School of Architecture, the forum will address architectural discourse’s shift from formal to informational concerns, and the computational technologies that enable us to “collectively consider the limiting and enabling impacts of technics on our ability to judge, invent, and act together.”
