On September 12, along with Belmont Freeman, FAIA, of Belmont Freeman Architects and Suzanne Stephens of Architectural Record, Karen juried for the 2015 Texas Society of Architects Studio Awards, which recognize excellence and innovation in design and encourage “real or theoretical projects that go beyond the boundaries of architecture by addressing current critical issues.”
Mind-Builders is almost ready! Karen and Scott joined Madaha Kinsey-Lamb, founder and executive director of Mind-Builders Creative Arts Center, to hang their African Art collection in anticipation of the upcoming grand opening!
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.

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!
