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.

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.
