Victor Lundy: Artist Architect

Posted on October 8th, 2018 by Nicole Sakr

Posted under: Academic

“Lundy’s built work denies signature in the form of a singular voice; he lets the natural grain of raw matter, the texture of its aggregation, and the malleability of different materials help determine the aesthetic sensibility of his buildings. Consider the Unitarian Meeting House in Hartford, Connecticut, or the IBM Garden State Offices, in Cranford, New Jersey, and how Lundy negotiates history, identity, and building configuration through material organization.” … “in the facade of the IBM project, we discover the power of the individual in the context of the collective. In this curious wall, Lundy adopts each brick as its own soldier with independent orders, and as each takes on its own position within the face of the building, we come to understand the power of the field condition as the basis for a compositional swarm.”

Read the full book foreword by Nader Tehrani HERE. More on Lundy, Nader and ‘Beyond the Harvard Box’ HERE.

Posted on September 20th, 2018 by Nicole Sakr

Posted under: The Cooper Union

ARCHITECT Magazine’s annual Studio Prize celebrates the most innovative academic studios in North America.  The jury this year included Yolande Daniels, Eric Owen Moss, and Jennifer Yoos. The Cooper Union’s studio course Animate Archi-Tectonics: Structural Configurations Between Lines, Planes, and Volumes, a first-year undergraduate studio was one of this year’s six winners. The studio led by Alexa Tsien-Shiang, Mersiha Veledar, and Yasmin Vobis explored form and space by starting with Paul Klee’s idea that “a drawing is taking a line for a walk.” Check out the work students completed in Veledar’s studio HERE and see all the Studio Prize winners HERE.
