Sitting in the Dark with Strangers Richard Finkelstein

The lights dim, the crowd becomes quiet, and then suddenly an explosion of light on a screen transports you to a galaxy far, far away …. In this series Finkelstein uses miniature figures to compose images and explore the experience of going to the movies.

CAM Museum of Art Raleigh Brooks + Scarpa Architects

Located in Raleigh’s revitalizing Historic Depot District, this historic 1910 two-story brick structure built for Allen Forge & Welding Company and enlarged around 1927 for the Brogden Produce Company — and more recently home to longtime occupant Cal-Tone Paints — has emerged from its asbestos clad sheathing into a new incarnation as the home of Raleigh’s Contemporary Art Museum (CAM).

Guggenheim Pico Design

The fame of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum design rests on its unconventional rotunda shape and sloping spiral ramp that curves around the building’s interior. This circular conception enables the continuous and unimpeded viewing of artworks, either through movement along the ramp, or by looking across the open rotunda at several bays on different levels simultaneously. Wright’s monumental skylight at the top of the rotunda, another defining architectural feature of the museum, allows for the passage of natural light into the exhibit space.

This Guggenheim jewelry was inspired by the exterior perspective view of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, NY. The iconic rotunda imagery is translated here into gently curved silver elements. The earrings were inspired by the famed skylight, or “oculus” that sits over ninety feet above the rotunda floor of the Guggenheim Museum in NYC.

Meier Rd 1 + 2 Mork-Ulnes Architects

The initial Meier Road brief required large flexible spaces that could house a workshop, art studio and storage for barn equipment and collectibles. Exploring the barn typology within this agricultural region brought that historically relevant context to the fore and created a dialogue with nearby barn structures. The question of how to create an ideal art studio within the barn vernacular, however, emerged as the main challenge of the design process. Ultimately, inverting the traditional barn’s gable roof created two high points that invite indirect, northern light into the studio and increase the double-height space within.

Starter Home 3106 St. Thomas Jonathan Tate

The first test site for the Starter Home* thesis, 3106 St. Thomas is an undersized lot in the Irish Channel neighborhood. Technically a historic district, the Irish Channel is in fact highly diverse in the character of its built environment, filled with low-density historic housing equally as regional industrial infrastructure. According to the Starter Home* argument, the site is all at once a legal definition, an embedded history, a record of activity, and a physical entity. A Starter Home* expects no tabula rasa, and in fact relies on the specificities of site in order to function at its best, financially, urbanistically, and spatially. The overlay of zoning – both impediment and opportunity – guides the design process but also provides the potentiality of the site as Starter Home* opportunity. With this in mind, no zoning variances were sought, and in its design, 3106 seeks to take advantage of its preconditions: adjacency to a warehouse and a two-family home, a highly restricted, long and narrow footprint, and a rather generous maximum height of forty feet.
