AIA-NJ Diversity Day 2012


APRIL MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

Architecture/Terroir

Including discussion on the next phase

of  Willow School – A Net-Zero Project

CEUs: 1.5 HSW/SD

Presented by Michael Farewell, FAIA

This talk explores ideas of place specific architecture that draws the character of a site into the open, gives it material expression and reinforcement. This approach offers the idea of specificity and difference.

Sustainable design strategies are a fundamental consideration in this context. On the one hand they offer generic technical solutions for energy efficiency, natural lighting, materials, and site preservation – on the other, the individual response to particular site conditions can result in vernacular character and uniqueness. These strategies will be evaluated as expressive opportunities that link building to environment.

The discussion will focus on a series of projects that are built in edge conditions- the coast, the ridge, the forest, the city. These projects range in scale from the pool house to the school, from theater to urban sculpture. Several have innovative sustainable features that support the idea of an emerging language of environmental expression. There will also be discussion about the next phase of The Willow School, a net-zero project.

Michael Farewell, FAIA, has a BA from Yale and an M Architecture from Princeton. He is lead designer and partner in Farewell Architects LLC located in Princeton New Jersey and specializing in educational and institutional projects.  He was named New Jersey Architect of the year in 2007.

  MOMA’s Architectural Analysis of the Suburbs, featuring The OrangesPresented by Dan Bischoff, Art Critic for the Star-Ledger

Mr. Bischoff will discuss “Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream” at MoMA, the big suburban survey show in which five teams of architects are asked to propose plans to increase the density and energy performance of five suburbs, including Orange NJ, Tampa Terrace FL, Keizer OR, Cicero IL, and Rialto, CA. One of the central themes of the talk will be about scale: How architects have fumbled the issue in the past, how economics are forcing it upon us once again, how the slow building of pent-up housing demand is presenting us with another opportunity to rethink the American Dream.

 

Please send your RSVP to Kenneth P. Mihalik, AIA at kmihalik@rscarchitects.com
before 12 Noon on Monday, March 12 to attend

 Members of the Architects League of Northern New Jersey may attend this meeting as a complimentary benefit. Non-members and guests of the League are welcome at $50 per person, reservations required.
