workJUNE 28, 2012



The subject of this advanced interiors

studio was temporary exhibition design

in the context of contemporary art

fairs. This relatively new typology of

art space paradoxically combines the

glamour of the high art world with the

crass consumerism of the art market,

all under a convention-center roof.

We began by conducting a thorough

research study on emerging trends in

the contemporary art fair scene, which

culminated in the design and publication

of a book. The studio then focused on

the development of a new exhibition

strategy for the Houston Contemporary

Art Fair, an annual four-day art fair

held within the exhibition halls of the

George R. Brown Convention Center in

Houston, TX.

My team's proposal features an

innovative flexible partition system

situated beneath a radical lattice-like

canopy of inflatable glowing tubes.

These tubes serve as conduits for

electricity and information from the

built-in grid of service panels within

the floor of the convention hall to our

new gallery spaces. This umbilical cord

technique allowed us to work with a

cellular scheme that is independent

of the existing building organization.

Gallery partitions were designed with

a system of repetitive flexible modules,

so that when assembled no two galleries

are exactly the same shape.

To complete this project, I built

a comprehensive digital model in

Rhino3D, which was used to generate

photorealistic renderings and digitally-

fabricated presentation models.

Project Description

At the University of Texas, the construction

sequence concludes with a course focused

entirely on material exploration. At the

beginning of the course, students are

instructed to choose a material and to

develop a project after exploring its unique

properties.

After researching the history of architectural

terra-cotta, my project partner and I chose

to develop a set of nesting birdhouses. The

history of terra-cotta ornament provided

the impetus for the design, as we sought to

develop an ornamental element that could

'encrust' an architectural surface.

Drawing upon the unique morphology of Cliff

Swallow colonies, we chose to develop a set

of aggregating units to house Purple Martins,

a native species of Texas.

To create the birdhouses, we employed

a multi-step molding process. First, we

developed a set of wood carvings from which

we created a set of vacuum-formed negative

molds. These molds allowed us to recast

plaster positives. Using the plaster positives,

we created three unique slipcast molds.

Using conventional slipcasting techniques,

we were able to use to final molds to

efficiently produce the first run of prototype

birdhouses.
