E. RANDALL HARDER PORTFOLIO

I am passionate about the sensitive creation of place in the built environment. Distinguishing a particular place from another requires

awareness of use, culture, a point in time and context. Architecture has the opportunity to become the backdrop for memory making

experiences. I believe that all people have a desire to connect not only with others but with a place, and in particular, places that foster

a feeling of ownership and community pride.

TRANSfusion The desire to heal, revive, respect & remix the retail community.

TRANSact: Bold new retail concepts intermingle with local favorites to create a spontaneous and exhilarating shopping event that is all at once exclusive, inspiring, global and grounded. Limited edition product offerings, paired with one-night-only entertainment options, create an energy and excitement that traditional retail establishments cannot match.

TRANScend: More than just retail, it is communal… what Ray Oldenburg called the ‘THIRD PLACE’. Combined with live/work loft-style housing units, a zero carbon footprint can be attained. Reduced commuting needs give back our most precious commodity – time

TRANSmutable: This flexible experiment allows developers to easily shift the mix of shops, restaurants, and entertainment to meet the needs of any community at any time of the day.

TRANSlate: Re-purposed shipping containers are fabricated off-site to the specifications of many iconic brands as retail and experience.

TRANSformation: New life is injected via mobile retail villages that fuse shopping, entertainment, food and socialization. Composed of pre-made, sustainable modules inserted into the landscape that adapt to their context. Modifications capitalize on climate conditions and responsibly use and generate the energy within each region.

TRANSportation: Linked to mass transit, these HUBS become the new cores of our communities.

TRANSition: We are at the cusp of a fundamental evolution of retail. New cultural and social communities. New demographic and ethnographic groups. New vocabulary and language. New ways of communicating. New icons and totems. New forms of commerce

TRANSparent: Retail interaction is now a two-way street. Today through online social networks, the customer defines and judges what the brand is, and how it evolves. Developers need to build an architectural framework as a backdrop to retail tenants, who must be fluid in defining who they are, what they stand for and how they stay in synch with their customer.
