Studio Ma

Cornell colleagues and students, please join me this Thursday at 5:30pm in Milstein Auditorium as I explore four "lessons from the desert" we use at Studio Ma to inform our rigorously-researched, highly-ecological approach to architecture. I will be showing old and new projects outlining four fundamental climatological questions that underlie every single project we engage with at Studio Ma. For anyone not at Cornell, please join us on Zoom.  https://lnkd.in/gEeDWy9Z

Excited for the The American Institute of Architects (AIA) National Convention in Washington D.C. where Christiana Moss be speaking on "The Embassy Effect." At Studio Ma we've been working with the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations on a New Embassy Compound in Praia, Cabo Verde. We've learned so much about social, environmental, and cultural resiliency; transforming local practices and celebrations into built form; and the particular needs of complex international work. Please join her along with Curtis Clay, Marion Weiss, Javier Arizmendi, and Susan Chin on Thursday June 6th at 2pm in Room 206.

Had fun yesterday meeting new people and seeing familiar faces (that I hope to see again soon) to share thoughts over a giant post-it. We have some fun ideas brewing. Thank you John Czarnecki and Sarah Levi.

It’s been a great week for Fusion on First! Gratified to see our mixed-use project for Arizona State University featured in AZURE Media. Major thanks to writer Sophie Sobol for understanding and reflecting our particular approach to sustainability. As she writes, "Studio Ma treats architecture as a living, breathing, ecological practice, championing the idea that the built environment is part of the natural landscape as well as the urban fabric." https://lnkd.in/gBRAh83v 

We are delighted to share that our Arizona State University project Fusion on First has been featured in a fantastic story by the brilliant Sam Lubell for Metropolis Magazine. Sam spent a lot of time with everyone involved and captured the combination of programmatic creativity, ecological sensitivity and skill, and culturally-oriented placemaking that we sought to bring to the project. As Lubell writes, "With students living and working together the creativity builds from morning to night. That combination, adds Moss, was a key directive from ASU, which wanted to create an even more active, 24/7 downtown campus." Read the full story out in Metropolis now.  https://lnkd.in/ey5_pqBK
