Architecture at ASU

Join us next week for a discussion with Architect, Martín Huberman will be delivering a talk about his work as the director of Estudio Normal in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as well as his internationally renowned work with curation, installations, and archiving -- which includes the Storefront for Art and Architecture (NYC), Espacio de Arquitectura (CDMX), the Canadian Center for Architecture (Montreal), and the Archive of Arq. Amancio Williams. Martín will describe his unique model of professional practice, tracing back to his time as a student in the Applied Research Collaborative (ARC) studio in The Design School at Arizona State University in 2007, to Estudio Normal's latest installation, which will be on exhibit at Coachella in April of 2022.

Huge congratulations to Diébédo Francis Kéré and to the team for winning the Pritzker Architecture Prize for 2022. So well deserved! Reflecting on images and video from Francis’ visit to ASU and to as the 2018 Curt Shafer Memorial Lecture speaker. It was such an inspiring visit and talk for our students and our professional community. . .

Our 3rd year studios all explored collective housing this semester. This project, completed by Jadyn Anderson and Daniil Hristiuc, titled “Ascension,” was awarded Design Excellence for the term.

One of our 4th year studios was focused around the design of new historical museum for the City of Tempe on a significant site on the south bank of the Rio Salado. This design focused on the relationships between the river, food, and the exchange of culture and knowledge.

This project, from our “Architecture of Live Collections” first semester 500-level studio, is the design for an expansion of the Glasshouses at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh, Scotland.

“La Onda”, a resilience focused project from this Fall’s Global Engagement Studio to Puerto Rico.

Our 500-level M.Arch students this semester were tasked with adaptive reuse and expansion of an existing building. This project proposes converting the US Embassy in Dublin, Ireland into a prototype for a vertical living machine, to address the significant CO2 issues in Dublin, and a unique hotel/hospitality experience for the surrounding businesses and destinations in the area.
