We had a short time frame of about 6 weeks... Rosie from the Austin Parks Foundation had expressed some interest in some more benches in parks earlier in the year. So, we put the two together.<br /><br />We came up with a simple, yet elegant design and sought out some donations from Lowe's and Home Depot - both donated materials. Our friends at Athena Manufacturing agreed to powder coat the steel frames as well - they also powder coated the frames from the last set of benches.<br /><br />Currently we are fabricating the frames and expect to install in early June after the Parks Department refinishes the courts.<br /><br />Here's a sketch of the design and a photo of Bonnie Rodd, a UT student, cutting some steel.the Daveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10140222768235074823noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862227422627345176.post-85849522868533843912011-01-27T08:26:00.001-08:002011-01-27T08:30:15.503-08:00The Moustache.... errrrr...

We are proposing to reinterpret the interaction from a two way verbal communication mechanism to a mechanism that encourages play as physical communication. The image of children using two tin cans and a string as a makeshift telephone - both a toy and a tool simultaneously - leads to the retro-activating of the phone booth from a tool back to a toy, but in the transformation the distinction is blurred and made irrelevant. It is both things simultaneously.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The goal of the installation is to activate the area by reinventing the phone booth as a see-saw.The El Chilito site on Manor Rd. provides the ideal place for this reinvention. The site is a gathering place for both young fashionable people and families.The corner location is a north-south / east-west crossing point in a part of Austin that is itself being reinvented. The El Chilito sign as the installation location provides a visual counter point to the outdoor seating area, an ideal place for meeting and people watching.

All steel components were waterjet cut, while all wooden components were made by hand. Similarly, the exploration also touched on synthesizing different functions into one piece of furniture. The geometry is set by an "average familial back curve," a profile determined to be the most comfortable for the client's family by measuring each family members back in position and averaging the curves. Connections are resolved with dry fit joints instead of mechanical fasteners. Material palette includes mesquite, steel, and resin, finished with danish and linseed oils. The project was created in 2008.<br /></span></span></div></div>Nicolashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01406968667352205380noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862227422627345176.post-82542479602419683262010-08-09T20:34:00.000-07:002010-08-16T22:09:40.429-07:00Tennis Court Benches<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD4-iAMg0I/AAAAAAAABaI/oxYM-tiPsPU/s1600/Bench+Peeps.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499168898182579010" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; cursor: pointer; height: 300px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD4-iAMg0I/AAAAAAAABaI/oxYM-tiPsPU/s400/Bench+Peeps.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD4-DrCdmI/AAAAAAAABaA/KboJQ_OGd0I/s1600/Bench+close.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499168890040776290" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 300px; cursor: pointer; height: 400px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD4-DrCdmI/AAAAAAAABaA/KboJQ_OGd0I/s400/Bench+close.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD49mSZ06I/AAAAAAAABZ4/YTFbosAVEvA/s1600/photo2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499168882152821666" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; cursor: pointer; height: 300px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD49mSZ06I/AAAAAAAABZ4/YTFbosAVEvA/s400/photo2.jpg" border="0" /></a>Benches were fabricated for the Dottie Jordan Park Tennis Courts in conjunction with Architecture for Humanity and Ben Butler.<br /><br />Materials used were steel and massaranduba.

A peculiar roof was born of the client's desire for a traditional shed roof form and the constraints of the existing roof structure. The resulting trapezoid's splayed rafters create a forced perspective. This perception of increased depth imparts a certain grandness to the relatively shallow space. Designed and built in collaboration with Jonas Fox for our friend Teddy the dog trainer.</div></span></div>Nicolashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01406968667352205380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862227422627345176.post-23372170610134740622010-08-01T19:29:00.000-07:002010-08-16T20:52:36.990-07:00Lobby at Aqua at Allison Island, Florida<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500634634605864162" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 213px; cursor: pointer; height: 320px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-4o-zghznQw/TFYuDnrkpOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/2HYdn60vM7M/s320/3.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500637229262803682" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 270px; cursor: pointer; height: 320px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-4o-zghznQw/TFYwaph_kuI/AAAAAAAAAAU/eOeXbNW-784/s320/STIR_SK.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500638431161117922" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 213px; cursor: pointer; height: 320px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-4o-zghznQw/TFYxgm84bOI/AAAAAAAAAAc/mCd33IWnYbU/s320/P1000318.jpg" border="0" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-4o-zghznQw/TFYx3LCl9KI/AAAAAAAAAAk/fHxM5OP8cik/s1600/Corner.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500638818805871778" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 233px; cursor: pointer; height: 320px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-4o-zghznQw/TFYx3LCl9KI/AAAAAAAAAAk/fHxM5OP8cik/s320/Corner.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">Lobby and recreation center completed in 2004 under Alexander Gorlin.</span>charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04965779445722869817noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862227422627345176.post-33237681798955241432010-07-28T20:57:00.001-07:002010-08-15T19:06:40.271-07:00Barkitecture 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD_Ws_jN2I/AAAAAAAABbI/IY1mKjhndoI/s1600/DSCF5424.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499175910519289698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD_Ws_jN2I/AAAAAAAABbI/IY1mKjhndoI/s400/DSCF5424.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD_V0VAZvI/AAAAAAAABbA/yBdf_0Lx_EQ/s1600/Becky2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499175895308461810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD_V0VAZvI/AAAAAAAABbA/yBdf_0Lx_EQ/s400/Becky2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD_VurkDNI/AAAAAAAABa4/ah0oqX_5Tpg/s1600/V+Doghouse.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499175893792459986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 259px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD_VurkDNI/AAAAAAAABa4/ah0oqX_5Tpg/s400/V+Doghouse.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD_VaiDdiI/AAAAAAAABaw/nuo6gK6gOYY/s1600/DSCF5329.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499175888383866402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFD_VaiDdiI/AAAAAAAABaw/nuo6gK6gOYY/s400/DSCF5329.JPG" border="0" /></a>This doghouse was created for Austin Barkitecture 2009 in conjunction with Architecture for Humanity. We wanted to create a multifunctional piece of architecture. The doghouse moonlights as a bench and a planter. It was awarded "Best Backyard Bungalow".<br /><br />Materials used were cypress, steel, luan, waterproofing membrane, paint, dirt and flowers. The wood and most of the power tools were donated by Pollen Architecture. The waterproofing membrane was donated and installed by Scott White of Siplast. The steel plate was bent by Hawkeye. The welder was donated by Handmade. The dog is Oscar.the Daveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10140222768235074823noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862227422627345176.post-40049854037466696752010-07-28T20:12:00.000-07:002010-08-16T21:11:36.676-07:00Chinatown Bookmap<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFDyNs3xVKI/AAAAAAAABZg/-BV1s-Due_Q/s1600/BookMap1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 395px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFDyNs3xVKI/AAAAAAAABZg/-BV1s-Due_Q/s400/BookMap1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499161462216676514" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFDyNL0uxJI/AAAAAAAABZY/MfBh5tcBX1k/s1600/BookMap4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9-gdRnvNAK0/TFDyNL0uxJI/AAAAAAAABZY/MfBh5tcBX1k/s400/BookMap4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499161453345555602" border="0" /></a> Words become direction. Fiction becomes map. Ephemerality becomes purpose.<br /><br />A path through Portland's Chinatown is found within a story. This bookmap can be found in several art galleries in Portland's Oldtown/Chinatown. Take it for a spin.<br /><br />Materials used were canvas, ink, wood dowels and ipe.
