Sun Pavilion, Blackie Chester Park, El Paso, TX - a public art commission for City of El Paso, TX - 2017. Work from the Art Studio at RDG Planning & Design - polychrome aluminum and steel - w/ A. Zahner design engineer and fabricator…. #publicart #rdgartstudio #zahner …..inspired by a visit to Hueco Tanks, the Pass, and the mystery and history of the ancient painted masked faces and the surrounding desert flora - we have always gathered around the life force of water and the sun… (at Blackie Chesher Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAqmSkOSDx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Morphosis Computes a Facade for Cornell

The recently completed Bill & Melinda Gates Hall at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, combines the schools’ Computing Science and Information Science departments under one roof. Designed by Morphosis, the facility encourages spontaneous interactions between these two disciplines with common spaces for comingling and transparent partitions that allow views, and daylight, to pass from space to space. The building envelope, a unitized glass curtain wall system, is wrapped in a band of perforated stainless steel panels that forms a dynamic, angular wave pattern across the surface. In addition to creating a sense of movement across the exterior, it serves as a fitting symbol of the contribution that computing has had on the arts and sciences: The architects used advanced digital modeling tools to design the geometry, pattern, and details of this additive layer, and made it to function both as an aesthetic gesture as well as a performance enhancing element of the architecture. “The goal was to establish a consistent level of daylighting throughout the interior,” said Cory Brugger, director of design technology at Morphosis. “We maximized the exterior glazing to get the light coming through. The design of the screen reduces the amount of glare and heat gain and starts to help with the performance of the facade system itself.”
