oldface coming in azure: SEPTEMBER 2014 Designs that are shaping the future Plus + Kitchens and appliances to bring out your inner chef show Reports from ICFF in New York, NeoCon in Chicago and the Biennale in Venice and the winners are… In May, the Canada Council for the Arts and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada presented this year’s Governor General’s Medals in Architecture, at a ceremony held at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. Recognized for the outstanding designs of a dozen recently completed buildings, the winners included Teeple Architects, for the 60 Richmond East Housing Co-operative in Toronto; Les Architectes FABG, for the revitalization of a gas station in Verdun, Quebec, designed by Ludvig Mies van der Rohe; and Patkau Architects, for Tula House on Quadra Island, British Columbia. RAIC also bestowed fellowships for outstanding achie vement on 34 architects, including Halifax’s Graeme Duffus; Sylvie Girard of Montreal; Siamak Hariri and David Pontarini of Toronto; and Vancouver’s Lubor Tomas Trubka. Bjarke Ingels and Antoine Predock received honorary fellowships. The full lists can be viewed at raic.org. The American Institute of Architects and its committee on the environment have named their Top Ten Award recip ients; the program celebrates sus tain able architecture and ecological design. This year’s list honours Holst Architecture’s Bud Clark Commons in Portland, Oregon; Mithun’s Sustainability Treehouse in West Virginia; and Snow Kreilich Architects’ U.S. Port of Land Entry in Minnesota. The committee also selected a Top Ten Plus Project for the year, awarded to a former Top Ten lister that now has quantifiable data to prove the design’s impact. The Iowa Utilities Board / Office of the Consumer Advocate Office Building, by BNIM, made the original list in 2012. Leading by example, the utilities regulator’s headquarters consumes power at a rate of 81.5 per cent below the national average, with a roof-mounted photo - voltaic installation that provides 25 per cent of the building’s energy needs. More details are online at aia.org. In June, Phyllis Lambert, founder of the Canadian Centre for Architecture, received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Architecture Biennale’s Fun damentals opening. She was selected by the bien nale’s board and 2014 curator Rem Koolhaas, of OMA. Lambert is renowned for her role as director of planning for the 1958 Seagram Building in New York, which she commissioned Mies van der Rohe to design. This year’s Pulitzer Prize for journalistic criticism went to architectural writer Inga Saffron, whose engaging column, Changing Skyline, has been a weekly fixture in the Philadelphia Inquirer for the past 15 years. Patrizia Moroso, art director of Moroso, has received a high honour: Italian president Giorgio Napolitano has appointed her as a Cavaliere del Lavoro. The designation recognizes the visionary collaborator, known for transforming her family’s furniture brand into a leading name, for her ongoing contribution to local industry. The winners of the prestigious Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards have been selected by a diverse jury, which included architect Tom Kundig and fashion designer Anna Sui. Brooks + Scarpa Architects, of Los Angeles, took the architecture design title; while New York’s Roman and Williams Buildings and Interiors won for interior design; LUNAR was named for product design; and Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture of San Fran cisco was recognized as well. E-commerce giant Etsy took the corporate and institutional achievement category; and a lifetime achievement award went to Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar, founders of the brand design firm Cher mayeff & Geismar & Haviv. The recip ients will be honoured at a gala in New York in October. See the complete list at cooperhewitt. org. The Designs of the Year Awards in seven cate gor ies have been chosen by the Design Museum, London. Curator Gemma Curtin describes the program as “a condensed and vivid selection of the last 12 months in design,” and an insight into how the various disciplines can benefit individuals and society. The awards are given in the categories of architecture, digital, fashion, furniture, graphics, product and transport; the winners for each will now compete for the overall prize. These include the Pro Chair Family, from Konstantin Grcic; James Bridle’s Drone Shadows installation; and the Peek smart phone– based eye exam kit, developed by Andrew Bastawrous, Stewart Jordan, Mario Giardini and Ian Livingstone. An exhibition at the museum presents the honourees until August 25. Full details at designmuseum.org. The inaugural Isamu Noguchi Award for Kindred Spirits in Innovation, Global Consciousness and Japanese/ American Exchange was presented to architect Norman Foster and photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto during the Noguchi Museum’s spring benefit in New York. The two were chosen for their work based on principles that inspired the museum’s founder, a prominent Japanese- American artist and landscape architect. Movers and shakers The Canadian Centre for Architecture has appointed Giovanna Borasi as chief curator. She has been with the organization since 2005, when she joined as curator of contemporary architecture. In her new role, she plans to make better use of the institution’s resources by unifying research, acquisitions, exhibitions and publications. Ilias Papageorgiou has been promoted to partner with New York design office SO-IL. A graduate of Aristotle University in Greece and the master’s program at Harvard’s School of Architecture, he has worked at the firm since its inception in 2008, and has led such projects as the Shrem Museum of Art at the University of California, Davis. As part of the 2014–15 Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative, Pritzker Prize Laureate Peter Zumthor has selected Gloria Cabral, partner in Paraguayan firm Gabinete de Arquitectura, as his protege. The program pairs young talent with leading artists in seven disciplines, including architecture, for a year-long collaboration. A complete list is online at rolexmentorprotege.com. On the boards Herzog & de Meuron has been announced as the architects for the new Vancouver Art Gallery. With such past projects as the Tate Modern in London and the De Young Museum in San Francisco, the Swiss firm seems a natural fit. It was chosen for its demonstration of “a deep commitment to and respect for the rich history and unique spirit of the gallery, our community, and our surrounding natural and urban environment,” says gallery director Kathleen Bartels. This is the firm’s first Canadian project. In memoriam Pritzker Prize Laureate Hans Hollein has died at the age of 80. After studying at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, the architect returned to his hometown of Vienna, where he gained international recognition for his small-scale work, such as the Retti candle shop. His larger projects include the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frank furt, Germany. He also worked as a journalist and an educator, and was known for products such as his tea and coffee service for Alessi. Italian graphic designer Massimo Vignelli has passed away at 83. Renowned for his New York subway graphics, he launched design firm Unimark International’s New York branch in 1965. After resigning, he founded Vignelli Associates in 1971, with his wife, Lella; their clients included Knoll and American Airlines. Following years of sharing his knowledge through books and teaching, he donated his archives to the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2008. jul ⁄ aug 2014 105
