Crossing Scales/Cultures/Disciplines: a Personal Reflection on 10 Years of Design Studios" Tube. Duration : 78.83 Mins.
Andrea Leers is principal and co-founder with Jane Weinzapfel, of Leers Weinzapfel Associates, a Boston based practice whose work lies at the intersection of architecture, urban design, and infrastructure and is notable for its inventiveness in dramatically complex projects. The firm's acclaimed projects include the Expansion of the Harvard Science Center, the Harvard New College Theatre/Farkas Hall (formerly Hasty Pudding), the University of Pennsylvania Chiller Plant, several courthouses including the Federal Courthouse in Orlando FL and the Taunton Trial Court in Taunton MA, and the recently completed Paul S. Russell, MD Museum of Medical History and Innovation at Massachusetts General Hospital. Leers Weinzapfel Associates has received over 65 design awards and was honored in 2007 with the AIA Firm Award, the highest honor the AIA bestows on an architecture firm. A monograph on the firm's work "Made to Measure: the Work of Leers Weinzapfel Associates was published in 2011 by Princeton Architectural Press. Andrea Leers holds an undergraduate degree in art history from Wellesley College, and a Masters of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Fine Arts. She is former Director of the Master in Urban Design Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Design where she was Adjunct Professor of Architecture and Urban Design from 2001 to 2011 following several years as Visiting Critic. Her studios integrating architecture and urban design include ...

FLARE - kinetic ambient reflection membrane Video Clips. Duration : 2.30 Mins.
FLARE is a pneumatic building facade system. The FLARE system consists of a number of tiltable metal flake bodies. An infinite array of flakes can be mounted on any building or wall surface in a modular system of multiplied 4x4 FLARE units. Each stainless steel flake reflects the bright sky or sunlight when in vertical standby position. When the flake is tilted downwards by a computer controlled pneumatic piston, its face is shaded from the sky light and this way appears as a dark pixel. By reflecting ambient or direct sunlight the individual flakes of the FLARE system act like pixels formed by natural light. The system is controlled by a computer to form any kind of surface animation. Sensor systems inside and outside the building communicate the buildings activity directly to the FLARE system which acts as the buildings lateral line. FLARE turns the building facade into a penetrable membrane, breaking with all conventions of the building surface as a static skin. www.flare-facade.com www.whitevoid.com
