BRUCE MAU DESIGN : IN GOOD WE TRUST
Massive change, cultural possibility, positive innovation, and audacious action. Last summer, I was selected through a competitive design charrette for a Research and Design Internship with the global arts and design services fi rm Bruce Mau Design. During this experience, I focused on visual identity and branding, environmental graphics, exhibition development and design, and cultural and business programming. In collaboration with a group of smart, interdisciplinary designers we developed cultural cartography methodologies meant to streamline the research, collection, and presentation of <New Now> innovators, technologies and processes. Using the information and visualizations we constructed 7 exhibition experiences and cultural programming were strategized for 7 themes over 7 weeks in Denver to launch 7 possibilities for the 21st century. The project culminated in the launch of In Good We Trust: Denver Biennial of the Americas, a momentum building lecture series and workshop produced, mediated, and documented by BMD for an international community of ambassadors and innovators.

IN GOOD WE TRUST INNOVATORS
“EVERYWHERE I GO I SAY ‘YOU GOTTA COME TO DENVER’.” When we show people what we are doing here, consistently, almost to a person, people say “Oh my goodness, we have to go to Denver, how do we do this.” It has been an extraordinary experience over the last few months as we have focused on finding the extraordinary people to be part of this. At right is a list of a number of those people.
It is an unorthodox list, of course. One of the things we are focusing on is the notion of “Artscientist.” There is a great book called “ArtScience” that describes how art and science diverged and developed their own specialized cultures and languages, but are now reunifying to create a new kind of dialog. If you think about design, everything we do must be about both art and science. It must be about making things beautiful and compelling, but it also must stand on a foundation of innovation and technology.
THE REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION OF ALASKAN THREESPINE STICKLEBACK
I’m crazy curious--from business to culture, art and science. So when I saw a fl ier in college for an opportunity to travel to Alaska on a research grant, I bit. Alongside a team of Evolutionary Biologists, I researched the Reproductive Isolation of Alaskan Threespine Stickleback. Over the course of this adventure--diving in calved-in glaciers and snorkeling through marshes in drysuits, collecting and analyzing fi eld work and lab data--I fi rst learned the value of hard work, collaboration, and the rigor of scientifi c research, but more importantly I developed a reverence for the complexity and dynamism of the biological systems around us.

MADHAVPURA MARKETPLACE, AHMEDABAD, INDIAManu Sobti, PhD, University-Wisconsin at Milwaukee [email protected] Ahmedabad, India
How do you approach design in a foreign context? For a site entrenched in history and memory? For a people strug-gling to come to terms with the need for new infrastructures and subsequent loss of familiar space?
Established 4 centuries ago, Madhavpura Market is entrenched in history despite the rapidly changing urban environment in which it exists. The wholesale market obstinately survives in the midst of an urban legislation that cares little for history or memory. The once advantageous location on the axes of 2 majors streets outside the city wall has been engulfed by the growing congestion of the old city, + the emergence of digital clearinghouses for goods has the potential to revolutionize the marketplace, or even eliminate its necessity completely. An intervention in Madhavpura Market must deal with the con-fl ict, contestation, adjustment + reconciliation between the past, present + future; it must concurrently esteem, embrace + innovate. The proposal has no intention of streamlining or making ‘effi cient’ the perceived chaos of the market, and through the application of a range of design processes, dissected the western perspective of chaos as a means to understand a complex foreign environment.

MADHAVPURA MARKETPLACE, AHMEDABAD, INDIA
In collaboration with architecture and urban planning students from CEPT University, we compiled and made visual historical research, interviews, movement patterns, inherent hierarchies, embeddedness, incremental growth, urban edges, spaces and activities, formal characteristics, and climatic responses. In response to this project, I devised a book of patterns and diagrams as a means to comprehend the complex, dynamic foreign environment and create a framework through which design strategies could be developed, layering on new patterns of sustainability and adaptability.
650 people were asked in January 2009 words to describe fi nancial institutions.
MAKE CHANGE: CREDIT UNION SERVING THE GREATER GOODNeil Frankel, FAIA 312.697.1620 [email protected] Chicago, IL
Greedy, impersonal, opportunistic and distant, the fi nancial services industry needs a design bailout. Last spring, I was selected as 1 of 14 students for a Distinguished Critic Design Studio in Chicago with Neil Frankel, FAIA, that focused on the connection between social research and design excellence for the architectural interior environment. The studio served as consultants for a credit union design-build fi rm, unpacking consumer perceptions of fi nancial service institutions in the wake of the recession, dissecting and reshaping the credit union business model to identify key opportunities within this context and addressing these in comprehensive brand experience.
Make Change confronts current issues in the fi nancial industry by designing a credit union that serves the greater good. Through a unique combination of both fi nancial + philanthropic endeavors, Make Change strengthens relationships between members, and with the physical space, reestablishing a lost connection between communities and their fi nancial institutions. At the gateway to Chicago’s fi nancial district from the major commuter networks, Make Change is a highly visible, optimistic vision for the future of the industry.

Toss the “ATM inside sign.” Through Custom-designed personal fi nance kiosks, individuals interact with fi nancial professionals 24/7, in accordance with Gen Ys needs. In addition to traditional fi nancial transactions, individuals have the power to plan and communicate volunteer opportunities and donate time or money, which is then translated to dynamic LED red line “graphs” projecting from each kiosk out into the street. This dynamic line serves as a graphic representation of each respective kiosks’ contribution to the greater good, increasing visibility of the kiosk, Greater Good Projects, and Make Change as the new face of the fi nancial services industry.

MELTWATER: CARBON +/- HOUSECHRIS CORNELIUS SOLAR DECATHLON COMPETITION 2009 WASHINGTON, D.C.
MELTWATER IS: MILWAUKEE.UW-Milwaukee was selected as 1 of 20 colleges to participate in an international competition hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy to design, build, and operate the most attractive and energy-effi cient solar-powered house. The project is carried out over the course of 6 semesters, culminating in the construction of the home on the National Mall in Washington D.C., October 9, 2009. Following the competition, the home will be re-constructed at a site in the Menomenee River Valley, Milwaukee, WI as a educational facility.
MELTWATER IS: EARTH-SHAPING STRENGTH.The concept of the home is wedded to our region, as meltwater landforms makeup much of our recognizable landscape. Using nature as a model, the form of the roof signifi es the carving away of the earth’s surface while the facade represents the layers of subsurface stratifi cation. The sustainably harvested white pine from the Aldo Leopold Foundation forms the topographical façade sweeping across the front of the building, reminding us where the building and its makers come from, an indelible tie to our region. The powerful change-of-state involved in melting the glaciers during the Wisconsin Glaciation Period provided the model for the home’s many multi-functional components that adapt to the changing needs of its inhabitants. The form and potential of the home takes on the strength characterized by the natural processes that reworked our regional landscape.
MELTWATER IS: ENERGY COLLECTION, RELEASE + RECIPROCITY.Using nature as a resource, Meltwater harnesses infi nite solar power and fosters the collection of our fi nite freshwater supply. The distinct valley of the roof and the prominent placement of the photovoltaic panels communicate the value placed on these resources in the functioning of the home and our environment. Additionally, each material was carefully chosen with respect to the location of origin and quality in order to create a home that is both sustainable and has the ability to capture the essence of our region. Created of our region and for our region, Meltwater addresses the resources and needs specifi c to our place.

AN | ARCHITECTURE : CATALYTIC UN-MAKINGMark Sexton, FAIA M. Arch Thesis Advisor 312.787.0056 [email protected] Chicago, IL
Currently there are over 100 stalled building projects worldwide. Unfortunately, a vast majority of our architectural inquiry focuses on successive stages of growth, ignoring the opportunities in the interludes and un-making. The intervention proposes a phased sculptural deconstruction and material reutilza-tion of an unfi nished super-tall, reversing the fundamental object-centered hubris of the mega-project to that of an integrated cultural catalyst, in service to the surrounding urban context.
The phased sculptural deconstruction serves as a sensitive receptor to changes over time and space, simultaneously activating the current framework and unlocking the site for future development. A cultural catalyst, curiosity and script for the reutilization of building materials, the intervention challenges conceptions of architecture, art and growth. As the building is sculpturally deconstructed the circumstances of the project and demolition are no longer viewed as a negative process but a celebration for cultural creation, urban revitalization, identity building, and positive momentum, opening up the site to future possibilities.
