The design process and its tools, including custom manual forming tools and a reconfigurable slumping kiln, are as significant to the work as the resultant glass components, Diffuse Globes and Distort Windows. Casting techniques and the limited range of material available to work at the high temperatures necessary to form glass are the basis of the research. Such tools construct environments to control the thermal performance through time-based processes, choreographing the work and physical mediations. {process film} by Stebs Schinnerer of Paper Fortress A collaboration between: Wes McGee of Matter Studio Design and Catie Newell of Alibi Studio with Aaron Willette, Lucy Olechowski, Brandon Clifford Fabrication Team: Grant Weaver, Simon Rolka, Patrick Ethen, Maciej Kaczynski, Etienne Turpin, Andrew Stern, Brian Muscat, Chuck Newell Consultant: Steve Karnowski This work has been funded by: Research Through Making Grant | Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and Office of the Vice President of Research | University of Michigan http://www.cathlynnewell.com/As-Built http://www.cathlynnewell.com/following/cathlynnewell.com/As-Built Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:21:44 +0000 Alibi Studio | Catie Newell 2712734 <img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as5.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="444" width_o="1500" height_o="996" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as5_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as6.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="444" width_o="1500" height_o="996" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as6_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as8.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="444" width_o="1500" height_o="996" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as8_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as7.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="444" width_o="1500" height_o="996" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as7_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="444" width_o="1500" height_o="996" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as3.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="444" width_o="1500" height_o="996" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as3_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as4.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="444" width_o="1500" height_o="996" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/2712734/as4_o.jpg" align="left" /> As-Built is a course collaboration which seeks to strategically interweave the efforts, time, and energy between the research-oriented methodology of thesis prep and the pragmatics of a fabrication seminar to coordinate, explore, and exploit the constraints and realities of actualizing. Acknowledging and embracing that there are aspects of architecture that cannot be fully expressed, explored, or known when left on paper, the course prioritizes hands-on making as well as the iterative prototyping necessary to expose and actively utilize such effects, atmosphere, material behavior, and physical occupation. The result of the course conglomerate will be the development, construction, and installation of full-scale spatial-skins upon an existing building and the constant discussion, evaluation, and projection of such methods of research. The course will exploit, but not emphasize, the FABLab, Metals Lab, and Woodshop as a means of actualizing. Emphasis will be evenly placed on production of the installation, situation of the work within the field of architecture, and projection towards individual research for the culminating thesis year. The act of building, especially within an existing context, introduces the variable of the unforeseen and the necessity to adjust with agility. Actualizing can be described as the practice of intelligent improvisation. A working dialogue will emerge between the unpredictable nuance of site, material detailing/properties, and design agenda and resultants. Students will learn to recognize and exploit accidents created by complex constraints. Other practical considerations will contribute to the conversation of construction, including material economy; construction sequence; bureaucracy; component transport; and on-site adjustment. As a means to emphasize actualization, the scale of the detail and the tectonic assembly can be convincingly moved to the forefront as primary design concerns, constraints, and effects. Similar in scope and complexity to a major installation project, the scale of built interventions will enforce an active dialogue of such constraints not often attainable in a singular seminar. At an moment when building anew is complicated by ethics and economy, the course will enact actualizing upon an existing site. The course conglomerate will prompt an immediate and intense focus upon an existing 2-story street-front commercial building within North Corktown of Detroit. This focus will facilitate a deep investigation of the specific site and its necessary spatial-skins (internal/external, vertical/horizontal, sealed/penetrable, and the volume of occupation). Chosen for its ailing condition and projection to be modified, the site/building, while secure in structure, lacks sufficient enclosure, permitting the thorough investigation into the proposals of new and alternate enclosure conditions and atmospherics made possible through sheet-metal spatial-skins. Students will collectively complete a thorough survey of the subject building and its existing tectonic construction before initiating the group-based component of tectonic research and culminating full-scale intervention.

It was hosted by the GRAM in their outdoor plaza giving the work a new setting and audience. See 1/2 of Lefty fly over Righty: Raw Video on moving day. Salvaged Landscape received the Use of Urban Space juried award! Here is the award announcement video from the award at the ceremony and ball. Salvaged Landscape has since returned to Detroit. It is positioned at the end of a former driveway to nowhere, awaiting its further life as a material and space that is seemingly impossible to conclude. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1984669/upup.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="444" width_o="1029" height_o="683" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1984669/upup_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.cathlynnewell.com/Diptych http://www.cathlynnewell.com/following/cathlynnewell.com/Diptych Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:31:59 +0000 Alibi Studio | Catie Newell 1556719 DIPTYCH <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/DSC_0343low.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="445" width_o="1350" height_o="897" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/DSC_0343low_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP06web.jpg" border="0" width="576" height="382" width_o="576" height_o="382" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP06web_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP01.jpg" border="0" width="576" height="382" width_o="576" height_o="382" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP01_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP02web.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="444" width_o="1500" height_o="996" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP02web_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP03web.jpg" border="0" width="382" height="576" width_o="382" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP03web_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP05web.jpg" border="0" width="576" height="382" width_o="576" height_o="382" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP05web_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP04web.jpg" border="0" width="576" height="383" width_o="576" height_o="383" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP04web_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP08web.jpg" border="0" width="430" height="648" width_o="430" height_o="648" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/1556719/Newell_ALP08web_o.jpg" align="left" /> Exhibit installation for the Architectural League Prize for Young Architects and designers. The steel armature suspends photographic documentation of the two projects submitted to the "It's Different" competition: Weatherizing and Salvaged Landscape. Text from the exhibit pamphlet: "Agitating" the context of the smooth white gallery walls, Catie Newell's "Diptych" suspends photographs of two of her recent projects in a "sliced metal framework that constructs and aggressive atmosphere for the works." Exemplifying the firm's interest in altering and amplifying existing conditions, the steel armature provides a backdrop as well as a second reading for the images, allowing the projects to be read in thematic relationship with on another. The combination of contrasting textures, finely finished and rusted, point to Alibi Studios' ongoing "investigation of Inhabitable Textures, which experiment with the foils of light/dark, delicate/aggressive, and floating/tethered (amongst others) enclosures and surfaces." Exhibited at the Parsons New School Gallery. Opening and Lecture: June 15th, 7pm. For more info, visit the Architectural League event announcement.

Used to imprint the space and excite the atmosphere, this inhabitable texture is driven by the manipulation of factory standard acrylic rods to capture, manipulate, and distort the existing volumes of the second story of Spencer’s Funeral home in Flint, Michigan, a house slated for demolition. Inherently transparent, the material both captures and permits the passing of light, visually distorting its presence and the view beyond, through refraction and reflection, altering both the context, the perception of its physical boundaries, and heightening the role of the building in the neighborhood. The work agitates, relocates, and makes accessible new volumes otherwise once unoccupiable: the exterior zone, the wall depth, and the depth of a windowsill. As a further technique of distortion and interplay of tectonic connection and assembly, the acrylic rods are systematically manipulated through the use of heat. One such technique allows for the bending and forming of components to create a pattern that resonates with its context, but also distorts the a priori relationships within the house to construct depth and volume originally unused or nonexistent. A further alteration is the tapering and pulling of the material, developing extensions and strands that flee in a near weightless in pursuit of space, altering the perception and depth they occupy. The otherness of Second Story is further heightened by suspending the piece above the ground by tethering it to the building’s roof trusses so that it hovers to promote a ephemeral sense of space, an attuned acknowledgement of its surrounding, and an implied stretched atmosphere.

Such an approach aims to celebrate and harness these shifting intensities into a productive entanglement of site and design therefore removing the possibility of considering site as a given context. This method treats site as an active input into a sensitive system that anticipates and registers the momentary energies of the site. The project that emerges is an assembly system that registers and amplifies the role of the varying weather conditions from calm to extreme of a site. This particular instance is a test of a coastal situation that encounters drastic changes in water levels and wave intensities due to atmospheric situations both geographically near and far from the site. The entire assembly produces different visual and spatial affects as well as harnesses and redirects the energies. This renders times of storms or seemingly disastrous situations, quite advantageous in the production of energy, as a power plant as well as constantly changing visual and spatial registrations of the natural phenomenon engrained into the site. It is therefore a challenge to our notion of site and an amplification of its potentials. http://www.cathlynnewell.com/Salvaging http://www.cathlynnewell.com/following/cathlynnewell.com/Salvaging Sun, 02 Jan 2011 01:04:06 +0000 Alibi Studio | Catie Newell 894516 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0549.jpg" border="0" width="602" height="400" width_o="602" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0549_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0569.jpg" border="0" width="602" height="400" width_o="602" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0569_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0525.jpg" border="0" width="266" height="400" width_o="266" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0525_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0577.jpg" border="0" width="602" height="400" width_o="602" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0577_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0535.jpg" border="0" width="602" height="400" width_o="602" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0535_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/101010end.jpg" border="0" width="602" height="400" width_o="602" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/101010end_o.jpg" align="left" /> {image 4}<img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0572.jpg" border="0" width="602" height="400" width_o="602" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0572_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0598.jpg" border="0" width="266" height="400" width_o="266" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_0598_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_05420.jpg" border="0" width="266" height="400" width_o="266" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/DSC_05420_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/inprocess.jpg" border="0" width="266" height="400" width_o="266" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/73942/894516/inprocess_o.jpg" align="left" />
