In Ranquist Development Group Office, Radutny Architects use large glass panels as transparent walls in between bricks. The idea is to not only borrow the light from surrounding but also broaden the view at the same time. The feeling is gorgeous.

I really like this project, especially the photo with a woman sitting and looking at the creation, such a stunning contrast. How long does the displacement hold in the location, or is it still there?

Since our current studio project site is right next to Eleanor Boathouse, it will be great to hear Studio Gang introduce the project and we can learn more not only the architecture but their aspect of the project as well.

The bright red storage shed of Ping Tom Boathouse somehow reminds me those follies in Parc de la Villette. I'm wondering the explanation for the color decision.

"The building’s geometry takes its cue directly from the path of the river. The Station/Vending Area runs parallel to the southwest branch while the storage shed mirrors the northerly path the river takes towards downtown Chicago." #iitpropractice
@NanqiF@IIT_ARC_413_568 I argue that Sony and Thompson are not similar. Despite the areas for both might look the same, one act as a umbrella for buildings group and the other is a stand-alone individual architecture.
“Our buildings are luminous, not illuminated,” said Gonzalez-Pulido.
The designs of translucent facade can be found in most of JAHN's projects and most of them have been consider in the early design process. Trend, concept, style?

@EgoestoiiT @IIT_ARC_413_568 I think they do both; within a team there're seniors who have deep knowledge on specific project type (code, requirement ... ) and they lead/share experience/teach others that are "young" to the type of project.

In the article "THINK Workplace", HED emphasizes "workplace intelligence is the combination of tech and innovation that unlocks the potential of a company" I'm curious, should this notion applies to every kind of industry and business?

In the slideshow "10 PRINCIPLES OF SOM'S CITY DESIGN PRACTICE" , SOM emphasizes "Heritage" at the last slide. As a pioneer architecture firm, mentions "Future" several times in many projects, how does the firm find balance in these 2 extremes?
#iitpropractice@IIT_ARC_413_568
People often make prediction and imagination on future, so that becomes the vision. In architecture pratice, if the reality in later future deviate from the initial vision, would you fix the design or just let it be?

@huazhong_wang @IIT_ARC_413_568 I think the "vision" come in to play.
What vision does the architect want to bring to the community. There's nothing wrong with the vision "dream" and that shouldn't be easily give up because of conflict.
