Paperback. Condition: New. In this first book on the work and vision of Houston-based architecture firm Schaum/Shieh, founders Troy Schaum and Rosalyne Shieh invite their readers into the studio. It is a real and conceptual space where they work on recurring themes: operating within the city at the scale of building (urbanism); the interrelation of materiality, units of form, and building products (tectonics); and ways to collaborate with the life of a building in its context (preservation), among others. In addition to visual material drawn from all stages of the design process, what is equally important to Blanking is what is said and what can be heard in the studio. So much of architectural thinking and knowledge is presented, formulated, and traded in spoken words: the pinup, the meeting, the walkthrough. This material is the medium within which projects are formulated. Those exchanges informs this book, in which ideas and knowledge usually only spoken is written down and made accessible to readers.The book is also informed by a process borrowed from metal fabrication called blanking. In the context of Schaum/Shieh's practice, the term describes the collaborative formulation of ideas around a collection of terms and images that make up a conceptual lexicon for practice. Projects drawn from 15 years of collaboration are set within a wide range of textual material, reframing the studio practice away from individual works and toward the navigation of values, questions, and propositions as knowledge.Contributions by distinguished authors, including Stanley T. Allen, Ana Miljacki, Toshiko Mori, and Sarah M. Whiting, round out this monograph.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The first book on the work and vision of Houston-based architecture firm Schaum/Shieh. In this first monographic book on the work and vision of Houston-based architecture firm Schaum/Shieh, founders Troy Schaum and Rosalyne Shieh invite their readers into the studio. It is a real and conceptual space where they work on recurring themes: operating within the city at the scale of building (urbanism); the interrelation of materiality, units of form, and building products (tectonics); and, ways to collaborate with the life of a building in its context (preservation), among others. In addition to visual material at all stages of figuring and finality, equally important and less documented is what is said and what can be heard in the studio. So much of architectural thinking and knowledge is presented, formulated, and traded in spoken words: the pinup, the meeting, the walk-through. This material is the medium within which projects are formulated. That pedagogy of the studio informs this book, in which the information and knowledge usually only spoken is written down and made accessible to a reader. Organised into ten chapters led by ten thematic questions, formed by a process that Schaum and Shieh borrow from metal fabrication: Blanking. In the context of their practice, the term describes the collaborative formulation of ideas around a collection of terms and images that make up a conceptual lexicon for practice. In this book, it takes the form of material, projects, and buildings drawn from 15 years of collaboration set within a wide range of textual material, reframing practice away from individual works and toward the navigation of values, questions, and propositions as knowledge formed in the studio. AUTHORS: Troy Schaum and Rosalyne Shieh are architects and educators, and the founding principals of Houston-based firm Schaum/Shieh Architects. Schaum teaches as an Associate Professor at Rice University's School of Architecture, Shieh as an Assistant Professor at MIT. SELLING POINTS: .

Paperback. Condition: New. Architecture is the quintessential generalist pursuit, requiring practical knowledge of geometry, technology, politics, history, culture, and economics, as well as an understanding how these disparate pieces fit together within the context of architectural practice. In short, an architect's expertise lies in big picture constructs, or totalization.The latest in the Rice Architecture series, Totalization shows the Rice School of Architecture's Totalization Studios at the forefront of teaching students to leverage the breadth of architectural practice toward in-depth speculative design work. Can a building's exterior be made of plastic? What is the twenty-first-century equivalent of the nineteenth-century steel frame? Can taking parts from a building for use elsewhere extend the building's useful life? Exploring these and other questions in cooperation with four studios - three in Houston, one in Paris - the work collected here challenges conventions around structures; facades; materials; and the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing aspects of building design and construction. The ultimate aim of the Totalization Studios is to eliminate the distinction between speculation and practice in students' final projects.The Totalization Studios represent one of the most innovative and robust architectural programs - a source of inspiration for many other programs worldwide - and this book offers welcome insights into its teaching methods through featured projects.With essays by Troy Schaum, Nat Oppenheimer, Mark Malekshahi, Doug Oliver and Will Cannady, Andrew Colopy, Mark Wamble, Oualalou + Choi and John Casabarian; a discussion with Nat Oppenheimer, interviews with Troy Schaum and Robert Heintges, and a conversation with Linna Choi and Tarik Oualalou. Afterword by Sarah Whiting.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -In dieser ersten Monografie über die Arbeit und Vision des 2009 gegründeten Architekturbüros Schaum/Shieh in Houston, TX, laden die Gründer:innen Troy Schaum und Rosalyne Shieh die Leser:innen in ihr Studio ein. Es ist der reale und konzeptionelle Raum, in dem sie an wiederkehrenden Themen arbeiten. Dies sind beispielsweise das Wirken in der Stadt in der Grössenordnung des einzelnen Gebäudes (Urbanismus); die Wechselbeziehung von Materialität, Formelementen und Bauten (Tektonik); oder die Möglichkeiten zirkulären Bauens an einem Gebäude in seinem Kontext (Erhaltung). Neben reichem visuellem Material aus allen Phasen des Entwurfsprozesses von Schaum/Shieh bildet dieses Buch auch ab, was im Atelier gesagt und gehört wird: Ein Grossteil architektonischen Denkens und Wissens wird in gesprochenen Worten präsentiert, formuliert und gehandelt. Eine an die Wand gehängte Skizze, das Treffen mit Klienten, die Begehung der Baustelle - aus diesem flüchtigen Material werden Projekte formuliert. Der rege Austausch im Studio von Schaum/Shieh bildet die Grundlage für Blanking. Der Titel ist einem Verfahren aus der Metallverarbeitung entlehnt. Im Kontext von Schaum/Shiehs Arbeitsweise beschreibt der Begriff gemeinschaftliches Formulieren von Ideen, ausgehend von einer Sammlung an Begriffen und Bildern, woraus sich ein konzeptionelles Lexikon für die Praxis bildet. Die in dem Band gezeigten Projekte aus fünfzehn Jahren sind deshalb in ein breites Spektrum an Textmaterial eingebettet, das die Arbeit im Atelier weg vom einzelnen Entwurf und hin zur Navigation zwischen Werten, Fragen und Vorschlägen neu definiert. 328 pp. Englisch.
