Interactive art installation at miami international. Christopher janney.

Nov 3, 2011

click > enlarge

Harmonic Convergence, the newest, large-scale art installation by artist, architect and composer Christopher Janney, is nearing completion at the Miami International Airport. Janney terms Harmonic Convergence “an abstraction of South Florida in color and sound.” The official dedication of Harmonic Convergence will take place in conjunction with Art Basel Miami Beach and Design Miami 2011.

Harmonic Convergence features a 72-foot-long glass window wall utilizing over 150 transparent colors. The project is part of Miami-Dade County’s Art in Public Places program and located in the connector walkway that is the entrance into the airport. As travelers enter the space, they’ll hear a complex set of sounds Janney recorded during trips to the Florida Everglades, scuba dives in the ocean, and other natural environments of South Florida. In addition, two video cameras installed in the ceiling feed information to the computer regarding the pedestrian activity within the space, influencing the density of the sound-score. At the top of each hour, a short composition with percussion instruments plays, marking the time of day. “This is my fifth project in South Florida,” Janney states. “It is one of my favorite places in the world. I love the sounds of the subtropics most particularly the Everglades, the ocean shore and underwater sounds, especially sounds both real, as in whales and porpoises, and imagined, i.e. mermaids and Atlantis.”

Harmonic Convergence replaces Janney’s 1997 airport commission Harmonic Runway, removed after changes to the airport due to 9/11 security. That former artwork had become an icon of South Florida, featured in magazines and films including Harrison Ford in, “Random Hearts” and Nicholas Cage in, “8MM.”

[christoper janney ]
Trained as an architect and jazz musician, Janney is an American artist whose work explores the relationships between sound and architecture, often-transforming otherwise ordinary spaces into “hyper-reality” environments. Educated at Princeton University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Janney has explored the intersection of architecture, creating temporary and permanent installations throughout the United States and Europe. Soundstair on the Spanish Steps in Rome; Sonic Forest at the Bonnaroo and Glastonbury Music Festivals. He’s well known to Miami sports fans for his Turn Up the Heat interactive “anemone” scoreboard created for the Miami Heat’s American Airlines Arena. [ christoper janney ]

Chat with designer wendell castle. Design miami 2010.

Nov 3, 2011

[DesignApplause] It’s late afternoon and the crowd has thinned out a bit in the Design Miami pavilion where ten design galleries are set up. Having just arrived I am at the moment in the Barry Friedman gallery space. Barry knows I would like to talk to a designer and introduces me to Wendell Castle who walks into the space because he and Barry are going to dinner.

click > enlarge

[Wendell Castle ] I’m Wendell Castle and I’m here at Design Miami right in front of four pieces of mine, two what I think of as stools and two are huge rocking chairs. I’ve really been into rocking chairs last year, about a dozen in this series that all have these very long rockers, where often you don’t know where the ideas come from for things or references, but then sometimes you do.

In this case I do. They’re automobile references, references to speed, references to a bucket seat, and references to the type of camber that early sports cars had. Where the wheels aren’t being parallel and where the bottom of the wheels are being closer together than the top of the wheels. And I also like the fact that the color of the pieces, I’ve sort of taken the natural color of the wood away, and one of them is stained black and one is stained white, which to me are very pure colors.

The little stools are like walking stools. These pieces have names and I forget their names and I have to read the labels. I don’t remember names, but the little stools are a small edition so we’re going to make more of those. But the rockers are unique. And that’s what I’m involved in on a daily basis, making furniture as art.

[DA] Where did you grow up?
[WC] Rochester, New York. Actually just outside Rochester in a little village called Scottsville.

[DA] That’s were live now?
[WC] As a matter of fact, that’s where my studio is. Though we also live part-time in New York City. And my gallery, Barry Friedman, is in New York City.

[DA] Well, I love your work. These rockers are very playful. I did think of a vintage Talbot-Lago when I look at the rockers. The wood finish is remarkable.
[WC] Thank you.

[DA] That was all the time I had with Wendell but now I recognize his work. I am a bit late with posting this chat however I was prompted as Wendell is opening a show 4 November at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery in London. The name of the gallery certainly alludes to the craft of Wendell for sure. And as he mentions there are over a dozen rockers out there, I’ve inserted others that were not in Miami in this post.

David adjaye. 2011 Designer of the year award.

Sep 8, 2011

photographer ed reeve

Just alerted, Design Miami/, the global forum for design, is pleased to announce that David Adjaye, OBE, Principal Architect of Adjaye Associates, has been selected as this year’s recipient of the Designer of the Year Award.

Each December, the Design Miami/ Designer of the Year Award recognizes an internationally renowned architect, designer, or studio whose body of work demonstrates unmatched quality, innovation and influence, while expanding the boundaries of design. The Designer of the Year must demonstrate a consistent history of outstanding work, along with a significant new project, career milestone, or other noteworthy achievement within the previous twelve months. Past Designer of the Year winners include Zaha Hadid, Marc Newson, Tokujin Yoshioka, the Campana Brothers, Maarten Baas, and Konstantin Grcic.

Adjaye’s use of architecture as a catalyst for generating community, his novel application of materials, and his diverse catalogue of projects that intersect architecture, design and art, complement Design Miami’s objective of creating a forum that advances the discourse surrounding experimental design while encouraging visitors to connect and exchange ideas within its venue.

“Winning Designer of the Year is huge for me,” says Adjaye. “To win an award like this from the design community is really significant because so much of my work is about crossing platforms. Being recognized this year–which culminates in all of the work and research I’ve been doing in Africa–is extremely meaningful.”

installation pavilion “genesis”

Adjaye was chosen by a diverse selection committee comprising individuals who significantly impact international design discourse: Maarten Baas, Baas & Den Herder Studio; Daniel Charny, Design Curator and Critic; Pierre Doze, Design Critic; Marianne Goebl, Director for Design Miami/; Brooke Hodge, Hammer Museum; Ellen Lupton, Maryland Institute of College of Art & Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum; Ravi Naidoo, Design Indaba & Interactive Africa; Deyan Sudjic, Design Museum London; Noriko Takiguchi, Design Critic; Alexander von Vegesack, Vitra Design Museum & Boisbuchet.

Based in London, with offices in Berlin and New York City, Adjaye is one of the world’s leading architects. His ingenious use of materials and unique ability to showcase light coupled with his democratized approach to the architectural process have helped establish his reputation as an architect with an artist’s sensibility and vision. His many worldwide projects include the Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO (winner of the 2011 First Prize Public Buildings IX ARCHIP International Architecture Award); The Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, CO; the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Norway; flood-resistant houses in New Orleans for Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation; and the Stirling Prize-nominated Idea Stores in London, England. Adjaye’s current projects include the design of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American Culture and History (NMAACH) on the National Mall in Washington, DC, set to open in 2015.

David Adjaye’s belief in working together with artists and other cultural thinkers has led to a number of notable collaborations on both building projects as well as exhibitions. The practice established its early reputation with a series of private houses where the artist was client, and this dialogue continues with recent public buildings, exhibitions and research projects. Adjaye Associates was responsible for: the exhibition design of the all-video SITE Santa Fe Eighth International Biennial Exhibition “the dissolve” (2010); Olafur Eliasson’s “Your black horizon” light installation at the 51st Venice Biennale (2005); and Chris Ofili’s “The Upper Room” exhibited (1999-2002 and 2010), which is now in the permanent collection of Tate Britain. [ edited cameronpr release ]

david adjaye on “genesis”
Designed to provide visitors with an immersive experience, Genesis is a complete environment, which integrates enclosure, aperture, views, respite, meditation and community. Like a giant piece of architectural furniture, the Design Miami/ commission has enabled Adjaye to combine structure, seating, window and doors into a single gesture for the first time.

The pavilion is a triangular prism measuring 10m x 10m x 10m x 3.6m, located at the entrance to the fair. It leads visitors to the courtyard space upon arrival, ushering people inside. It is also the point of departure, and is a final gathering space as visitors leave the fair, with its curved window offering strategic views of the galleries. Comprising a series of timber frames that form the roof, flooring and walls, these elements work together and through compression, provide the overall structure.

The internal space is formed by carving out an oversized ovoid shape from the centre. This distorted shape is set at an angle and abuts the perimeter to form the exit, entrance and window. The seating is established by a secondary subtraction from the interior – which repeats the distorted ovoid, creating a platform along the cut-away timber frames. While compressed and joined together with additional filler pieces, the timber frames are not completely fused. This allows light to filter inside from the exterior and roof, providing a dynamic filigree of light and shadow. Light is further brought inside via an opening in the roof, which acts as a dramatic light well.
