Snøhetta completes redesign of the Blanton Museum of Art grounds with rain-capturing shade structures and native plants

2024-07-17T14:31:00-04:00

Snøhetta has completed work on their $35 million redesign of The Blanton Museum of Art grounds for the University of Texas at Austin.

The debut of the New Ground Initiative comes at the end of a three-year revitalization that saw the Blanton continuously operate during construction. The 200,000-square-foot campus now has a greater permanent presence as the gateway between the university and city of Austin thanks to public art installations and key improvements to the existing landscape design and architecture.

Lead architects and UTSOA alumni Craig Dykers, John Newman, and Elaine Molinar were able to guide the project using their student experiences, resulting in an inclusive new space.

At the center of the project stands a previously completed intervention of petal-like 40-by-30-foot metallic shade structures that was designed to reconcile an open area now referred to as the Moody Patio. Besides providing protection from Texas's re...

Snøhetta's Blanton New Grounds redesign opens at the University of Texas at Austin

2023-05-25T12:20:00-04:00

A recently completed project from three alumni Snøhetta staffers at the University of Texas at Austin’s Blanton Museum of Art has delivered an artistic intervention they say stands as a new gateway between the 51,000-student campus and its host city.

Principal and co-founder Craig Dykers, Managing Director Elaine Molinar, and Director John Newman, each School of Architecture graduates from the late-1980s, collaborated to enact a new canopy-like intervention that’s meant as a centerpiece to the museum’s $35 million Blanton New Grounds initiative.

Their solution involved a series of 40-by-30-foot metallic shade structures formed in the shape of flower petals to create a canopy of the new landscaped garden entrance to the museum while also framing Ellsworth Kelly’s 2018 monumental stone Austin chapel on the Blanton’s Moody Patio.

UT Austin School of Architecture Dean Michelle Addington announces departure at the end of the 2022-23 academic year

2022-09-22T17:30:00-04:00

University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture (UTSOA) Dean Michelle Addington has announced that she will be stepping away from the position at the end of the academic year following a successful tenure at the helm of one of America’s leading public design colleges.

Addington has served in the role since 2017 and is considered an expert in the field of sustainability studies, holding previous academic appointments at Yale and the Harvard GSD before joining UTSOA. Her efforts to spearhead a range of initiatives resulted in the successful hiring/mentoring of award-winning professors, enhanced collaboration between academia and professional practice, the expansion of the school’s Race and Gender in the Built Environment Initiative, and an increased research output among faculty members.

The school mentions that she was instrumental in leading, What Starts Here, a capital campaign that raised more than $20 million, and has been responsible for the procurement of some $17 million...

UT Austin's Materials Lab awarded $60,000 grant to reframe collection with focus on sustainable materials

2022-08-12T17:30:00-04:00

The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture's Materials Lab and Interior Design Program have been awarded a $60,000 grant from the Angelo Donghia Foundation. The money will be used to reimagine how students learn about materials by reframing the Materials Lab’s existing collection to better highlight sustainable products.

Beginning this fall, two graduate students and one undergraduate interior design student will work closely with Jen Wong, Lecturer and Director of the Materials Lab, to restructure the initiative’s circulating library and digital databases. They will be tasked with employing industry-standard sustainability criteria and certifications from resources, including the Mindful Materials database, the International Living Future Institute, and Building Green, to develop a new classification system for the collection. It will highlight materials relating to circularity, embodied carbon, health and toxicity, and social equity.

Blanton Museum of Art: Snøhetta-designed New Grounds Initiative unveiled

2021-01-15T13:45:00-05:00

The Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin is planning a $35 million campus redesign led by the firm Snohetta. It will feature architectural and landscaping improvements throughout the museum’s 200,000-square-foot grounds like a dramatic biomorphic canopy redefining the entrance plaza as well as a public mural commission by the Cuban-American painter Carmen Herrera.

Introducing Archinect's Spotlight on Austin

2019-12-04T18:21:00-05:00

For the month of December, Archinect is shining a Spotlight on Austin, Texas.

Aside from being the Texas state capital, Austin is a major node in the thriving Texas Triangle mega-region, the urban agglomeration that includes Houston, Dallas-Forth Worth, and San Antonio.

The region is home to nearly 18 million people, produces upwards of $1.2 trillion in economic output, and contains a majority of the state's 8,560 architecture and 785,444 construction jobs, sectors that are both projected to continue growing over the next decade.

Towers like Pelli Clarke Pelli's Block 185 tower are reshaping Austin's skyline. Image courtesy of Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects / STG Design / Trammell Crow Company.

Home to University of Texas at Austin and its 500-student program—its undergraduate division is currently ranked 9th in the country by Design Intelligence—Austin itself is also a locus for some of the state's most successful and inventive architecture offices, professional and academic, alike...

Edna Ledesma and Miriam Solis appointed to lead UT Austin School of Architecture diversity initiative

2017-08-09T13:57:00-04:00

The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture appointed Edna Ledesma and Miriam Solis as its new faculty leaders for the Race and Gender in the Built Environment Initiative. Launched last fall by scholars Anna Livia Brand and Andrea Roberts, the ongoing initiative fosters teaching and research on race and gender-related issues in U.S. cities, and aims to facilitate diversity among design and planning professionals and students. Ledesma and Solis will replace Brand and Roberts for the upcoming 2017-18 academic year.

Ledesma, who is currently a lecturer at UTSOA, will join the school as a 2017-18 fellow.

Guns in the Studio: Texas' new campus carry law prompted Architecture Dean Fritz Steiner to resign. He joins us to discuss the law's effect on architecture education, on Archinect Sessions #55

2016-03-03T15:05:00-05:00

A new Texas state law going into effect on August 1 (exactly 50 years after the clocktower shootings at UT-Austin, by student and ex-marine Charles Whitman) will allow concealed handguns to be brought into public university campus buildings. This isn't sitting well with many members of the public university system, as educators and administrators are now tasked with regulating the presence of guns inside studios and classrooms, and fear that such a law will scare people away from the school (not to mention the obvious safety concerns).

Dean of the architecture school at UT-Austin, Frederick "Fritz" Steiner, has been critical of the law from its inception, and faced with having to enforce it as campus policy, was prompted to leave the school for the deanship at PennDesign.

While not the sole reason for his resignation, Steiner is adamant that such a law is simply not good for architecture education and studio culture, and joins us on the podcast to discuss.

Another study warns that 3D-printers pose potential health risks for users

2016-02-02T19:30:00-05:00

So 3D printing didn’t even have much of a chance before the railing began regarding fumes and toxicity and in general, the question of how sick we might be getting while the filament takes its time melting nearby...[A recent University of Texas at Austin] report seems to offer up fairly common sense information, although they do state that more studies should be done regarding exposure to fumes and potential carcinogens, and should be weighed against usage patterns while 3D printing.

This health concern isn't brand new, but it's surely something that deserves further research.

Major exhibition on polymath designer Norman Bel Geddes to open at MCNY

2013-09-06T13:38:00-04:00

The "Norman Bel Geddes: I Have Seen the Future" exhibition will open at the Museum of the City of New York starting Oct. 16. Presented by MCNY and the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, it will be the first major exhibition to explore the life and multi-faceted career of the man whose futuristic designs shaped the image of modern America during the early half of the 20th century.

This event is also in promotion through Archtober, a festival of architectural and design programs, exhibitions, and activities happening throughout New York City in the month of October.

Curated by MCNY's Donald Albrecht (Curator of Architecture and Design), the five-part exhibition will begin with Bel Geddes' birth in 1893 and the early stages of his creativity, then delve into his prime decades from the 1920s-1940s, and finally end with his post-war-period works until his death in 1958.

Receiving barely any academic training, Bel Geddes created revolutionary theatrical, indus...
