New York City based design practice MARC FORNES/THEVERYMANY is currently seeking an Architectural Designer and Grasshopper Wizard responsible for generating, developing and delivering innovative design proposals and following them from concept through construction. Could this be you?
The position, which requires at least three years' post-qualification experience as well as advanced modeling skills in Grasshopper, spans across many roles, including: digital design, advanced 3D modeling and the development of computational strategies for the production of unique large scale physical assemblies, according to the designers.
If you land the role, you will likely work on the firm's increasingly sophisticated experiential works, which include the recently completed Zephyr Pavilion, which is located on the campus of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.
The mesmerizing project is designed both to serve as a marker and reflection of the social energies that flow through a courtyard sitting before the Honors Residence Hall on the campus. The "gentle giant," as the designers describe it, is created from a "highly curated scheme of computationally finessed protocols" that inform "a graphically rich structural skin."
Made out of four striped columns that grow to create an arched interior, the pavilion's undulating spatial configuration is informed by the "various traffic paths through the space."
The pavilion is one of a long line of experiments, infrastructures, and installations by MARC FORNES/THEVERYMANY, which has developed projects across the US, Canada, China and the Middle East.

Archinect, feel free to delete this but I *highly warn* anyone against going to work for this guy. There's a reason he burns through staff.
And that reason is?
GRASS HOPPER WHIZZ-ARD!
I found it odd that Archinect had a special article solely for this position/firm.
Donna I got your back.hoosiers
real kids don't work for math functions.
If they need so much help, why is only one guy's name on the door?
ETA: Parametric design by its very nature denies the easy answer of the lone genius just needing someone to model his shit. If you rely on someone else to make a parametric design and you just twiddle the inputs until it looks like what you want it to, you're not designing; you're masturbating.
^ Then I've been doing it all wrong.
I assume you mean masturbation, not design?
Never mind, I figured out why they apparently burn through staff...it’s called TheVeryMany.
this was interesting about a decade ago.
now it's just lame ass paper clipped designs....sorry I was thinking of Soft Labs
one trick pony - TheVeryMany
it's called ART, not architecture.
It's a "structural skin" but it's not a skin - it doesn't keep water out. It's "graphically rich" but really it's just a few different shades of pale green. And it's not at all clear that the "social energies" of this particular campus resulted in anything noticeably different from any of the other projects by this firm. It's another meaningless doodad. Even the most recent Steven Holl doodad is better.
