Can we talk shop for a sec?😉 Safely sequestered in his workshop, our Design Technology Manager, Troy Malmstrom, is working on mockups of a ceramic, glazed, terracotta rainscreen cladding for a new building in #cincinnati’s Uptown Gateway. Swipe through to see the custom deep ribbing the panels will have. We’re studying a number of slight variations to the profile and also trying to understand the detail of how the assembly will turn the corner. #making #makersgonnamake #makersofinstagram #makingmonday #mockup #mockups #mockupdesign #gbbn #shoptalk #architecture #design #details -

How do we encounter history in the architecture of our public libraries? How can we respond to the contradictory legacies of democracy and hierarchy—inclusion and exclusion—embodied in their architecture? GBBN Principal, Anne Chen, will discuss these questions at the Virtual Workshop on Library Architecture in North America today. If you’re signed up for it, be sure to tune in. Otherwise, we’ll link the conference recordings once they’re available. #gbbn #architecture #design #librariesofinstagram #libraries #community #history #carnegielibraries #publiclibraries #universitylibraries -
