Event Description
Do Janne Vermeulen - Team V Architectur
9am - 10am
Do Janne Vermeulen is architect/director of Team V Architecture in Amsterdam, one of the fastest growing architectural firms in the Netherlands.
She is responsible for award winning designs; for example HAUT – one of the tallest timber hybrid buildings in the world.
In addition, Do Janne gives lectures worldwide, is a regular chairman or jury member at awards, involved in architecture programs, and a member of the Spatial Quality Committee in Amsterdam.
Do Janne Vermuelen will discuss Mass Timber and Team Architectur approach to design.
Rhett Russo - Designer
10am - 11am
John Rhett Russo is a designer, educator and a maker of objects.
He currently serves as the Undergraduate Chair in Architecture at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).
Rhett Russo’s design practice explores ambiguous processes of material formations from grains, slabs, sheets, slips, semi-plastic mediums and other matter with cryptic behaviors.
Things that appear cryptic, cannot be faithfully represented, repeated or reproduced.
Learning how these processes participate in design and fabrication of objects is part of gaining access to new territories for architecture that are often dormant, or inaccessible to normalized productions.
By developing architectural assemblies informed by the specific properties of ceramics and traits encrypted through technology, Rhett explores ways that the peculiar nature of objects initiate new workflows and realities.
Tom Chung - Leers Weinzapfel
11am - 12pm
Tom will be discussing his projects - particularly the UMAS project - The University of Massachusetts.
He will also discuss mass timber and the technical processes to utilising mass timber.
