OVERVIEW /

For this high profile lobby installation, SITU Fabrication was brought on as a specialty consultant and contractor to engineer and oversee the construction of this complex feature. Working closely with James Turrell's design team and the project architects, a number of formal and material iterations were evaluated prior to arriving at a 24' tall,TWO-story volume with a seamless GFRG interior and a polished solid surface exterior. SITU assembled a team consisting of Laufs Engineering Design for structural design and Art in Construction for GFRG fabrication to develop the means and methods for the construction. 

ROLE /

AS PROJECT DESIGNER, I DEVELOPED AND MAINTAINED A PARAMETRIC 3D model to coordinate the variety of trades that had to fit within the doubly curved 14" wall construction, including curved light gauge framing, lighting, electrical, mechanical and sprinklers. From THIS MODEL, I PRODUCED TRADE- AND FABRICATION-SPECIFIC DRAWINGS AND MODELS FOR THE STEEL base and interstitial rings, thermoformed solid surface exterior cladding, molds for Interior GFRG surface, precision mounting brackets, and any AND ALL templates. I SERVED AS JOB CAPTAIN AND AIDED IN MANAGING SUBCONTRACTORS AND COORDINATING VARIOUS TRADES On-SITE.
