CHRISTO AND JEANNE CLAUDE

Wall of Oil Barrels - Rideau de Fer (The Iron Curtain) (1961-62)

https://doyle.com/auctions/13dd02-n-a/catalogue/133-christo-iron-curtain-wall-of-oil-barrels-color-offset-lithograph

Christo and Jeanne-Claude's first collaborations involved wrapping dozens of oil barrels with cloth and rope, and stacking them in layers across public spaces to partially or completely block access. Earlier iterations of this site-specific work on Rue Visconti in Paris included a version in the courtyard of Christo's studio, as well as 1961's Stacked Oil Barrels and Dockside Packages, both of which were installed for two weeks on the harbor in Cologne, Germany. Particularly in Wall of Oil Barrels, the artists expanded the scope and scale of the previous works, creating a larger and more impenetrable wall of both wrapped and unwrapped barrels that blockaded a section of a city street. Christo was propelled by the idea of spatially reconfiguring a specific outdoor location with a common, contextually misplaced object, a notion that would play a role in many of his future creations and collaborations with Jeanne-Claude. The piece used 89 barrels, and measured 13.2 feet wide, 2.7 feet deep, and 13.7 feet tall. It took eight hours to assemble. An expression of the artists' views on the disruptive nature of the Cold War and the Berlin Wall, which was then being built, Wall of Oil Barrels commented on the politics of space, freedom, and mobility under increasingly conservative and divisive governmental policies throughout Europe. Since they installed it without permission, Parisian authorities demanded that the piece be dismantled, but Jeanne-Claude could persuade them to allow the work to remain in place for several hours. This monumental work and its brief celebrity as a public nuisance helped Christo and Jeanne-Claude gain early notoriety in Paris. Oil barrels became an important medium for Christo in 1958. He had been using smaller, every day, affordable objects like beer cans, but the barrels started a significant shift towards larger works, while still adhering to a distinct type of sculptural form. Wall of Oil Barrels was Christo's first large-scale work, and marked the beginning of the collaborative, massively scaled, site-specific works for which he and Jeanne-Claude would become famous.

Wrapped Coast (1968-69)

http://www.panthalassa.org/wrapped-coast-by-christo-jeanne-claude/

Using one million square feet of erosion-control synthetic fabric, 35 miles of polypropylene rope, 25,000 fasteners, threaded studs, and clips, Jeanne-Claude and Christo wrapped 1.5 miles of rocky coast off Little Bay in Sydney, Australia to create Wrapped Coast in the late 1960s. This method of wrapping was something that Christo had experimented with previously, using smaller objects, but this monumental effort became the largest single artwork ever created surpassing Mount Rushmore. It remained wrapped for ten weeks, beginning October 28, 1969. The draping of the fabric over the coast helped to re-contextualize and de-familiarize a well-known natural setting, and revealed the essential form and shape of the coast as a discrete object. Passersby experienced a shift in their commonplace perspective of the landscape by having limitations - both visual and physical - imposed upon the viewing process. This selective imposition also brought about new and unexpected revelations about the coastline, particularly its formal and structural qualities as a cohesive object with a distinct shape, substance, and volume.

Valley Curtain (1975)

https://www.theartstory.org/artist/christo/artworks/

In the Spring of 1970, Christo and Jeanne-Claude began work on Valley, a 200,200 square foot section of orange, woven nylon fabric that stretched across an entire Colorado valley. The gigantic, crescent-shaped fabric was suspended on a steel cable and anchored to two mountain tops, between Grand Junction and Glenwood Springs in the Hogback Mountain Range. They tied it down with 27 ropes and spread across the valley at a maximum measurement of 1,250 feet wide and 365 feet high. Valley Curtain was a tremendous feat of engineering and coordination that experienced significant and expensive setbacks. Christo and his team first attempted to install the curtain on October 9, 1971, but a gust of wind caught the fabric and it flew away, ripping on the surrounding rocks and construction equipment. On August 19, 1972, it was at last erected successfully, but it remained intact for only 28 hours, until a wind at over 60 miles per hour threatened to tear through it once more. Workers dismantled the piece shortly thereafter. For the brief time that it was in place, the bright orange drape slung between the craggy mountains reinvigorated the valley's contours, highlighting its natural flow, rhythm, and volume. Like many of the duo's large-scale environmental works, it brought new perspective to a familiar landscape, and encouraged a refreshed appreciation of the natural world. The bold color of the fabric popped against the bright sky, the muted blue mountains in the distance, and the greenery covering the nearby hills. Few viewers could see it live in its short, 28-hour existence, which added to the work's sense of fragility, vulnerability, and urgency, while also stimulating an awareness of the emptiness that accompanied its eventual dismantling. The work was documented extensively in photographs: ultimately, the most prolific medium of earthworks, these types of works which are purposely subjected to environmental change, impermanence, and decay.

The Umbrellas (1984-91)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Umbrellas_(Christo_and_Jeanne-Claude)

This piece took place simultaneously in two different rural locations, one in Japan outside the city of Tokyo, and the other in California north of Los Angeles. The umbrellas were assembled in California and composed of fabric, aluminum, steel, wooden supports, bags, and molded base covers. Each umbrella was 19 feet high and 28 feet wide. 1,340 blue umbrellas were installed in Japan, a color chosen to evoke the rich vegetation and water resources of the area, and 1,760 yellow umbrellas were placed in California, reflecting the golden grass that covers the nearby grazing hills. In Japan, the umbrellas were placed closer together following the geometry of the rice fields, and they were spread further out in California, where vast expanses of agricultural land dominate much of the Central Valley. The usage of umbrellas in each location symbolizes the similarities, and the differences associated with the ways of life and the land usage in each area. They represented the varied availability and character of the land, and the temporary cycles of cultivation wrought by human industry. After years of preparation and planning, environmental studies, wind tests, and negotiations, the first steel bases went down December 1990. The exhibit was finally unveiled on October 9, 1991, and received about 3 million visitors. It became a huge tourist attraction and a popular site for picnics and weddings. The work quickly turned controversial, however, when one umbrella caught a strong wind and pinned a woman against a rock, ultimately killing her and injuring three others. The project was cited for removal and during the dismantling process, a Japanese worker was electrocuted when an umbrella he was holding hit an electrical wire. Some critics responded to these tragic accidents by taking umbrage with the egocentrism of Christo's spectacle-oriented, massively scaled visual productions, and subsequent projects became more difficult for the artists to find financial and governmental backing.

Christo's early education in Soviet Socialist Realism, and his experience fleeing his home as a refugee of political revolution, informed his career's many forays into real-world politics as a primary subject and source of his art making. His 35-year collaboration with the artist Jeanne-Claude, and the large-scale site-specific works they co-authored, stand out as his career's greatest achievements. Together, the duo created monumentally scaled sculptures and installations which often used the technique of draping or wrapping large portions of existent landscapes, buildings, and industrial objects with specially engineered fabric. Christo and Jeanne-Claude made works that stand out as some of the most grandiose, site-specific artworks ever. While they often insisted that the aesthetic properties of their art made up its primary value, reactions from audiences and critics worldwide have long recognized a broader commentary operating across their work, and themes ranging from environmental degradation, to the vexed history of the 20th century and the Cold War, to the perseverance of democratic and humanist ideals.

· Christo and Jeanne-Claude's interventions in the natural world and the built environment altered both the physical form and the visual experience of the sites, allowing viewers to perceive and understand the locations with a new appreciation of their formal, energetic, and volumetric qualities.

· The artists' choice to remain intermittently inside and outside the frameworks of legality lends much of their work a built-in aspect of dissent and resistance. It also expands upon and emboldens a long legacy of quasi-legality in art, where art exists in a realm somewhere between the "real" world and fantasy, and affords the art world with distinct privileges and restrictions.

· Christo and Jeanne-Claude often worked outside the gallery system, refusing to negotiate sales of drawings and commissions through an art dealer. In this respect, they took a definitive stance on the political and economic infrastructure of the global art market, and set a precedent for artists working outside the system who still cultivated an international level of success.

· Whereas Land Artists usually made a point of blurring the lines of distinction between the artwork itself and its natural setting and/or materials, Christo and Jeanne-Claude's art relied on developing a high contrast between the engineered, man-made elements and the site's organic characteristics. Their work therefore pushes the envelope of what makes up site-specific, large-scale installation art, and expands the genre discourse to incorporate controversial themes of industrialization, bureaucratization, and late capitalism.

Unveiling the Finest Agricultural Steel Buildings in Colorado

When it comes to agricultural buildings Colorado, there's no compromise on quality and durability. Farmers and ranchers across the Centennial State understand the importance of sturdy structures to protect their valuable assets and livelihoods from the unpredictable weather conditions and other challenges of rural life. Among the myriad options available, agricultural steel buildings stand out as the epitome of strength, resilience, and longevity.

The Versatility of Agricultural Steel Buildings

Agricultural steel buildings in Colorado are not just structures; they are investments in the future of farming and ranching operations. These buildings offer unparalleled versatility, catering to a wide range of agricultural needs. Whether it's storing equipment, housing livestock, or providing workspace for various farm activities, steel buildings excel in meeting the demands of modern agriculture.

The Advantages of Steel Frame Agricultural Buildings

Durability:

The rugged terrain and harsh climate of Colorado demand structures that can withstand the test of time. Steel frame agricultural building Colorado rises to the occasion with their inherent strength and durability. Constructed from high-quality steel, these buildings offer superior resistance to rust, corrosion, and damage from pests or natural elements.

Customization:

No two farms are alike, and neither should be their buildings. Steel frame agricultural buildings offer unparalleled customization options to suit the unique needs and preferences of each farmer or rancher. From size and layout to features and accessories, every aspect of the building can be tailored to optimize functionality and efficiency.

Cost-Effectiveness:

While the upfront cost of agricultural steel building construction Colorado may seem daunting, it pales in comparison to the long-term savings they provide. With minimal maintenance requirements and exceptional durability, steel buildings offer an unmatched return on investment over their lifespan. Additionally, their energy-efficient design can lead to significant savings on heating, cooling, and lighting expenses.

Choosing the Right Agricultural Steel Building

Assessing Needs:

Before embarking on the journey of constructing an agricultural steel building, it's essential to assess your specific needs and requirements. Consider factors such as the intended use of the building, size constraints, budget considerations, and any future expansion plans. This initial evaluation will lay the foundation for a successful building project.

Selecting a Reputable Provider:

The success of your agricultural steel building in Colorado hinges on choosing the right provider. Look for a company with a proven track record of delivering high-quality steel buildings tailored to agricultural applications. Consider factors such as experience, expertise, customer testimonials, and industry certifications when making your decision.

Prioritizing Quality:

When it comes to agricultural steel buildings, quality should always take precedence over cost. Opting for cheap materials or cutting corners during construction may lead to costly repairs, compromised structural integrity, and safety hazards down the line. Invest in top-of-the-line materials and craftsmanship to ensure your building stands the test of time.

Recreation at Risk as Lake Powell Dips to Historic Low

— By Sophia Eppolito | August 8, 2021 | Associated Press

PAGE, Arizona (AP) — A thick, white band of newly exposed rock face stretches high above boaters’ heads at Lake Powell, creating a sharp contrast against the famous red desert terrain as their vessels weave through tight canyons that were once underwater.

It’s a stark reminder of how far the water level has fallen at the massive reservoir on the Utah-Arizona border. Just last year, it was more than 50 feet (15 meters) higher. Now, the level at the popular destination for houseboat vacations is at a historic low amid a climate change-fueled megadrought engulfing the U.S. West.

At Lake Powell, tents are tucked along shorelines that haven’t seen water for years. Bright-colored jet-skis fly across the water, passing kayakers, water-skiers and fishermen under a blistering desert sun. Closed boat ramps have forced some houseboats off the lake, leaving tourists and businesses scrambling. One ramp is so far above the water, people have to carry kayaks and stand-up paddleboards down a steep cliff face to reach the surface.

Houseboat-rental companies have had to cancel their bookings through August — one of their most popular months — after the National Park Service, which manages the lake, barred people from launching the vessels in mid-July.

At the popular main launch point on Wahweap Bay, the bottom of the concrete ramp has been extended with steel pipes so boats can still get on the lake, but that solution will only last another week or two, the park service said.

“It’s really sad that they’re allowing such a beautiful, beautiful place to fall apart,” said Bob Reed, who runs touring company Up Lake Adventures.

Lake Powell is the second-largest reservoir in the United States, right behind Nevada’s Lake Mead, which also stores water from the Colorado River. Both are shrinking faster than expected, a dire concern for a seven-state region that relies on the river to supply water to 40 million people and a $5 billion-a-year agricultural industry.

They are among several large bodies of water in the U.S. West that have hit record lows this summer, including the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Lake Oroville in California is expected to reach a historic low by late August, with the state’s more than 1,500 reservoirs 50% lower than they should be this time of year.

In 1983, Lake Powell’s water exceeded its maximum level of 3,700 feet (1,127 meters) and nearly overran Glen Canyon Dam. The lake is facing a new set of challenges having reached a record low of 3,553 feet (1,082 meters) last week.

Government officials had to begin releasing water from sources upstream last month to keep the lake’s level from dropping so low it would have threatened hydropower supplied by the dam.

It comes as less snowpack flows into the Colorado River and its tributaries, and hot temperatures parch soil and cause more river water to evaporate as it streams through the drought-plagued American West. Studies have linked the region’s more than 20-year megadrought to human-caused climate change.

Fluctuating water levels have long been a staple of Lake Powell, but National Park Service officials say the usual forecasts weren’t able to predict just how bad 2021 would be.

Finger-pointing has started as boaters, local officials and the park service debate what to do now.

“The park service has failed to plan,” area homeowner Bill Schneider said. “If it gets to the point where we’re so low that you can’t put boats in the water and you can’t come up with a solution to put boats in the water, why would you come to Lake Powell?”

The 53-year-old bought a retirement home in nearby Page, Arizona, after completing 25 years of military service in February. He wanted to return to Wahweap Bay where he spent most of his childhood and teen years fishing, waterskiing and working odd jobs around the lake. But after watching how the lake has been managed, Schneider says he’s starting to regret it.

Officials say they have solutions for families and boaters who sometimes plan years ahead to explore the glassy waters that extend into narrow red rock canyons and the tourism industry that depends on them.

Once the severity of the drought became clear, federal officials began looking for options to allow boat access at low water levels, said William Shott, superintendent of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, where Lake Powell is located. The park service discovered an old ramp on Wahweap Bay that will be built out to support houseboats and smaller motorboats.

Shott says he hopes the $3 million ramp can be completed by Labor Day weekend. The project is funded by the park service and lake concessionaire Aramark.

The agency and officials from the town of Page, which relies on lake tourism, plan to open another old asphalt ramp to provide access for smaller boats while the larger one is updated.

Tom Materna, who has been visiting Lake Powell for 20 years, launched his family’s 65-foot (20-meter) timeshare houseboat just hours before the main ramp closed but had to cut their vacation short as water levels dropped in mid-July.

“They said no more launching out of the Wahweap ramp, so we were glad we made it out,” the Los Angeles resident said. “Then the next day I think or two days later, they called us up and told us that all launch and retrieve houseboats had to be off the lake.”

Page Mayor Bill Diak said losing boat access to the lake could have devastating financial consequences for the city of 7,500.

He said local leaders were “slow” to address dropping water levels and limited boat access but that he’s been working closer with park officials and concessionaires on solutions.

“We could have been a little bit more proactive on planning … but we’re moving in the right direction now working together,” Diak said.

He stressed that the impact of climate change needs to be addressed, noting that the U.S. West could be facing far more pressing issues than lake access if the drought continues for another 20 years.

One silver lining, Shott says, is the park service can build boat ramps that are usable even during record drought years. Over $8 million in other low-water projects also are underway.

“Even if we did have a crystal ball and we saw that these lake levels were going to get this low, we couldn’t have prevented it anyways,” Shott said. “With that said, we’re taking advantage of the low water now.”

Troy Sherman, co-owner of a business renting environmentally friendly anchors to houseboats, said the marina housing Beach Bags Anchors shut down shortly after his company launched in spring 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. It relaunched this year but had to cancel 95% of its bookings in July when ramps closed to houseboats.

“Until there’s really access to a ramp again to put houseboats in, my business is kind of in a holding pattern,” Sherman said. “But we’ll totally persevere; it’s what you have to do.”

The Departed Could Soon Become Compost in Colorado DENVER — Food scraps and biodegradable utensils are common fodder for compost, but in Colorado, human remains could soon be transformed into soil too. The Colorado state Legislature passed a bill on Tuesday that would allow composting of human remains in lieu of traditional processes like burial and cremation. State Representative Brianna Titone, a Democrat who sponsored the bill, said she had gone to funerals and, seeing burial or cremation as the two options, thought, “I don’t know if I want either one of these things.” When she learned about human composting, she said, “It really excited me.” If Gov. Jared Polis signs the bill into law, which legislators said was likely, Colorado would become the second state to legalize human composting. Washington State did so in 2019, and legislators in Oregon, California and New York have proposed human composting legislation. A representative for Mr. Polis did not respond to a request for comment regarding his position on the bill. The legislation was introduced last year, but “it ended up dying during the Covid session, no pun intended,” said Representative Matt Soper, a Republican who was a co-sponsor of the bill. In an attempt to lighten the mood while discussing the bill at the State Capitol on Monday, Ms. Titone and Mr. Soper told their colleagues they had “resurrected” the bill from last year’s legislative session. “Look alive!” Ms. Titone said, introducing the discussion. “We know you dug it before.” The process of human composting takes about 30 days, Mr. Soper said. Under the new law, it would be illegal to sell the soil produced from human compost or to use it to grow food for human consumption. Mr. Soper said he had spoken with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, which said it would be legal to place the soil on public lands. Recompose, a company that offers human composting services in Washington, places the body onto a bed of wood chips, alfalfa and straw inside a steel, 8-foot-long by 4-foot-tall cylinder, according to its website. Each body creates about one cubic yard of soil. “Everything — including bones and teeth — transforms” during the process, its website says. The contents of the cylinder are also blended by Recompose staff members, “which helps to break up any remaining bone fragments and teeth.” However, nonorganic material like prosthetics and artificial joints are fetched from the cylinder and removed. Katrina Spade, Recompose’s co-founder and chief executive, said on Wednesday that the company was already looking at locations in the Denver area, where it hopes to build a 50-cylinder facility if the bill becomes law. Ms. Spade said people in Colorado had expressed interest in Recompose, adding that “there is an ethos of ecological love and respect in the Denver area and in Colorado broadly, everywhere from the mountains to the farming that happens around the state.” She said that Recompose’s process saved about one metric ton of carbon dioxide for each body that is composted rather than cremated or buried traditionally. Mr. Soper, who represents a rural part of Colorado, said some of his liberal constituents were interested in human composting for its environmental benefits. Among his more conservative constituents from the agricultural community, Mr. Soper said, there are “farmers or ranchers who really like the idea of being connected to the land that they were born and raised on.” The bill received bipartisan support in the Colorado Senate, but 18 votes against it in the House, all from Republicans. Mr. Soper said they had raised concerns that composting was not a “dignified” way to dispose of remains, some citing the Catholic Church’s opposition to the practice. But Mr. Soper said that for him, the matter was less about explicitly supporting human composting and more about offering the choice. “Why not?” he said. “Why should the government be prohibiting this type of option to be available to Coloradans?” Mr. Soper said that Colorado was among the states with the fewest regulations for crematories and funeral homes, making it ideal for new human composting businesses. Recompose has patents pending on its cylinders, but not on the human composting process, Ms. Spade said, adding that she hopes that human composting becomes “the default choice for death care.” Source link Orbem News #Colorado #Compost #Departed

NaNoWriMo: Return of the DinoKnights (Day 5)

Day 1 & 2 text is here. Day 3 is here. Day 4 is here.

Sheriff Cora Horne slumped against the wall of the dimly lit laboratory. In the distance, the big brains, including the female mammal, were arguing about exponential this and unstable that. Linn and Brach were tending to Kyle’s lost arm even as he scrawled calculations on the wall with the other.

Cora wished she could be distracted. Nothing in her training, or her career, had prepared her for a world where asteroids screamed, where home was sixty-five million years in the past, and where the squint-y, furry things that raided her mother’s garden for sweetbulbs had given rise to the rulers of the world.

The only other observer from the side was the darker of the two mammals. The one named Sagan.

“Excuse me.” Sagan said in his small voice. He was half as tall as Cora, and easily a fifth of her weight.

“Yes?”

“I just wanted to say I’m sorry.” He said. “I can’t imagine what you’re going through.”

“Thank you.” She said. “I have to keep up the appearance of strength right now.”

“I don’t think anyone could blame any of you for needing a cry.” Sagan paused. “Do you cry, anatomically, I mean?”

“Yes.” She gave a weak chuckle. “But Linn, my daughter, is going to need to lean on me, they all are. They’re civilians, and kids, except for the big guy.”

“I have a kid too, my son, Jason.” Sagan responded. “Which one is yours?”

“Right there, her first adult feathers just came in last year.” Cora indicated Linn with her claw. Together, Linn and Brach managed to bind Kyle’s arm in case it started bleeding. They were now arguing about something drifting in time or space. Cora turned her attention back to the human.

“Your species is remarkably diverse.” Sagan said. “That, isn’t a rude thing to say, is it?”

“Specieses.” Cora said. “Speciesi? Spee-suss-es? More than one species. Six in total. She’s a dromeon, like her father, I’m a pachyon. Nychus’s sister had a spare egg, as you do.”

“Adopted, I see.”

Corna’s nose crinkled at the word. Her language had a similar one, but it was purely a verb. The way the new word seemed to create a different category for one kind of child than another irked her sensibilities.. “She’s my daughter, family is born in the nest, not in the shell.”

“I didn’t mean any offense.” Sagan said. “I apologize.”

“Its the translator, I think.” Cora replied. “I’m used to how it gives the meanings of words in our languages, I’m still getting used to how it puts the idea of your vocabulary in my head... if that makes sense.”

“You’re speaking different languages?”

“Several related ones. I can’t rumble enough to speak podite, Brach could never hit the chirps to talk thersperontis and while she tries her best, Linn can’t honk with enough range to express emotional states in pachyosh. Before the translators everyone had to speak tuberspeech.”

“Tuberspeech?”

“A trade language that sounds just as stilted and dry when spoken with lips or a beak, no matter the shape of your tongue or teeth.”

“The cornerstone of your agriculture is a tuber, isn’t it?”

“Got it on the first guess.” Cora laughed. “The first translators came out two weeks after Linn’s father and I started courting. I thought it would be romantic to insist on speaking only with our natural voices, in tuberspeech, of course, instead of using a machine. Three days in Nychus hands me one, saying its our sixty-third-day-anniversary.”

“Do you celebrate a sixty-third da-”

“No we do not.” Cora laughed. “Turns out, that the sound of me trying to trill is akin to the sound of a living pterodactyl being turned inside out.”

“My ex-wife had similar comments about my singing.” Sagan responded. “I heard them call you Sheriff. You’re in law enforcement?”

“I am.” She replied. “Lady Cora Horne, Sheriff of Crestspine Township, DinoKnight of the Order of Scales and Hands.”

“Uhhoo-kay. Not really sure what any of that means, but it sounds impressive.” Sagan responded.

“My order is the branch of civil service devoted to law enforcement and public safety. After I attained my knighthood, I was promoted to sheriff.” She replied.

“So in your world, a knight is someone who arrests criminals or puts out fires?” The human asked.

“And a few dozen other jobs just for my order alone. Who puts out your fires?”

“Firefighters.”

“And your policing is done by?”

“Police officers.”

“I don’t want to tell a weird future culture their business, but you need better naming scribes.” Cora glanced over at the others then back to Sagan.

Sagan considered coming to the defense of the utilitarian nature of civil servant job titles. Before he could come to his decision, Linn hopped over to them.

“Zara says she thinks she knows what happened, Mom.” Linn said.

“That’s good, we should all get on the same feet.” The sheriff stood, turning to Zara. “When are we? Exactly.”

Zara took a deep breath. “I can’t dispute the data the human provided. There was a misfire before the system was fully activated. That may have caused it, or any one of a thousand other possible factors. That doesn’t matter.”

She took another deep breath and closed her eyes, steeling herself. She resumed speaking. “We don’t know how much of our civilization was successfully taken into the time slip.

“Hey!” Brach’s voice boomed, and he slid between Zara and the rest. He seemed even larger than normal, his neck craning down to look her in the eyes. “No doom and gloom in front of the kid! She’s been through enough today. Everyone has.”

“I’m just being realistic.” Zara narrowed her eyes, but lowered her voice. “Literally the only thing we have going for us is that we can’t get any more extinct than we already are.”

It spewed its orange-yellow ichor, which froze into crystalline spikes and shards. The shards moved to orbit around the sphere, a ring forming around its center, parallel to the planet below.

A crack formed across the bottom surface, as the thing’s anatomy restructured to accommodate its diminished form. A yellow-and-orange, four-lobed eye stretched wide, above the thin blue haze of Earth’s atmosphere.

From its ring two shards drifted free, then fell into the atmosphere. A pair of shooting stars hurtled toward a rocky place called Colorado.

University of Colorado Denver students share architecture projects in the Rocky Mountains

A high-altitude lavatory with gabion walls and a reimagined motel feature in this VDF school show of work from University of Colorado Denver's College of Architecture and Planning.

The projects range from built to conceptual and were created by students as part of their graduate and undergraduate degrees in architecture.

While some designed interventions to improve the experience of tourists and trekkers in the Rocky Mountains, others imagined electric vehicle charging stations for Tesla, which are capable of responding to the context in which they are placed.

University of Colorado Denver

University: University of Colorado Denver, College of Architecture and Planning Courses: BSc Architecture, MArch Studios: BSc Architecture – Design Studio 4 and the "Normal, Colfax" Research and Design Seminar MArch – Studio 4: Design-Build and Studio 6: Prototype Replication and Singularity

MArch Studio 6: Prototype Replication and Singularity statement:

"Through the design of a prototype for a Tesla-branded electric vehicle (EV) charging facility, this studio investigated the tensions and synergies between the repeatability required to create multiple manifestations of the charging facility and the need to remain flexible and adapt to the site while developing and maintaining brand identity.

"As a studio funded by the PCI Foundation, the students used precast concrete as the primary construction system, requiring them to address the repeatability of the precast members within a single prototype or through multiple manifestations of the prototype."

University of Colorado Denver student housing by Macy Funk, BSc Architecture

"The University of Colorado Denver campus is unique in its diverse student body, which lives in private housing spread across the metropolitan area. The cultural diversity of the student body extends to every facet of the university's identity and is foundational to its values.

"This project posits an on-campus housing solution for students that reflects their common desire to gather and learn from one another socially. The resulting building proposal is bisected and divided by a loose collection of cylindrical and ovoid cloisters."

Studio: Design Studio 4 Tutor: Kevin Hirth

Vocational School by Regan Wood, Sara Rowsell and Alli Purvis, BSc Architecture

"Sited along a dense urban corridor, the vocational school responds to Denver's legacy as an economy of largely self-contained labour and education. It consists of a simple, stripped structure that houses the life, work and training of its inhabitants.

"Students are provided with leasable space to practice their craft in close proximity to one another. The radical stance of the dense urban forms, reminiscent of similar buildings in the adjacent downtown area, is emphasised through the overlay of a rubberised roofing membrane that covers the surface of the school, landscape and other surrounding elements."

Studio: Design Studio 4 Tutor: Kevin Hirth

Motel by Justin Watson, BSc Architecture

"The American West has a long tradition of itineracy. In Colorado alone, towns have swollen and shrunk with incredible speed due to the boom and bust of gold, oil, steel, tourism and agriculture. In the twentieth century, this itineracy was epitomised by the suburban station wagon, laden with luggage and ferrying families to far-flung destinations of leisure.

"The twenty-first century has seen this model disrupted by the pervasiveness of inexpensive air travel and the consolidation of the hotel industry. Roadside motels at the base of the Rocky Mountains once bustling with business now often represent a stepping stone for those close to homelessness, providing day-to-day housing at a cut-price rate.

"This project reimagines a roadside motel on a rural site in the plains just east of Denver. It hopes to offer a place for rest and relaxation to all inhabitants of the city while creating a new legacy for an often tarnished and abandoned building typology."

Studio: Design Studio 4 Tutor: Kevin Hirth

Mobile Home by Trevor Carrasco, BSc Architecture

"This concept was produced as a part of an ongoing research project studying a decaying but well-preserved urban corridor built during the 1960's. It reimagines a common low-cost prefabricated housing model as a monument.

"Formal characteristics were derived from vernacular structures nearby and reconfigured into a new figure in the landscape to foreground issues of social and economic inequity."

Course: "Normal, Colfax" Research and Design Seminar Tutor: Kevin Hirth

Cottonwood Cabins by the MArch Colorado Building Workshop students

"High on the Colorado Plateau, in a desert landscape characterised by juniper and ponderosa pine forests, six bunkhouses and an outdoor kitchen create a welcome refuge for trekkers at the Cottonwood Gulch base camp. The objective was to foster a sense of community while reinterpreting the local vernacular which is rooted in the surrounding landscape.

"The cabin's construction is an investigation into mass timber building techniques. The screw-laminated timber acts as a single diaphragm, achieving greater spans and cantilevers than individual pieces of lumber could alone. The cabins are elevated above the landscape to give a degree of separation from the fauna of the high desert. On the interior, bunks are suspended from the ceiling offering trekkers the agency to occupy the space how they wish."

Project website: coloradobuildingworkshop.cudenvercap.org Studio: Studio 4: Design-Build Tutors: Rick Sommerfeld, Will Koning and JD Signom

Longs Peak Privies by the MArch Colorado Building Workshop students

"Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the most frequented peaks in the State of Colorado that is more than 14,000 feet high. But since backcountry toilets were installed on the trail in 1983, the technology has deteriorated in the harsh climate to the point that waste now has to be removed by shovel, placed into five-gallon buckets and carried down the mountain using llamas.

"We collaborated with the National Park Service to design and construct new backcountry privies using lightweight prefabricated construction and emerging methods of waste collection to minimise the human footprint in Colorado's backcountry.

"The final design consists of prefabricated, structural gabion walls. Within the gabions, thin steel plate moment frames triangulate the lateral loads within the structure while stones, collected on-site, are used as ballast. This innovative assembly allows for rapid on-site construction and an architecture that disappears into the surrounding landscape."

Project website: coloradobuildingworkshop.cudenvercap.org Studio: Studio 4: Design-Build Tutors: Rick Sommerfeld and Will Koning

Electric Oasis by Kristina Bjornson and Malgosia Tomasik, MArch

"The notion of the prototype is deficient in the fact that it assumes a mass-produced scheme can be imposed on any landscape despite its individual needs. In creating a prototype for a Tesla charger station, we wanted to challenge the standardisation of architecture by encouraging unique modifications in the design process.

"We followed a kit-of-parts approach that allows the supercharger stations to adapt and react to their context, taking into account the climatic zone, urban versus rural setting, proximity to other charging stations and lot size. These criteria inform the envelope design, orientation, light filtration and overall scheme. Distinct characteristics of light infiltration were considered to develop a responsive parametric facade based on the unique orientation and climatic data of the site."

Kristina Bjornson website: kvbjornson.com Malgosia Tomasik website: goshatomasik.com

Engaging Flows by Shane Krenn and Lorraine Ziegler

"The typology of the gas station has traditionally augmented the notions of efficiency and in-and-out culture, separating the traveller from the local. We conduct an investigation on how a new prototypical architecture could facilitate lingering. Early discussions pointed us towards the clustering of programmatic volutes to guide flows, generate in-between spaces for impermanent programmes and reframe the context to situate the traveller alongside the local.

"As a conceptual prototype for Tesla, brand recognition and repeatability across differing contexts necessitated the development of a kit of parts. A series of concrete panels and fins yield a multiplicity of programmatic volute shapes, allowing the prototype to be adapted across environments."

Two years ago, Pfiesteria outbreaks connected with wastes from industrial chicken factories forced the closure of two major tributaries of the Chesapeake and threatened Maryland’s vital shellfish industry. Tyson Foods has polluted half of all streams in northwestern Arkansas with so much fecal bacteria that swimming is prohibited. Drugs and hormones needed to keep confined animals alive and growing are mainly excreted with the wastes and saturate local waterways. – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. • It is hard to imagine, but in a Maryland school, a 13- year old girl was arrested for refusing to say the pledge of allegiance. There is more at work than stupidity and a flight from responsibility on the part of educators, parents and politicians who maintain these laws, there is also the growing sentiment that young people constitute a threat to adults and that the only way to deal with them is to subject them to mind-crushing punishment. – Henry Giroux • Living in Maryland, I saw that the opportunities were far greater in California than back home. – Christina Milian • Many Saturday mornings, I take 495 from Fairfax to Maryland in the morning, and I’m astonished by the speed of many of the drivers. Even when I drive 70 mph, I’m being passed by people driving 80-90+ at times. – Robert James Thomson • My capital budget maintains my commitment to the education of children, health of the Chesapeake Bay, and safety of all Maryland citizens. We will continue to focus on the five pillars of my Administration as we build today and look forward to the projects of the future. – Bob Ehrlich • My father was a preacher in Maryland and we had crab feasts – with corn on the cob, but no beer, being Methodist – outside on the church lawn. – Tori Amos • My problem with Obama is that he’s not a new paradigm; he’s an old paradigm. A new paradigm would be somebody like Harold Ford [former Democratic Congressman from Tennessee] or Michael Steele [former Republican Lieutenant Governor of Maryland], no relation, both of whom present themselves as individuals, and don’t seem to wear a mask. They don’t ‘bargain;’ they don’t ‘challenge.’ So, I see them as fresh, and as evidence of what I hope will be a new trend. – Shelby Steele • Now, a recent study from cardiologists at the University of Maryland, has shown that laughter may have a beneficial effect on the heart. – Allen Klein • Once I took a bus from my home in Maryland to Philadelphia to live on the streets with some musicians for a few weeks, and then my parents sent me to boarding school at Andover to shape me up. – Olivia Wilde • The constitutions of Maryland and New York are founded in higher wisdom. – Ezra Stiles • The four most dangerous words in finance are ‘this time is different.’ Thanks to this masterpiece by Carmen Reinhart at the University of Maryland and Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard, no one can doubt this again. . . . The authors have put an immense amount of work into collecting the data financial institutions needed if they were to have any chance of making quantitative risk management work. – Martin Wolf • There were just moments of the punk scene and I realized that I had to capture it. There was also this photographer in our preschool – I went to a Montessori school in Baltimore, Maryland – and they had this photographer come and take all these incredible photographs. They looked like they were from Life magazine. – Jeff Vespa • This grant gave me more than memories; it gave me a crucial experience that is formative to all writers: the ability to perceive that we become writers in exile, where what we write is the only link across distance and time…I became a Maryland writer because the community of Juneau took me in. – Paula Vogel • Virginia and Maryland attorneys argued this is a national problem and needs a national solution. I’m hoping that with a federal court agreeing this is inequitable, Congress will now act and do the right thing for the District. – Walter Smith • We moved to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1979, when I was five. The funny thing is that, even though Baltimore had one of the top murder rates in the country in those days, I grew up hearing about how dangerous New York was. – Philipp Meyer • Well I am from Annapolis Maryland. I went to High school in Baltimore, but I grew up in Annapolis. It was a cute town. We lived on a waterfront community. It was good, even though I don’t really fit the preppy boater kind of style. – Christian Siriano • While I am in favor of the Government promptly enforcing the laws for the present, defending the forts and collecting the revenue,I am not in favor of a war policy with a view to the conquest of any of the slave States; except such as are needed to give us a good boundary. If Maryland attempts to go off, suppress her in order to save the Potomac and the District of Columbia. Cut a piece off of western Virginia and keep Missouri and all the Territories. – Rutherford B. Hayes • Yeah, I did some small parts in high school and the first year of college and then fairly soon thereafter I settled into the backstage scenery, and then at the University of Maryland I was doing posters for their productions. – Jim Henson [clickbank-storefront-bestselling]
