The Princeton Frick Chemistry Laboratory is currently featured as a Top 100 submission for the CoD+A Awards: Collaboration of Design + Art sponsored by The Art Commission. All the entries speak eloquently to the importance of collaboration of design and art. The artwork in the Frick Chemistry Laboratory, designed by commissioned artist, Paul Housberg, introduces color and warmth to each level of the building. Of the total 433 submissions to the awards program, only 100 are moved to this elite level where entries are eligible for a People’s Choice vote. One overall winner will be selected by jurors in each of the eight categories and two additional winners will be selected by the People’s Choice. Vote for the Frick Chemistry project today and support the intersection of art and architecture.
Voting ends June 30, 2013.
We are thrilled to share another update to Kaleidoscope, our web-based tool that integrates the crucial topic of Embodied Carbon into our design process. Insulation is now a separate category on the tool that allows exploration within the existing assemblies of envelopes and partitions. This addition features 17 kinds of insulation broken into several common categories, including blown, board, and batt.
To share the research with PAYETTE people, the Kaleidoscope Research Team hosted a tradeshow/science fair style event featuring insulation-themed snacks. Samples of insulation were displayed from highest to lowest global warming potential.
