School of Architecture Exhibition HouMinn Evolution Opening Reception
April 27, 7:30pm - 9:30pmMānoa Campus, Architecture 214, The Haigo and Irene Shen Architecture Gallery
For nearly two decades, the Minnesota- and Houston-based architectural office HouMinn Practice has explored an alternative approach to the design and production of novel products, buildings, and environments. HouMinn's founding partners and professors of architecture Marc Swackhamer (University of Minnesota) and Blair Satterfield (University of British Columbia) purposely decentralize design control in every project. They believe that by allowing outside experts and forces to influence their work, they foster contextual suitability, project diversity, and novelty.
These outside influences include multi-disciplinary collaborators who contribute new ways of considering each project and push the work in unexpected and sometimes uncomfortable directions. HouMinn continuously collaborates with experts from diverse disciplines, including computer science, engineering, material science, biology, graphic design, product design, apparel design, and digital media and social networking. In this latter category, HouMinn has recently experimented with open-source infrastructures that challenge conventional logics of team organization and construction techniques, yielding a wide range of crowd-sourced building skins, technological systems, and material finishes.
