2016 / 2017


ARCHEWORKS IS A CHICAGO-BASED DESIGN LAB AND EDUCATOR. OUR MISSION IS TO USE DESIGN AS AN AGENT OF CHANGE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. WE DRIVE DIALOGUE, POLICY, AND CITY DESIGN. WE INSPIRE A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS WHILE INVENTING AND TESTING INNOVATIVE PROTOTYPES THAT SHAPE THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY.

STUDIO Archeworks conducts and oversees research in many capacities. This multidisciplinary research thinktank engages areas beyond design that influence the social climate that we design within: education, policy, media, technology, waste streams, energy. This team deepens the focus, precision and impact potential for our projects. SCHOOL Archeworks offers a postgraduate certificate that focuses on the skills, techniques and implementation of Public Interest Design: identifying opportunity, engaging a collective audience, convincing and testing ideas, and making design an agent of change. Through a vast network of industry experts, civic leaders, award winning practitioners and successful social entrepreneurs, students are given the tools and access to make a difference in the world, and the accountability to do so. CAMPUS Archeworks operates Chicago Complex, a satellite campus for national and international universities. This academic consortium for advanced urban studies utilizes the Chicago metropolitan area as a laboratory for contemporary cultural production. Students from diverse areas, nationalities and backgrounds bring a balanced and unbiased dialogue around some of Chicago’s most pressing social dilemmas, often exposing latent challenges and finding promising solutions.

“As designers, with the extraordinary power that we have developed to invent and present new sustainable ways of living, we have the ethical imperative to make our businesses align with this practice and potential. As citizens, we have the ethical imperative to make our governments develop and embrace this new way of being in the world. As individuals we have the ethical imperative to everything we can do to contribute to this way of working, with the greatest possible urgency to overcome the challenges that we face.� BRUCE MAU NOW THAT WE CAN DO ANYTHING, WHAT WILL WE DO?

POSTGRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN PUBLIC INTEREST DESIGN

Archeworks is committed to a definition of Public Interest Design that is action-oriented, simultaneously tactical and spontaneous, community building and self-sustaining. Through a vast network of industry experts, civic leaders, award winning practitioners and successful social entrepreneurs, Archeworks students are given the tools and access to make a difference in the world, and the accountability to do so. Over the course of the Certificate Program, Archeworks students have incubated prototype solutions, brought products to market, organized community festivals and developed strategies for community and institutional growth. Our Alumni have gone on as entrepreneurs to start social impact businesses, receive advanced degrees in design and policy, lead communities and cities forward and exhibit their work throughout the world. In the Postgraduate Certificate in Public Interest Design program, students collaborate with leaders in the public and private sector, ranging from global leaders in practice to local government to the local community, to address real world problems through an innovative design project. The Certificate Program builds core competencies inherent to successful designers and encompasses field-based research, participatory design that engages stakeholders, and rigorous experimentation and prototyping to refine concepts, proposals and interventions. Students gain theoretical and practical experience in socially responsible design while making an impact in urban communities. Our faculty of leading designers, urbanists, artists and policy makers from Chicago and beyond, provide students with creative guidance and personal mentoring.

OUR STUDENTS CONFRONT THE CHALLENGES FACING 21ST CENTURY CITIES, BECOME LEADERS COMMITTED TO SOCIAL CHANGE,

SUMMARY

WHAT IS PUBLIC INTEREST DESIGN? Acting as a catalyst for social change, Public Interest Design addresses complex social problems that disproportionately impact under-served communities. It is guided by the belief that design should enhance quality of life for all, not just the privileged few. IDENTIFY

Identify the problem and define the design challenge. Explore social, cultural and environmental problems that are multifaceted and complex, embody competing interests and institutionalized ways of thinking, and disproportionately affect disadvantaged members of society. Consider the ethical dimensions of design by exploring the research and design process in relation to personal values, the context of the problem, interest of stakeholders and decision makers, and larger societal issues. ENGAGE

Engage stakeholders, decision makers and the wider public to understand the relationship of ideas to meaningful impact through collective action. Explore the responsibility of design to engage stakeholders at all levels, facilitate dialogue and encourage meaningful ownership, so that strategies are actionable and public interest translates into public impact. Achieve meaningful engagement and impact through methods of public discourse, group interaction and intentional collaboration in support of mutually beneficial agendas. CONVINCE

Develop and test ideas against real world constraints and opportunities, finding strategies towards realization and implementation. Supported by deep research into the social and ethical dimensions of the design problem, produce generative insights and develop design solutions to evaluate within an iterative process. Consider messaging, representation and presentation to develop a coherent project narrative and convey the intent of design proposals to partners, stakeholders and allies. MAKE

Learn design and prototyping skills to create mock-ups and explore bringing ideas to realization. Refine creative thinking styles, strategies and methods for developing a design concept and translating it into an iterative material process. Develop skill working directly with material to advance a design agenda and use human-centered design to create change.

2016-2017 PARTNERS: LATENT DESIGN AND CHICAGO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Archeworks is partnering with Latent Design and the Chicago Department of Transportation on Activate! Chicago, a new citywide initiative to transform underutilized public plazas into cultural and economic catalysts. Students enrolled in Archeworks’ Postgraduate Certificate in Public Interest Design program will collaborate with private, public and community members to develop design concepts and installations to revitalize plaza sites located in the Woodlawn and Little Village neighborhoods. Using participatory and human-centered design methods, Archeworks will facilitate place-based community development that will be integrated into public space design systems and prototyped on the sites. The Certificate Program studio will begin in Fall 2016 and will be led by Katherine Darnstadt, Founder and Principal Architect of Latent Design.

2016-2017 PARTNERS: THE NATIONAL PUBLIC HOUSING MUSEUM Archeworks is partnering with the National Public Housing Museum (NPHM) on a design/build project that explores the conditions of urban disinvestment resulting in housing foreclosures, building demolitions, loss of jobs, crime and violence. The complex landscapes and histories connecting public housing to prisons and policies of mass incarceration will be investigated through primary research and participatory design with public housing residents and the formerly incarcerated. Using deconstructed materials recovered from the Jane Addams Homes, the first public housing project built in Chicago and future site of the NPHM, the Archeworks team will co-create architectural constructs and design installations that amplify the experiences of the people who lived there. The project will result in functional prototypes that contribute to the NPHM’s collections, exhibitions and community engagement outcomes, culminating in the Museum’s preview phase opening during the 2017 Chicago Architectural Biennial.

PUBLIC LECTURES


POSTGRADUATE CERTIFICATE THE COMPLEXITY OF THE CONTEMPORARY CITY REQUIRES ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS TO DISCOVER AND DEFINE NEW METHODS, TACTICS, TOOLS AND APPROACHES TO PROJECTS. THE PROFESSION AND THE ACADEMY BOTH SUFFER FROM THE LACK OF OPPORTUNITY, OR WILLINGNESS, TO ENGAGE IN THIS COMPLEX ENVIRONMENT. THE REALITY IS THAT DESIGN, AT ALL SCALES, INVOLVES A VAST ARRAY OF PEOPLE FROM THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR: DECISION MAKERS, STAKEHOLDERS, CONSULTANTS, SPECIALISTS, AND THE END USER. ARCHEWORKS’ SPRING LECTURE SERIES FEATURED ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS THAT CHALLENGE THE TRADITIONAL, NOSTALGIC AND DOMINANT WAYS OF PRACTICE IN THE INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC GOOD. XAVIER WRONA, FOUNDER OF EST-CE AINSI, PARIS The articulation of architectural thinking to the production of reality has historically taken many forms. It is fairly recent that its applications drastically shrank down and were limited to the sole production of buildings. Such production is currently under the massive influence of dystopian neoliberal mechanisms, to the point that they nullify any attempt of its reform, whether they rise out of architecture schools or architecture firms. If we seriously wish to articulate architecture to the “changing” of reality, as Marx famously coined it, we propose to apply architectural thinking to the means of production of reality themselves. Buildings will then follow.

MAARTEN GIELEN, FOUNDER ROTORDB, BRUSSELS Founded in 2005, Rotor is a collective of people with a common interest in the material flows in industry and construction. On a practical level, Rotor handles the conception and realization of design and architectural projects. On a theoretical level, Rotor develops critical positions on design, material resources, and waste through research, exhibitions, writings and conferences.

CLEMENT BLANCHET, FOUNDER OF CLEMENT BLANCHET ARCHITECTURE, PARIS The near future is driven towards a certain type of resistance. To simply generate progress, we should resist several phenomenon’s: To resist nostalgia, to resist politics, to resist nature, to resist utopia, to resist egos, to resist beauty, to resist options, to resist consensus, to resist planification, to resist technologies, to resist graphics, to resist speed, to resist medias, to resist publicity. Architecture should generate a new sign of endurance, potentially the only option to reveal future sources of optimism. Architecture should not always be extra ordinary. What if architecture could help to reconsider a certain type of hope?

ANDREW MODDRELL, CO-FOUNDER OF PORT URBANISM, CHICAGO PORT is a leading edge urban design and public realm consultancy based in Chicago that specializes in the analysis, visioning, design and implementation of new forms of collective urban space. The practice synthesizes disciplinary expertise in urban design, architecture, landscape architecture, ecology and urban planning in order to provide the hybrid model of design services necessary to negotiate today’s increasingly complex public realm challenges. Established by Christopher Marcinkoski and Andrew Moddrell in 2010, PORT has evolved into one of the most innovative public realm design practices operating in the U.S. today.

ARCHITECTURING THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION OF REALITY

ROTOR

THE ARTICULATION OF ARCHITECTURAL THINKING TO THE PRODUCTION OF REALITY HAS HISTORICALLY TAKEN MANY FORMS. IT IS FAIRLY RECENT THAT ITS APPLICATIONS DRASTICALLY SHRANK DOWN AND WERE LIMITED TO THE SOLE PRODUCTION OF BUILDINGS. SUCH PRODUCTION IS CURRENTLY UNDER THE MASSIVE INFLUENCE OF DYSTOPIAN NEOLIBERAL MECHANISMS, TO THE POINT THAT THEY NULLIFY ANY ATTEMPT OF ITS REFORM, WHETHER THEY RISE OUT OF ARCHITECTURE SCHOOLS OR ARCHITECTURE FIRMS. IF WE SERIOUSLY WISH TO ARTICULATE ARCHITECTURE TO THE "CHANGING" OF REALITY, AS MARX FAMOUSLY COINED IT, WE PROPOSE TO APPLY ARCHITECTURAL THINKING TO THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION OF REALITY THEMSELVES. BUILDINGS WILL THEN FOLLOW.

FOUNDED IN 2005, ROTOR IS A COLLECTIVE OF PEOPLE WITH A COMMON INTEREST IN THE MATERIAL FLOWS IN INDUSTRY AND CONSTRUCTION. ON A PRACTICAL LEVEL, ROTOR HANDLES THE CONCEPTION AND REALIZATION OF DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS. ON A THEORETICAL LEVEL, ROTOR DEVELOPS CRITICAL POSITIONS ON DESIGN, MATERIAL RESOURCES, AND WASTE THROUGH RESEARCH, EXHIBITIONS, WRITINGS AND CONFERENCES.

XAVIER WRONA Est-ce ainsi FRANCE

MAARTEN GIELEN ROTOR BELGIUM

Xavier Wrona is the founder of the architecture office Est-ce ainsi, a structure working to refocus the architectural practice on its political consequences and its possible participation in the reform of “vivre ensemble.” Est-ce ainsi articulates a critical reading of the figure of the architect throughout history to the production of inordinately minimum architectures with a particular attention to the means of production of the built environment.

Maarten Gielen is a founding member of the collective Rotor where he currently works as designer, manager and researcher. Founded in 2005, Rotor is a group of architects, designers and other professionals interested in material flows in industry and construction, particularly in relation to resources, waste, use and reuse. Rotor disseminates creative strategies for salvage and waste reduction through workshops, publications, and exhibitions. They represented Belgium at the 12th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennial in 2010, exhibited at the Fondazione Prada in Milan, and partnered with OMA at the Progress Barbican Art Gallery in London.

Architect DPLG, Xavier Wrona is a graduate of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris La Villette and of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA. He taught from 2002-2010 for the FrancoAmerican studio for the Georgia Tech Paris Program at the ENSAPLV in Paris, at the ENSAPBX in Bordeaux and is now associate professor at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Saint-Etienne, France. Est-ce ainsi was awarded the Young Architects and Landscape Architects prize by the french Ministry of Culture in 2010.

POSTGRADUATE CERTIFICATE

REINIER DE GRAAF, OMA / AMO — ROTTERDAM The 20th century taught us that utopian thinking can have precarious consequences, wagering the fate of mankind on the uncertain outcome of grand intellectual speculations. But, if the course of history is dialectic, what follows? Does the 21st century mark the absence of utopias? Isn’t that equally dangerous, if not more? What are the risks of realism? What ensues in the wake of an almost universal realization that what is good and what works are not necessarily the same? What are the dangers of a world that embraces a definitive divorce between what is just and what is effective?

KEES KAAN, KAAN ARCHITECTEN — ROTTERDAM Architectural innovation in itself serves no purpose unless a proper balance between private interest and common values is established. Kaan’s lecture will critically reflect on the contextual narrative as the driver of the architectural concept to generate a self-evident relation between city, building, construction and detail.

VISHAAN CHAKRABARTI, P-AU — NEW YORK Vishaan Chakrabarti’s recent book, A Country of Cities: A Manifesto for an Urban America (Metropolis Books, 2013), argues that a more urban United States would result in a more prosperous and socially mobile nation. Of the book the Toronto Globe and Mail wrote: “In the world of urbanism and planning, there’s been a barrage of recent books on similar themes, but Mr. Chakrabarti has written maybe the most useful one, a polemic in favor of city living that makes the stakes clear.”

BRIAN LEE, SOM — CHICAGO WORK – The Search for Authenticity. In the search for design solutions to the pressing issues of our times – environmental sustainability, intelligent urbanism, quality of life for all, meaningful experiences - do innovations and new concepts become universally applicable? Can buildings designed for the ideal be considered appropriate to a place? Do buildings, if powerful enough, become the place? WORK is a reflection on a professional practice that values understanding context, the tectonics of integrated high performance, and striving for shared meaning in architecture.

MITESH DIXIT, DOMAIN — NEW YORK Dixit’s lecture will begin by retracing the historical accounts of human values given in the Western philosophical tradition. At the centre of the discussion will be the concept of freedom and philosophers pursuit to define it. Perhaps no two philosophers have influenced our notion of freedom and its manifestation into our political structure more than Kant & Mill. The lecture will conclude with perhaps the most important german philosopher of the 19th Century and his fundamental critique of Kant’s notion of freedom and human values which leads to the foundation for the emergence of critical thought in the 20th Century.

FALL 2015 LECTURE SERIES “THE PHILOSOPHERS HAVE ONLY INTERPRETED THE WORLD, IN VARIOUS WAYS. THE POINT, HOWEVER, IS TO CHANGE IT.” - K. MARX IN CHICAGO PUBLIC LECTURE SERIES REVISITS KENNETH FRAMPTON’S 1983 ESSAY ON CRITICAL REGIONALISM. FRAMPTON’S DESIRE WAS TO BRING ATTENTION TO ADVERSE EFFECTS BOTH “MODERNITY” & “POSTMODERNITY” HAD ON THE PROFESSION AT THAT MOMENT. HE STATED THAT THE PRACTICE OF ARCHITECTURE IN THE ERA OF UNIVERSAL CIVILIZATION AND WORLD CULTURE CAN ONLY BE MAINTAINED “AS ARRIÉRE-GARDE POSITION, THAT IS TO SAY, ONE WHICH DISTANCES ITSELF EQUALLY FROM THE ENLIGHTENMENT MYTH OF PROGRESS AND FROM A REACTIONARY, UNREALISTIC IMPULSE TO RETURN TO THE ARCHITECTONIC FORMS OF THE PREINDUSTRIAL PAST.” THOUGH WRITTEN MORE THAN A QUARTER OF A

CENTURY AGO, IT SEEMS EVEN MORE TRUE TODAY. THE CONTEMPORARY CULTURE AND PRODUCTION IS A LAZY COCKTAIL OF NOSTALGIA AND MODERNISM - A MIX OF MERE SUBJECTIVE REFERENCE TO THE PAST STIRRED WITH MASS-CULTURE THAT FLATTENS OUR LOCALES AND BECOMES THE UNIVERSAL FORM OF MATERIAL PRODUCTION. LIKE FRAMPTON IN 1983, WE ARE STILL LEFT WITH THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION: HOW TO CRITICALLY MEDIATE BETWEEN THE PARTICULAR AND UNIVERSAL? HOW TO PRACTICE ARCHITECTURE BOTH LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY, IF AT ALL? THE CITY OF CHICAGO, THE GREAT EXAMPLE OF DISCIPLINARY GRID, THE FRAME STRUCTURE, THE MARKET EXPANSION, AND THE MAIL ORDER CATALOGUE, IS PERHAPS THE PERFECT GROUNDS TO INVITE CONTEMPORARY

WA$TED MARKET

2015-2016 PARTNERS: COOK COUNTY DEPT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL The building industry in the United States is responsible for an estimated 350 million tons of construction debris flowing into landfills per year. Beyond the environmental implications of this waste stream, the lost economic benefit is staggering. Archeworks, in partnership with the Cook County Department of Environmental Control, is leading a design initiative to expand the building material reuse marketplace. By questioning common perception and industry practice, the project will identify new pathways for increasing the use of reused building materials that are sustainable, technically feasible, and profitable. Through a close collaboration with the Cook County Department of Environmental Control, the Building Material Reuse Association, the ReBuilding Exchange, Delta Institute, and leading design firms, this intensive research and design project explores the barriers and opportunities for reuse that exist in current design culture and public policy, and proposes expanding the reuse economy by reenvisioning architectural practice and the built environment. Since 2015, Archeworks has developed a multifaceted approach to this project, engaging hundreds of local and international architects, strategists, stakeholders, contractors and reuse experts in the process. In partnership with national and international universities, Archeworks is leading research teams, conducting systems analysis, developing design concepts and testing applications to foster building material reuse within our region and beyond. In addition to hosting webinars and public forums to discuss and disseminate ideas, Archeworks is producing publications to generate awareness of building material reuse and explore new ways of designing the built environment.

PAST PROJECTS

PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE ENERGY USE

2014-2015 PARTNERS: CITIZENS UTILITY BOARD, ELEVATE ENERGY, FAITH IN PLACE Archeworks developed innovative campaigns and strategies to promote efficient energy use in Chicago communities, with a focus on empowering residents to realize the benefits of a modern electric grid. The design team worked with our partner organizations to develop concepts that educate about individual energy consumption, create excitement about efficiency programs and tools, and encourage residents to adopt energy-conscious behaviors in their daily lives. By highlighting the economic and environmental benefits of a modern, efficient electric grid, the project sought to influence changes in energy use behavior among residents, resulting in improved energy efficiency in Chicago neighborhoods and a more sustainable future for our city.

HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL CAMPUS

2014-2015 PARTNERS: CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, SULLIVAN HIGH SCHOOL AND KILMER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL In fall 2014, Archeworks began a multi-year design initiative with Sullivan High School and Kilmer Elementary School to create a healthy neighborhood school campus. Separated by North Shore Avenue, these two schools are located on adjacent blocks in the dense Rogers Park neighborhood, and serve primarily low-income youth without access to outdoor recreational space. This healthy campus initiative was inspired by the success of a new school-based health center and two new principals dedicated to improving the physical and mental health of students through prevention, nutrition, and fitness. The Archeworks design team was challenged with extending ideas of health and wellness beyond the school walls by connecting the two schools, reimagining the outdoor space, and promoting healthy activity among students, staff and community.

PAST PROJECTS

BUILDING SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS

2011-2013 PARTNERS: GROWING POWER CHICAGO, REHABILITATION INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO Archeworks embarked on a two year collaboration with Growing Power Chicago – a nationally recognized pioneer in grassroots urban food systems – to explore the relationship of design in creating accessible food systems. Our designers considered new forms of community infrastructure that foster a more participatory local food culture from the perspective of inclusivity and access. This included addressing the need for greater public awareness and participation in Chicago’s local food movement among underserved communities and resident stakeholders. The design team developed proposals for several modular, portable structures that support urban farm infrastructure, including a prototype for a multi-purpose shade canopy to prepare harvested produce and anchor community gatherings. Informed by Growing Power’s approach to using readily-accessible, affordable materials, the team built and installed the first of these simple canopies at the entrance of a new community-managed farm at Altgeld Gardens, a public housing community on the city’s far south side. Our illustrated DIY manual guides Growing Power staff, volunteers, and other grassroots urban growers through a step-by-step construction process to install this structure at their own farm sites.

CERMAK CREATIVE INDUSTRIES DISTRICT

2011-2012 PARTNERS: DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS AND SPECIAL EVENTS, CITY OF CHICAGO AND REHABILITATION INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO Archeworks engaged in a City-led effort to transform an isolated industrial corridor into a new district for the creative industries. The proposed Cermak Creative Industries District, which borders the communities of Chinatown and Pilsen, will provide a mix of work spaces and collaborative opportunities for diverse enterprises that are part of Chicago’s expanding creative industries sector. Laying important groundwork for the District’s predevelopment phase, Archeworks focused on expanding access across the District while aiding in the city’s vision to reanimate the historic District as a creative hub. The team constructed small scale physical and digital interventions to enhance the interaction between potential users of the site, current tenants, and the District.

PAST PROJECTS

INSPIRE: GARDENS FOR ALL

2010-2011 PARTNERS: CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN, REHABILITATION INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO, SEGAL DESIGN INSTITUTE AT NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, ARCHITECTURE FOR HUMANITY CHICAGO STREET FURNITURE DESIGN COMPETITION Archeworks collaborated with the Chicago Botanic Garden and the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) to create a therapeutic garden accessible for people with a wide range of abilities, especially disabled and senior gardeners, in the Washington Park neighborhood on Chicago’s south side. The garden combined innovative architecture and landscape elements with programmatic ideas that address gardeners’ physical and restorative therapeutic needs. Archeworks facilitated community design workshops to elicit ideas from residents about the garden’s physical site design, and collaborated with stroke patients, occupational therapists, and therapeutic garden staff to address specific needs of disabled and senior gardeners. The Washington Park garden is adjacent to the Chicago Botanic Garden’s Green Youth Farm, an urban agriculture and youth education program for students attending Dyett High School. The project grew to include the design, build and installation of modular structures for accessible gathering, learning and collaboration space at the Green Youth Farm at Dyett High School. Working with small teams of Dyett students, Archeworks installed seating, a table and a shade structure for the site. The units were designed to be accessible and constructed from salvaged materials.

WASTE MATTERS

2010-2011 PARTNERS: CHICAGO INTERNATIONAL CHARTER SCHOOL- IRVING PARK CAMPUS, UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO In partnership with the Chicago International Charter School - Irving Park Campus, Archeworks developed prototypes and programs to support the school’s “Zero Waste” plan for integrated recycling and composting systems. The team designed several composter prototypes at various scales, including a year-round medium-scale composter that processes the school’s organic compostable food scraps and other materials. To support the school’s goal of preparing youth to become life-long ecological citizens, Archeworks also created supplemental classroom curriculum that ties student learning to Zero Waste principles. The project laid important groundwork for a public education and stewardship campaign to inspire students, teachers, parents, and the surrounding neighborhood to embrace core principles of a sustainable waste system. The team’s neighborhood engagement efforts included a foodshed mapping project supported by a team of undergraduate urban planning students at the University of IllinoisChicago.

PAST PROJECTS

MOBILE FOOD COLLECTIVE

2009-2010 PARTNER: GARY COMER YOUTH CENTER FEATURED AT THE 2010 VENICE BIENNALE In response to growing public interest in the social, economic, and health benefits associated with local food production, Archeworks developed the Mobile Food Collective (MFC), a family of flexible mobile structures designed to create a more participatory food culture and inspire people to play a more active role in supporting local food production. The mission of the MFC was to develop and strengthen a system of cultural infrastructure that incorporates the themes of heritage, ownership, exchange, and connection into a new food culture and establish networks of partnerships with nonprofits, community gardens, urban farms, grocery stores, and restaurants in neighborhoods across Chicago. The Mobile Food Collective was showcased in the U.S. Pavilion at the 12th International Architecture Exhibition of the 2010 Venice Biennale. Archeworks was among a prestigious collective of seven architectural groups from across the country participating in the exhibition, Workshopping: An American Model of Architectural Practice.

HISTORY


“In the broader view of design and rising from my fundamental belief that dimensional convergence is the new design grid, the ground is now in view as the field pattern. The dimension of the convergence is only limited by our capacities. I urge the design profession to convergence, speak to the subject, rally the cause of good design, embrace the future with excitement and passion, explore new theories for adapting design for need, shed outdated conditions for new design systems, and recognize the fluid web of interdependent relationships critical for good design. I consider design as an underutilized opportunity and system to effect change in positive ways. Optimistically, I believe that design has the power to engage, support and nurture society.� EVA MADDOX DIMENSIONAL CONVERGENCE ARCHEWORKS PAPERS VOL 1, NUMBER ONE, 2004

ARCHEWORKS : THE BRIEF HISTORY OF AN IDEA

In the spring of 1993, I was fired as director of the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Earlier that year, both Eva Maddox (who significantly, I had brought to teach interior architecture at IC) and I (in our separate professional practices) collaborated on an urban design/streetscape project in Muskegon, Michigan. Some of Muskegon’s “city fathers” expressed interest in our design presentations and pointedly, the language that we used to describe the process by which these designs came about). The spokesman for the Muskegon leadership, Scott Devon, suggested that Eva and I start a Bauhaus-like school in their microregion. (There was something of a recession at that time, causing difficulties for some of the major manufacturers in the furniture industry (Knoll, Herman Miller, Steelcase, Haworth) who were situated within the region.) While we knew that our professional commitments in Chicago could not allow for such a radical move, Eva and I were also aware that we had been privy to a conversation in which something that consequential had been uttered that might just lead us to establishing a similarly derived alternative design school in Chicago. Without any further thought, I promptly resigned from my tenured professorship at the university, which, when accomplished gave me, together with Eva, the opportunity to initiate strategies for the implementation of what was eventually to become known as Archeworks. Stepping back from the outburst of emotional energy that led to our rash decision, we were well aware that while conventional architectural education had, on more than a few occasions, encouraged students to engage in “design in the context of social cause,” precious little of these concepts found their way into practice. We suspected that certain constraints (tenure, prerequisites, etc.) might be among the culprits causing some inertia, retarding the transfer of ideas from the academy into practice. Therefore, Eva and I began to envision an alternative, somewhat less rigid design-educational institution than the conventional model, in which we ourselves had been trained, that might make it easier to attain the confluence that we were seeking. Archeworks evolution from idea to reality was just that simple. We never stopped to think about what roadblocks might stand in the way of our idea for a new design school ultimately very different from the schools with which we were familiar. But—as the pop song goes—“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.” In hindsight, it seems somehow appropriate that we began Archeworks on a wish for a whim, for that is precisely the stuff of optimism that (for me) has always informed the intrinsic nature of architecture, thus grounding it in hope. The founding of Archeworks was straightforward: We formed a small board of trustees (composed of a few supporters), we became incorporated as a public charitable trust (for IRS purposes, we became a 501 (c)(3)), and we persuaded two of my recent UIC architecture school colleagues, Doug Garofalo and Bob Somol, to assist us in thinking through some significant pedagogical issues that might have an impact on defining our new, as yet unformed, school. It required a year of planning before classes actually began, but we used that time fruitfully by designing and distributing catalogs and posters to architecture and design schools worldwide. We also presented our conceptual initiative at a social gathering organized by our friend and supporter Judy Neisser, and we began generating focused thoughts about what might be the nature of our mission. In the fall of 1993, I was offered a visiting professorship at Yale’s architecture school, which I promptly configured as a dry run for Archeworks. Yale students who had signed up for the studio were given the opportunity to engage in projects with a social cause. Maddox, Garofalo, and Somol came to New Haven for the final review, and with the help of the students, we convened a conference of those concerned with the interdependence of both “town and gown.” Yale’s

president, and key faculty, and students from around the university, together with New Haven’s mayor and several alderman, came to deliberate of the topics of ethics in the context of Yale’s and New Haven’s necessarily symbiotic relationship. Back in Chicago, the newly founded institution was generously offered (rent free) a basement space in a recently converted loft building at 18th and Indiana Streets across from H. H. Richardson’s Glessner House. We brought together young, energetic faculty (we referred to them as “facilitators”) and hired an administrator, A. Brown. In autumn 1994, we convened our first one-year, post-professional program, composed of eight students from diverse educational and vocational backgrounds, in what Bob Somol began to refer to as a “post-disciplinary” setting. It was thus that we began our adventure in alternative design education. I can’t say that these 12 years have been without missteps, but they have always been filled with an overreaching optimism that we were on the track of something that, to us, needed to be done. Over time, that optimism was ratified by a number of architecture schools moving in the same direction. Meanwhile, an expanded board of trustees has been enthusiastically supportive, many local and national foundations have opened their (fiscal) doors to us, and our donor base has expanded. We enlarged our full-time staff to include an executive director, a development officer, and a registrar/administrator. Certainly, I’m not about to boast that every project undertaken at Archeworks has had positive results, but as Eva Maddox always said, “…the new school needed to find its own voice.” Over these 12 years, and with a necessary modicum or patience by all involved, I believe that Archeworks has at least done just that. But the significance of Archeworks is more about a new idea, education that explores the “seam” between the academy and practice rather than (not so simply) in generating objects for people who need them most. Were the institution to run its course, its conceptual origins will have nonetheless been of some consequence to conventionally derived design education. Ours is a time when programs like Archeworks are, in my view, genuinely significant. It seems to me that as architects and designers, we are all obligated to give something back to society: it would be awful to think that an ethically optimistic discipline that is so bold as to make something—architecture—out of nothing would be undertaken just to pluck, like apples from a tree, commissions as a signification of success in a free-based capitalist society. Thus, the idea of this publication, at some level, was conceived more as a notation of a flawed epoch, so that an alternative design school such as ours seemed necessary as a corrective. There are notations here by others connected with the school. The aggregate constitutes a record of a time and a city that could somehow absorb an idea like Archeworks: a modest proposal for alternative design education to conceive the best possible design for those in need of it—and then to try to distribute those products. Because of time constraints (a single academic year severely limits a great deal of accomplishment when “actualization” is the name of the game), we have always been hard pressed to consistently fulfill our stated mission. Yet, the conception process seemed to equal the product, and I can report honestly that the morale of the institution remained high throughout. And so, after a dozen years in the trenches—so to speak—we wonder what an Archeworks future holds for us. Whatever transpires, it remains clear to me that an ethical construct underpinned the concept from its beginning to date. Personally, I am thrilled that architects and designers from intrinsically optimistic disciplines came together to collectively address the problems of the day—be damned under what institutional circumstance brought them to those bold decisions. If Archeworks can, in any way, be constructed as an ethical paradigm, it is because architects and designers responded to the needs of society, professionally as well as personally.

FROM THE BEGINNING OF ARCHEWORKS, DEFINING IT HAS BEEN SLIPPERY... The core of the program is a laboratory that consists of research and development teams that constitute themselves on a per-project basis. Archeworks effectuates change by conceiving and implementing projects that are directed at areas of need. It is in this sense an ambidextrous place where thought and action combine to effect lives. Archeworks takes a critical look well beyond appearance-based ideas of design; in fact as often as not the findings review how the circumstances of the discipline (design, architecture, etc.). With courage and optimism, Archeworks attempts nothing less than a new social contract for design, raising expectations for change. Archeworks is then both a think tank and workshop from the bottom up, and as such it is not an institution for imparting knowledge but a laboratory for constructing it. Archeworks maintains that social agendas can best be substantively addressed in a supraor post-disciplinary setting in order to promote tacticians of need responsible for curing social and community dysfunction. It is in part this detachment from conventional academia, with all its reliance on conventional structure, prerequisites, tenure, accreditation, etc., that frees Archeworks to invent new solutions according to the situation of each problem, client, community, etc. It is not the same for all projects, in fact it rarely repeats. The ability of the institution to change, to morph and reconfigure itself for the purpose of a particular issue, is one of Archeworks most distinguishing features. DOUG GAROFALO ARCHEWORK12 YEARS OF ARCHEWORKS: AN OVERVIEW CONVENTION CHALLENGED , 2006

The Latin prefix “arche-“ means of course “chief” or “principal,” “first in authority of order” —also, significantly, “primitive,” meaning first in time. “Arche”-“ there suggests twin responsibilities — to commencement and commandment — which couple access to first things with the power of final say. The authority of “first works” issues in part from command over the relationship between the various divisions of manufacture in respect of the work as a whole; in part from privileged familiarity with the circumstances under which constructed work begins; and in part from the root principles and antecedents that connect current works with past traditions. Part of the novelty of “Archeworks” derives from its broad extension of these ideas to “design” — we could go so far as to say “first design” or even first designers.” D.S.
