DESIGN EXPERIENCE Established in 1993, Randall Stout Architects, Inc. (RSA) is a Los Angeles-based architectural, interiors, planning, and urban design firm, with national and international projects. RSA has designed numerous buildings that are recognized as prominent architectural icons within and beyond their respective communities. Not only do they aesthetically embody the ethics and values of the public institutions they accommodate but also engage the public with uplifting forms and spaces that incite curiosity and respect: the designs generate a presence greater than their size alone. RSA takes great care in creating buildings that are inviting and artistic without being static. Light, shadow, form, and material all contribute to shaping a dynamic architecture that heightens one’s awareness of space and sense of discovery: the sequences of rooms and views emphasizes the experience of the building rather than the display of form. The public is not a passive audience to a stage set but actors in their own unfolding space. Although our work is unquestionably contemporary in nature, we do not have a singular style. We prefer to express the uniqueness of each site, its regional context, and client objective in the design. These expressions tend toward abstraction, allowing individual interpretation and meaning. Collectively our buildings contain a narrative that expresses optimism about our culture, technology, and arts, evidencing their place in the 21st Century. Recognizing the interdependence of design innovation and functionality, RSA fields a highly talented team that methodically pursues creative design solutions with an expertise grounded in the experience of how to execute and complete complex and specialized projects. Our team also understands the importance of architecture’s role in the global environment. As an active member of the California Council Sustainability Task Force and AIA’s Committee on the Environment, RSA provides a team of LEED accredited architects, emphasizing sustainability and environmental responsibility. Collectively, our projects to date provide an annual carbon dioxide reduction of 35,800 cubic tons in comparison to conventional construction. Recognized for both our design and environmental excellence, RSA has received numerous national awards in the United States
and Germany, and has been highlighted by the U.S. Department of Energy and many environmental organizations. The materials used to pursue these goals are often not exotic. We prefer to work in a “matter-of-fact” manner, using familiar building materials with excellent life-cycle value, crafting them in ways that make the ordinary extraordinary. When completed, the building is our integral response to our clients’ needs. Their design aesthetic preferences, site, program, budget, and schedule are the generative forces. We delight in elevating all these aspirations and requirements to their highest and best potential. RSA has an impressive record for establishing long-term regional, national, and international collaborations with specialists and architects, which promotes a high level of project innovation, efficiency and productivity. We maintain licenses in California, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Rhode Island as well as the Canadian province of Alberta. PROJECT APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
Identifying multi-use spaces and operational flexibility is critical to optimizing and balancing the project prior to beginning schematic design. At RSA, our team diligently confers with client administrators and end users to balance program ambitions, project size, quality and budget. Having completed Programming and Program Verification Services for numerous projects, such as the University of California, Riverside, Art Museum of Western Virginia, Hunter Museum for American Art, North Carolina Museum of Art, we take pride in skillful consensus building among stakeholders with diverse interests. From the initiation of the Schematic Design Phase, we collaborate with the client, using physical models of the site and program components. These models provide a 3-D and real-time interface with the client to visualize multiple approaches to site planning, parking options, program distribution by floor level, and expression of the building volume. In this way we achieve client buy-in for fundamental planning concepts before moving ahead with “architectural image” concepts. We believe that creating a highly functional plan, including the allocation of MEP systems, is imperative before the exterior design is initiated. After these steps are completed, the exterior and interior designs are conceived, reviewed, refined, costed and valueengineered. randall stout architects, inc. 2.2

LEED AND SUSTAINABILITY Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Randall Stout Architects understands the impact of design and construction on the global environment. Staffed with a talented team of LEED accredited professionals, we are firmly committed to environmental conservation through sustainable designs that utilize renewable resources and energy efficient systems. Our spaces and forms respond to the particular environmental design criteria of each site and program, resulting in a unique and symbiotic relationship between architecture, microclimate and site characteristics. At RSA, environmental design entails much more than the addition of solar and resource-conserving components to conventional architecture. It is an integral aspect of our holistic design process. RSA is highly regarded for producing some of the world’s most distinguished sustainable architecture. We have won the top national awards for sustainability in Germany and in the United States. Last year, one of our projects was selected by the Department of Energy and the AIA Committee on the Environment as being one of the 10 best “green” buildings by American architects. To date, our projects include an annual carbon dioxide reduction of 38,500 cubic tons in comparison to conventional construction. Client benefits from our designs include lower energy costs, extended life cycle of mechanical and electrical systems, better employee morale, improved work place productivity, lower absenteeism rates ,public endorsement regarding environmental concerns, and a healthier living environment. Randall Stout actively serves on the AIA California Council Sustainability Task Force and the AIA Committee on the Environment. He has spoken at numerous environmental lectures, such as: “Benchmarking Public Policy Mandates for Environmentally Responsible Development” at USC School of Policy, Planning and Development; “Key to the Global Thermostat: The Architect’s Role in Global Warming”, at the Los Angeles Symposium, “Solar Symposium” at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power; and “Emerging Architecture” at the American Solar Energy Society National Conference. Among the various publications that feature sustainable RSA projects, Mr. Stout has also contributed his own works, including Building Envelopes, published by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, and Environmental Alchemy: Randall Stout Architects, published by Edizioni Press.

Project Experience and Qualifications . Built Work
Located on a prominent corner of Roanoke’s downtown, the new Art Museum building creates a gateway to the city for visitors arriving from US Highway 581. As Roanoke’s most contemporary structure, it also is intended as a metaphorical gateway to the future as the city evolves from an industrial and manufacturing economy to a technology-driven economy. The building’s forms and materials evoke the drama of the surrounding mountainous landscape of the Shenandoah Valley, framed by the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains. The variations of the forms and textures emphasize the striations, clefts and eroded rock surfaces found in the region’s famous caverns, cliffs and river gorges. The 75,445 square foot building occupies three levels with a central atrium rising to a height of 77 feet. All functions are organized off this atrium space, a multi-use home for ticketing and information, temporary installation of large-scale sculpture, public meeting, special events and performances. Public spaces, including the lobby, theater lobby, café, museum store, auditorium, and education areas are located on the ground level, along with support areas associated with the loading dock and art receiving. The glass atrium will allow the lobby to be filled with natural light during the day. At night, the illuminated glass roof surfaces will allow the volume to glow like a beacon and draw the community to the Art Museum’s activities. Permanent collection galleries, special exhibition galleries and art storage are located on the
second level. The third and uppermost floor holds the boardroom, director’s suite, and all staff offices. The third floor administration level will receive a significant amount of natural light as the undulating roof forms allow multiple opportunities to provide clerestory windows.

BÜCKEBURG GAS AND WATER COMPANY, BÜCKEBURG, GERMANY (1998) randall stout architects, inc.
Project Experience and Qualifications . Experience with Prior Firms
Bückeburg Gas & Water Company, a city public works division responsible for water and natural gas distribution, is located in a 17th century castle town in Northern Germany. The moated castle itself is the central hub of a radial street pattern, which leads to civic buildings and sites, including a train station. The street crossing in front of the station, aptly named Am Bahnhof—or literally, “by the station”—terminates at the project site. Located in a site where an abundant number of historical architecture still remains, the client sought an administrative headquarters whose exterior quietly complements the neighborhood, while its interior conveys 21st Century functionality. Based on the company’s work with water and natural gas, the architects designed a company image that related to “flow”. The idea of “flow” related not only to water and gas, but also to the movement of staff and visitors as a human resource flowing through the building’s primary circulation spaces. The architects successfully created the visual metaphor of flow while avoiding the symbology of gas and water. In deference to its historic district location, the building’s exterior was designed to be subtle and reserved, while the interior is dynamic and energetic. The water-sculpted canyon narrows of the Colorado Plateau, specifically in the Northern Arizona Navajo Nation lands where flash flood erosion of Navajo sandstone creates the slot canyons, influenced the resulting design. The naturally formed architecture of this canyon is fluid, infinitely varying under the constantly changing natural light. Photographic compositions of the canyon inspired form studies with computer simulations and three-dimensional models. Inspired by the canyon concept, the client commissioned a threestory fresco painting installation on a lobby wall. The project responds to its urban context by providing a prominent front entry facing Am Bahnhof and the train station. A secondary building entrance allows access from other company service buildings and the staff parking area. Between these two entries, a 2 1/2-story glass atrium serves as the project’s circulation spine and the most prominent social space, improving impromptu staff communication. The atrium unifies the new and existing small office blocks that complement the scale of the adjacent residential neighborhood. The project materials reflect the some of the region’s most prevalent materials: limestone and plaster. The building integrates energy-efficient components throughout, including photovoltaic panels that provide
a substantial amount of electricity for lighting. In addition, solar hot water collectors supply heat to a heat exchanger, controlled by a building energy management system. From the heat exchanger, warm air is pumped into tubes buried in the concrete walls of the atrium stair, allowing it to serve as a radiator for the atrium space. Atrium air warmed by the radiant heat is re-circulated in ducts at the atrium roof. The entire system can be reversed in summer months so that the thermal mass of the concrete stair walls is a heat sink that removes heat from the atrium and out of the building through the use of the heat exchanger. Solar collectors are also used to help provide domestic hot water for the building. A gray water system recycles rainwater for toilet use. Collectively, the sustainable principles applied in the design result in healthy, light-filled spaced, which have improved office morale, increased employee productivity and reduced absenteeism. Especially satisfied with the architecture’s representation of their company, the client commissioned an exhibit for the building, including Randall Stout’s “inspiration photography”, which was purchased as a permanent installation for the building’s main conference room.

HUNTER MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART, CHATTANOOGA ,TN (2005) randall stout architects, inc. 3.7
Project Experience and Qualifications . Built Work
Dramatically situated atop an 80 foot limestone bluff overlooking the Tennessee River and Downtown Chattanooga, the newly renovated Hunter Museum of American Art and its West Addition will be one of the most prominent buildings in the city. The new building rises over 45 feet above the bluff, with an easily recognizable profile and clear sight lines from the city’s historic center and across the river. Drawing from the natural setting of the site, the architects developed a building design that embodies a contemporary interpretation of the rock outcroppings and strata within the cliff below, while the undulating forms of the roof reflect the dynamic movements of the neighboring river. Contributing to this dynamic exterior is a materials palette consisting of glass and aluminum curtain wall, oxidized zinc cladding and a stainless steel roof with angel hair finish. While floating above the glass atrium lobby, the fluid-like roof separates the new addition from the body of the existing building. Conceived as primarily a West Addition to the historic 1905 mansion that had been expanded to the north and east in the 1970’s, the project re-establishes the primacy of the mansion at the center of the complex and brings balance to the overall facility and site composition. Inspired by the surrounding natural environment, the museum design reallocated surface parking to create “a museum in a garden”. The new building design seeks to reach out to the larger community with its intriguing, welcoming forms, extensive public areas, sociable terraces, and numerous city watching plazas and balconies. Within the museum, the design solves long-standing staff and art circulation problems by creating state-ofthe-art receiving, storage and work areas, as well as including oversized art freight elevators. Improving museum functionality for visitors, the design consolidates the permanent collection onto a single floor, which is conveniently accessible from new public areas, including the lobby, auditorium, education studios, café, and gift shop. A new temporary exhibitions gallery will be located above the auditorium, with views into the lobby atrium and toward the river. This design allows the lower level to be dedicated to administrative and museum support areas. A new below-grade loading dock minimizes delivery traffic presence on the site and supports a new suite of spaces for registrar receiving, exhibit preparation, security, and art storage.
Linking the museum to Downtown Chattanooga, the museum’s program for civic engagement is extended via a new pedestrian bridge. The bridge connects a new public plaza at Walnut Street and First Street to the museum, allowing visitors to walk above the traffic from the city to the museum. This revitalized urban project reverses the site’s previous isolation, created in the 1970’s when Riverfront Drive was excavated. The contemporary language of the 2005 addition will be a dramatic contrast to the museum’s turn of the century mansion home. It transfers the museum’s public image from that of a private, reserved manor to a lively, open civic forum for all the arts. The new building will also act as a notable tourist attraction for the city’s newly revitalized downtown and riverfront.

BLAIR GRAPHICS, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (1998) randall stout architects, inc. 3.9
Project Experience and Qualifications . Experience with Prior Firms
Blair Graphics is a prominent Los Angeles reprographics company that needed to renovate and expand its facility to incorporate new developments in reproduction technology. Along with this mission, the client also wanted to find a building design that communicates the scope and caliber of its services, change the company’s physical image from a low-tech to a high-tech firm and improve the company’s productivity and efficiency. In order to ensure the company’s future competitiveness, the design integrated a broad variety of cutting-edge machinery and technology into the existing property. A new electronic digital color photo lab replaced an outdated black and white camera/film based photo lab. Eliminating conventional blueprinting, digital scanning and printing equipment replaced all ammonia-based diazo type printers. As a result of this transformation, Blair Graphics became the first completely digital, full service reprographics company in Los Angeles. An expanded lobby and improved front façade greatly enhance the company’s public image. The new lobby includes a new customer waiting area, work area, and customer computer stations for order placement and monitoring. The vaulted ceiling structure and new finishes give the lobby an open, modern feel. An improved staff and customer circulation zone encircles display walls that feature the company’s products and services. In addition to the lobby’s welcoming environment, the new, dynamic façade contributes to the company’s improved image. Simplifying the existing multicolored exterior façade, the architects added red brick walls that harmonize with the aesthetic of the original brick warehouse. This neutral façade acts as a contrasting backdrop for the striking metal entry canopy and glass lobby. An abstract representation of origami paper, the peaked and folded forms of the illuminated entry canopy create a unique and welcoming presence, as well as a robust iconic presence. The new building materials also convey the technological nature of the company. Galvanized metal is used on the entry canopy, within the digital customer lounge, and throughout the public corridor, along with cast-aluminum signage. Frameless glass on the front façade further emphasizes the company’s high-tech image. In addition to the external improvements, the firm’s workspace environment was also improved. The
designers refurbished the staff break and lunch rooms with new cabinetry, appliances, and finishes, and designed workstations for the computer department. Code upgrades included ADA compliance and a new fire suppression system. Building systems upgrades included new equipment and controls for mechanical and electrical components. As a result of this design, the company’s marketing success increased considerably. Following the project’s completion, Blair Graphics’ net profit margin had increased from 9.5% to 19.6%, an increase of 106% compared to the same period in the previous year. Because of the productivity increases, sales per employee increased by 20%, reducing workforce by 6%. In addition to an increase in profits and productivity, the company gained a reputation of being a pleasant and successful place to work, which improved employee recruitment and greatly enhanced the company’s public image to the community and to its prospective clientele Project Team: Randall Stout Architects, Inc.

Predicting an increase in visitor traffic during the EXPO 2000 in Hanover, the client commissioned this project to update its nearby recreational facilities. In keeping with the EXPO theme, “Man, Nature, Environment”, the client requested the design to be sustainable and ecologically sensitive. Exceeding the design goals, this innovative sustainable design received the Soltec award for “Innovation in Technology”, was awarded a federal grant for its photovoltaic energy systems and was selected by the EXPO committee as a tour stop for its “Energy + Architecture Boulevard”. Since then, the project has been recognized with an AIA Top Ten Green Award, numerous other awards and publications in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia. Located off the south shore of the Steinhüde Sea in north-central Germany, Badeinsel, a 11.4-acre (46,000 square meter) island, is connected to the mainland by bridge. Marinas and residential structures line the mainland shore, while the island is a nature preserve, accessible for public recreation. The new facility accommodates public services and amenities with minimal ecological impact. Divided into four use zones, the area features the beach, a playing field, a green area for music performances and a nature walk with a children’s play area. The recreation building houses the cafeteria, lifeguard facilities, boathouse, storage, public toilets and shower facilities, an exhibition area and an observation deck. Adjacent to the building and included in this new project is a dock for solar-powered recreation boats, an informal kiosk and landscape revisions. The project aesthetically synthesizes various components of the island’s recreation and vacation culture. An abstract representation of a sunbathing figure, the building’s roof faces south to bask in the sun. Major construction materials consist of wood, translucent wall panels and windows, and metal stairs. Room locations are determined by their function, with café and lifeguard areas positioned for views of the beach and marina areas. The observation deck is 29.5 feet (9 meters) above the ground plane, allowing unobstructed views. Panoramic graphic panels identify shoreline landmarks and crosssea views to the historically significant Wilhelmstein Island. The landscaping emphasizes the rugged natural character of the existing native vegetation. At the southern edge of the building, the curving roof line is held low so that it appears to emerge from the landscape, connecting built and natural forms. While highlighting the building form, dramatic night
lighting is created by a glowing, ambient light, emanating from the building like a lantern. Constructed primarily of recyclable polycarbonate panels over wood studs and joists, the building has a wood shear wall on the three-story face, composed of wood framing with anchored tongue-andgroove planks. Wood structural frame spacing matches the photovoltaic panel size, allowing for integral connection and support. Through the active use of renewable resource technology, the project efficiently achieves self-sufficiency. Photovoltaic panels provide power for electric boats and the building lighting on a seasonal basis. A rapeseed oil turbine generator provides additional power for peak loads associated with the café. The project is connected to the city power grid to distribute its electrical surplus. A gray water system supplies the public and staff toilet facilities. In addition, high standards of energy conservation, including natural ventilation and building automation, reduce power consumption. Located on an ecologically sensitive island, the project is inaccessible to heavy construction equipment, requiring building parts to be prefabricated off-site in manageable panel sizes. The off-site adjacent panels were test-fitted for assembly alignment, brought by truck to the Steinhüde Sea, loaded onto barges and then floated to the island’s edge. Because of the building’s close proximity to the shoreline, construction crews were able to use a barge-mounted crane to place the panels on the foundation. The project was completed on schedule and on budget for the beginning of EXPO in early Summer 2000.
