Preoccupation with image and a failure to look at process has led entire generations of architects to overlook transfer technologies and transfer processes. Drawing upon the principles discussed in his 2004 book Refabricating Architecture, James Timberlake will discuss how process has changed, broadened, and informed the definition of art in architecture.
Timberlake is a partner at KieranTimberlake Associates LLP, an award-winning and internationally recognized architecture firm noted for its research, innovation, and inventive design. He is adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Design, where he and his partner, Stephen Kieran, lead a graduate research studio. He has served as Eero Saarinen Distinguished Professor of Design at Yale University and Max Fisher Chair at the University of Michigan. He received the Rome Prize in 1982, and in 2001 he and Kieran were the inaugural recipients of the prestigious Benjamin Latrobe Fellowship for architectural design research from the AIA College of Fellows.
They have coauthored two books: Manual, the Architecture of KieranTimberlake (Princeton Architectural Press, 2002) and Refabricating Architecture (McGraw Hill, 2004). Their next book, Loblolly House: Elements of a New Architecture, scheduled for release in spring 2008, is a case study of a single building that shows a way forward to quality, productivity, and sustainability.
