Each year the Architecture League honors a group of up-and-coming North American architecture firms as Emerging Voices, an award that recognizes “a distinct design voice” and “the potential to influence the disciplines of architecture, landscape design and urbanism.” This year the panel selected eight firms: INABA, 5468796 architecture, SCAPE Landscape Architecture, Studio NMinusOne, Oyler Wu Collaborative, SsD, Arquitectura 911sc, and Atelier TAG.
Each firm will present their work as part of a lecture series hosted by the Architecture League beginning on March 2nd at Cooper Union. Tickets go on sale this week, but if you’d like to know a little bit more about each firm before attending, here’s a rundown of the second half of the bunch. Be sure to check out yesterday’s post with the first four.
Oyler Wu Collaborative
Location: Los Angeles
Mission Statement: Oyler Wu’s website is light on text and heavy on images and video, which makes sense for architects who seem to be less interested in the conceptual side and more focused on materials and building processes. In this video you can watch a hand-made woven net transform into a large, steel-frame pavilion.
Major Projects: Installations for Sci-Arc, various outdoor pavilions and a jutting, steel housing complex in Taipei.
