Kevin Sloan is a landscape architect, urban planner and writer with international scope, located in Dallas, Texas. He is the founder and director of Kevin Sloan Studio, a design studio principally concerned with the urban design and landscape architectural problems generated by the metropolitan city and its new and unprecedented formation. He has taught architecture, urban design and landscape architecture at a number of universities and colleges, including as a visiting professor at Syracuse University in Florence, Italy. He has contributed numerous journal articles and is a former columnist on architecture and design for ''Dallas Downtown Business News''. Sloan’s built works encompass new prototypes, landscape systems and environmental strategies that address the ecology of the American Southwest and its similarities with North Africa – which share the same latitude. Works generally fall within the category of “landscape urbanism.” By transforming a typical street into “biofiltration machine,” at Urban Reserve Dallas〔Brown, Steve (March 2, 2005). “Old Site, Modern Project.” The Dallas Morning News.〕 he won international recognition from Eco-Structure magazine〔Grant, Laurie (July/August 2009). “Innovative Green Projects 2009.” Eco-structure, pp. 32–34.〕 as one of seven notable environmental projects in 2009. Sloan specializes in, and has conducted seminars on, “notational drawing,〔“Notational Drawings and Travel Journals.” (June 15, 2005). Texas Living, p.8.〕” an analytical drawing technique for measuring and diagramming world places, as the generative basis for new design works. While earning a master of architecture from Syracuse University (1992), he won a graduate fellowship to study in Florence, Italy, and the Britton Medal for best architectural thesis project. He holds a bachelor of landscape architecture from Kansas State University (1980). Recent Kevin Sloan Studio projects include master planning the 270-acre South Campus at Syracuse University in New York; the urban design for Vitruvian Park, a 100-acre mixed use development in north Dallas; the master plan for a dense urban addition on Lake Carolyn in Dallas; and the master plan for the Southern Methodist University’s winning submission for the George W. Bush Presidential Library.〔“Bush Library Architect Selection Begins.” (August 1, 2007). Architectural Record, p.42〕 ==Professional background== Sloan began his interest in the metropolitan city through large-scale works at prior firms. Formerly a vice president at Hillier Architecture, he was the firm’s national resource for site planning, landscape architecture and urban design. Projects completed individually while at Hillier include the Sprint World Headquarters,〔Martin, Frank Edgerton (August 2001). “The City That Stands Alone.” Landscape Architecture, pp. 75–83.〕 SABRE Corporate World Headquarters〔Olp, Gary (November/December 2002). “LEEDing With Good Design.” Texas Architect, p.46.〕 and a feasibility study for the Gettysburg National Park. Big Sky, Texas,〔Robinson, Gaile (July 3, 1999). “Preserving the Prairie.” Chicago Tribune, New Homes section, p.1.〕 a planning solution for a community on a prairie site, synthesized many of his interests prior to Kevin Sloan Studio. International works while design director at HOK included urban additions to Cuernavaca, Mexico, and New Delhi, India. Urban projects included the urbanization of I-95 through Philadelphia and for the 1995 “Esplanade” planning study in Dallas that introduced the idea for a freeway park over an intercity highway that began construction in 2009. Early works at Amphion – a firm made up of former Lawrence Halprin and Associate partners – led to his role as project designer for the Alamo Plaza Transit Mall, Omaha Riverfront Park and the Austin, Texas, Arboretum. Sloan founded Kevin Sloan Studio in 2004. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kevin Warren Sloan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
