Studio 804, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization committed to the continued research and development of sustainable, affordable, and inventive building solutions. This is done by examining, on all levels, the standards of human comfort and the nature of urban spaces. The organization is a comprehensive education opportunity for graduate students entering the final year of the Master of Architecture program at the University of Kansas School of Architecture, Design and Planning. The goal of each year is to provide students an experience encompassing all aspects of the design and construction process: from working with building code and zoning officials to hiring third party inspectors, from communicating with engineers and neighborhood associations to signing contracts, from doing estimates to driving nails. To date the studio has completed seven LEED〔(USGBC LEED )〕 Platinum projects and two Passive House〔(Passive House Institute )〕 certified projects, both rigorous environmental standards for buildings.〔(Studio 804 About Us )〕 Studio 804 produces one building per year, and it is through the support of organizations and individuals committed to environmental stewardship that the Studio is able to continue its service to the community at large.〔(Studio 804 Projects )〕 Dan Rockhill is the Executive Director of Studio 804 and the J. L. Constant Distinguished Professor of Architecture at the University of Kansas School of Architecture, Design and Planning.〔(Dan Rockhill - KU Faculty )〕 He is a principal of the design firm (Rockhill and Associates ). Their work is tightly bound to the natural milieu and culture of the Kansas region. In the spirit of regionalism, the areas archetypal forms, Spartan aesthetics, frugal methods, and relationship to nature permeate the results. Their awards include: Residential Architect magazine’s Firm of the Year,〔(Residential Architect: Rockhill and Associates )〕 one of Natural Home magazine’s Top Ten Green Architecture Firms, and Architecture magazine’s “Home of the Year.” Their work has recently been recognized for the 2006 Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award.〔(Studio 804 People )〕 == The Forum at Marvin Hall - 2014 == (The Forum ) was conceived in 2004 by John Gaunt, Dean the University of Kansas School of Architecture, Design & Planning from 1995 to 2015. Located off historic Jayhawk Boulevard, the addition to historic School of Architecture at Marvin Hall addresses the school’s critical need for an auditorium for lecture courses and guest speakers, while also providing a separate breakout jury space for student reviews and presentations. In this way, students of the School of Architecture will no longer be required to walk across campus to attend their classes, but rather, will attend classes in a building that exemplifies their studies on emerging technologies, passive design strategies, and energy-efficient mechanical systems. What was the old Jury Room was renovated and will now serve as a Commons Room — a lounge area to serve the collaborative environment of the School and contribute to the entry sequence of Marvin Hall. The size and complexity of this task was made possible by Dean Gaunt. This, coupled with the need for a multi-functional facility for the School of Architecture, Design & Planning, enabled this project to find its completion within only one year and exists as a landmark achievement for both the School and Studio 804. The Marvin Hall Forum marks Studio 804’s seventh LEED Platinum building.〔(The Forum at Marvin Hall )〕 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「Studio 804」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
