CRUSH ©2011 modulararts, Inc. keep things open so that we can keep plugging in new ideas and developing stakeholders.” Additionally, he hopes that the longer timeframe will allow for a more articulated approach to research and will help jumpstart the VAI’s fellowship program, which has been dormant since the beginning of 2011. Van der Leer also has ambitious plans for new design competitions, which the VAI has long sponsored. In 1999, the organization’s “TKTS2K” competition helped spark the remaking of Times Square. And in 2011, the VAI partnered with the U.S. National Park Service and the National Parks Conservation Association to launch “Parks for the People: A Student Competition to Reimagine America’s National Parks.” In late 2013, van der Leer added to the list by unveiling “Changing Course,” a competition geared to reimagining a sustainable infrastructure for the lower Mississippi River Delta. With partners that include local leaders, a former oil company exec, scientists, engineers, and even the State of Louisiana and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the competition aims to present proposals for the 2017 version of Louisiana’s master plan. It is as complex and geographically ambitious as any project that the VAI has taken on to date. “ ‘Changing Course’ is similar in scope to ‘Rebuild by Design.’ It’s the logical next step,” says board chair Stephen Cassell, AIA, who is principal of the New York City–based firm <strong>Architect</strong>ure Research Office and a member of the competition leadership team. “Certain ideas can only be engaged at the larger scale through design and engineering.” PerhaPs the most visible change to the VAI will happen closer to home. This spring, the institute will begin construction on the redesign of its 22nd Street headquarters, located in an especially narrow, six-story office building. Collective-LOK—a collaboration between Jon Lott of Brooklyn, N.Y.–based PARA-Project; William O’Brien Jr. of Cambridge, Mass.; and Michael Kubo of Boston-based Over Under— won the competition, titled Ground/Work, that the VAI held to choose the project architects. Collective-LOK’s scheme reinvents the entire 1,620-square-foot ground-floor space, currently occupied by Van Alen Books, which opened in 2011 and was designed by LOT-EK, a firm based in New York and Naples, Italy. The redesign features a slightly curving wall of polycarbonate panels, behind which will be an array of offices (which are currently located on the fourth floor of the building), meeting rooms, and storage. The remaining space will be flexible, with lightweight translucent scrims at the ready to divide up the space for workshops, lectures, or exhibitions. Collective-LOK’s proposal includes a street seat—a mobile bench located in the parking spot in front of the building. Featuring mirrored panels, the seat plays with concepts of reflection and visibility; it simultaneously pushes programming onto the sidewalk as it conceals the storefront from passing traffic. Van der Leer jokes that in the old space, the dominant experience for visitors was waiting for the elevator. He’s optimistic that the new offices and programming spaces—the bookstore has also been folded into the redesign—will help the institution better connect to its audience at street level. Because, ultimately, what’s the point of studying the global city if you are detached from your own urban environment? CRUSHTM modulararts.com / 206.788.4210 / now with 50 designs / made in the USA
