We were proud to assist in the conversion of an anonymous 4th Street industrial building into her teaching kitchen and store, which she calls The Still Room. The project differs from an ordinary commercial kitchen especially in its emphasis on natural light, which is used to judge the progress of the fruit. photography via Lucy's Whey http://www.rachelallen.net/Terminal http://www.rachelallen.net/following/rachelallen.net/Terminal Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:01:53 +0000 Rachel Allen Architecture 2305656 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2305656/LS_land_pan_72dpi.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="267" width_o="670" height_o="267" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2305656/LS_land_pan_72dpi_o.jpg" align="left" /> RAA provided preliminary Executive Architecture services on a land art project by Christoph Büchel. http://www.rachelallen.net/City-for-Archaeologists http://www.rachelallen.net/following/rachelallen.net/City-for-Archaeologists Mon, 14 Nov 2011 23:51:11 +0000 Rachel Allen Architecture 2305915 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2305915/pompeii1.jpg" border="0" width="471" height="600" width_o="471" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2305915/pompeii1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2305915/pompeii2.jpg" border="0" width="515" height="600" width_o="515" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2305915/pompeii2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2305915/pompeii3.jpg" border="0" width="463" height="600" width_o="463" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2305915/pompeii3_o.jpg" align="left" /> Proposal for a floating city above Pompeii, or any other archaeological excavation.

Over 45 projects and performance events made a memorable impact on the neighborhood. Like the caricaturists who draw cartoon portraits of tourists in public - but instead of drawing faces, RA drew buildings. For 15 minute sessions she worked with whoever was interested to create a collaborative drawing of their imaginary ideal living environment, their Dream House. http://www.rachelallen.net/Silver-Lake-Design-Competition http://www.rachelallen.net/following/rachelallen.net/Silver-Lake-Design-Competition Wed, 09 Nov 2011 23:36:28 +0000 Rachel Allen Architecture 2281656 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281656/sanborn3.jpg" border="0" width="660" height="396" width_o="660" height_o="396" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281656/sanborn3_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281656/GROUP_SJ_boards_final_Page_1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="517" width_o="1500" height_o="1159" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281656/GROUP_SJ_boards_final_Page_1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281656/GROUP_SJ_boards_final_Page_2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="531" width_o="1500" height_o="1190" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281656/GROUP_SJ_boards_final_Page_2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281656/GROUP_SJ_boards_final_Page_3.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="531" width_o="1500" height_o="1190" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281656/GROUP_SJ_boards_final_Page_3_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281656/GROUP_SJ_boards_final_Page_4.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="517" width_o="1500" height_o="1159" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281656/GROUP_SJ_boards_final_Page_4_o.jpg" align="left" /> GROUP EFFORT was a collaboration between RAA, Liz Anderson and Kimberly Varella of the Department of Graphic Sciences, Allen Compton of SALT, and Dave King of DTK Builders.

We proposed to spend the entire budget on a single, very large California sycamore, and to convert the existing intersection to an all-cross, diagonal pedestrian operation. http://www.rachelallen.net/The-Stata-Center-with-GP-LLP http://www.rachelallen.net/following/rachelallen.net/The-Stata-Center-with-GP-LLP Wed, 09 Nov 2011 23:06:46 +0000 Rachel Allen Architecture 2281504 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281504/DSCN2188.JPG" border="0" width="399" height="532" width_o="399" height_o="532" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281504/DSCN2188_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281504/DSCN2213.JPG" border="0" width="399" height="532" width_o="399" height_o="532" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281504/DSCN2213_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281504/DSCN2224.JPG" border="0" width="399" height="532" width_o="399" height_o="532" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281504/DSCN2224_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281504/DSCN2203.JPG" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="709" height_o="532" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281504/DSCN2203_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281504/DSCN2220.JPG" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="709" height_o="532" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281504/DSCN2220_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281504/DSCN2216.JPG" border="0" width="380" height="532" width_o="380" height_o="532" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/5/161823/2281504/DSCN2216_o.JPG" align="left" /> THE RAY AND MARIA STATA CENTER AT MIT ASSISTANT PROJECT DESIGNER, GEHRY PARTNERS This 400,000 square building for the Computer Sciences opened in the spring of 2004, and was published widely.
