Oklahoma State University School of Architecture
invites you to the upcoming lecture with:

BRAD CLOEPFIL
of Allied Works Architecture

at 5:00 p.m.
in the Jack and Carol Corgan Auditorium
Stillwater, Oklahoma

Reception follows the lecture

Allied Works Architecture is a 40-person practice led by Brad Cloepfil from offices in Portland, Oregon, and New York City. Guided by principles of craft and innovation, Allied Works creates designs that resonate with their specificity of place and purpose. The firm's practice is grounded in the belief that architecture provides meaningful new insight into its surrounding physical and ideological landscapes. Using a research-based approach, Allied Works distills the elemental principles that drive each of their projects and transforms these into material, shape, and structure-architectural designs that engage public imagination and amplify a city's cultural legacy.
 
Founded in 1994, Allied Works is widely recognized for its cultural projects, among them the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver, Colorado, which has been acclaimed for its nuanced approach to light and space in showcasing the creative vision of a single artist. Additional prominent arts and educational projects include the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis; the Museum of Arts and Design in New York; Seattle Art Museum; the University of Michigan Museum of Art; Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in the Dallas Arts District; and the Schnitzer Center for Art and Design at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon.
 
Allied Works has also designed and completed private residences, offices, and creative workspaces, such its design for Wieden + Kennedy Agency, which radically transformed an historic warehouse in Portland's Pearl District into a world headquarters that has become a benchmark for adaptive reuse and workplace architecture; the Dutchess County Estate in Stanfordville, New York; and Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, California.

Clare Olsen and Sinead MacNamara

at 5:00 p.m.
in the Jack and Carol Corgan Auditorium
Stillwater, Oklahoma

Clare and Sinead are faculty at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Syracuse University respectively, and they have recently authored a book entitled 'Collaborations in Architecture and Engineering,'which includes in-depth case studies of cross-disciplinary collaborations and an overview of the tools and methods for successful partnerships in both the academic and professional realms. This focus on collaboration will be the subject of their lecture.
 
Clare J. Olsen, of California Polytechnic State University,  San Luis Obispo,  holds a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies from Brown University and a Masters of Architecture with distinction from the University of California, Los Angeles. She has taught at Tulane University, Cornell University and Syracuse University. Clare also runs her own practice, C.O.CO., where she investigates systems thinking on an installation scale.
 
Sinéad Mac Namara, of Syracuse University, teaches structural engineering courses for the School of Architecture, mechanics courses for the College of Engineering, and electives for both schools. Her research focuses on: innovation and creativity in structural engineering education; structural art; and the structural performance of shell structures. Prior to joining the Syracuse Faculty in 2006, Mac Namara's Ph.D. thesis at Princeton examined the shell behavior of domed roofs in nuclear containment structures. While there she served as an Assistant in Instruction for Prof. David Billington in a series of noted innovative courses that focused on the role of engineering in society and the urban and regional environment. In 2005, she won the Princeton E-Council Award for Teaching Excellence, in 2011, she won Best Presentation at the Architectural Engineering Division of the American Society for Engineering Education at the Annual Conference and Exposition, and in March 2011 she received the Meredith Teaching Recognition award at SU.
