Architectural Record 20040801 By using thoughtfully designed elements...buildings can be produced in less time and at less cost while remaining true to good design and the needs of the space. Civil Engineering 20040401 Excerpts from Get Smart section of magazine by Barbara Flanagan Implacable sculpture made by ancient methods is no way to build now, say architects Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake...the partners claim that a new industrial revolution ought to transform the way buildings are planned, designed, constructed, and operated. In short, they want to redesign design. Why do ships, cars, planes, and spaceships keep getting better, while buildings don't budge? Part of the problem is that architects don't fully exploit transfer technologies -- that is they don't mine fields outside their niche.

The project, resembling gift-wrapped scaffolding, showcased a first-generation prototype of a potential building material that absorbs energy and then uses it to heat, cool, light, decorate, and communicate. ... ...the firm's proudest achievement is the new addition to Penn's engineering school. Their plot to undermine architecture emerges in their new book refabricating Architecture. I.D.
