PAR EXHIBITS

DURING SPRING 2013 OUR WORK CAN BE EXPERIENCED IN SIX BROAD RANGING EXHIBITIONS. WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO VISIT AND GAIN INSIGHT INTO THE APPROACH AND PROCESS BEHIND PAR's ARCHITECTURE.

 

PAR exhibited Extreme Ocularity at the ACSA 101 New Constellations New Ecology Conference. Developed in collaboration with ARUP, the presentation revealed our approach to designing a high performance facade for a zero carbon building in the challenging Helsinki climate.

For a second year in a row, PAR has won a National Emerging Architecture Award from the American Institute of Architects. We are currently taking part in the annual awards exhibition which promotes compelling work of the rising generation of American architects. The exhibition opened on March 20th at the 
American Center for Architecture. 

 

Our Helsinki Library proposal has won an AIA New York 2013 Merit Award for its "scenographic magnificence that is technically and environmentally convincing" according to AIA jury. We are thrilled to be part of the 2013 Design Awards Exhibition which honors the architects, clients, and consultants who work together to achieve design excellence.

PAR's finalist proposal for the 120.000 m2 Keelung Harbor Gateway is up for it's third exhibition in D3 Unbuilt Visions. D3 promotes critical architectural debate by acknowledging excellence in speculative projects. The exhibit provides an opportunity to engage with architecture at the conceptual stage - recognizing work that offers a critical contribution to worldwide architectural discourse.

SCIARC 40/40 Installation   Los Angeles, US     April 20 - May 12, 2013

Several PAR projects will be part of the upcoming SCIARC 40/40 Installation. The event celebrates SCI-ARC's original 40 founding students and the school's 40 years of operation, while at the same time honoring the work of alumni that have since passed through the school. Come celebrate 40 years of experimentation and innovation!

 

Antiquities Museum Exhibition   Athens, Greece    March 28 - April 9, 2013

In Athens, we developed together with ARUP, the adaptation of a former grain silo into a 14.000 m2 Museum of Underwater Antiquities. Conceived through a spatial inversion, a system of void spaces introduces daylight to public areas whilst engaging the surrounding urban context. The proposal is on exhibit at the Petrini Warehouse at Coast Vasiliadi thru May 31st.
