STUDIO ECESIS: Touring A Couple Oregon Prefab Factories

http://studioecesisblog.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-visit-to-oregon-for-prefab.html

Studio Ecesis Project Journal by Architect Michael Cobb. Thursday, January 31, 2013. Touring A Couple Oregon Prefab Factories. Several mods mocked up before shipping at the Blazer Industries Factory. Many people are speculating in this realm. There is a lot of interesting conceptual stuff and not-so-interesting "fluffy" stuff to wade through. Fidelity Builder's factory. Two modules of a three module residence. In an effort to demystify this subject. I decided to visit Kevin Allen, of Fidelity Builders.

Studio Ecesis Project Journal by Architect Michael Cobb. Monday, June 3, 2013. Arneson's California Artist: What it Means to Be a Regionalist. It is tough to be a regionalist (or simply rooted in your place) and be taken seriously by the east coast art establishment. In visiting the SFMOMA the other day I was pleased to see Arneson's "California Artist" sculpture still prominently displayed. The story. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

STUDIO ECESIS: "Z" Chair

http://studioecesisblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/new-z-chair-prototype.html

Studio Ecesis Project Journal by Architect Michael Cobb. Monday, April 16, 2012. A recent side project at Studio Ecesis has been experimenting with connecting 2x framing lumber with large tongue and groove connections to sustain rigid folded joints. The small piece featured here can work as an end table or a stool. Douglas Fir is to the California building industry what rice is to Chinese cuisine. Framing lumber, for example, can be used as a beam, a stud or a piece of blocking (see previous article.

http://studioecesisblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/bodie-lifetime-coming.html

Studio Ecesis Project Journal by Architect Michael Cobb. Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Bodie: A Lifetime Coming. In fact one could argue a misplaced obsession with architectural permanence is exactly the cause of our present economic and environmental woes. Does every drink of water really deserve its own plastic bottle? Can be seen in all its rich and improvisational variety. There are over one hundred buildings. Flattened sheet metal containers acting as battens. My childhood home was San Leandro in the Bay A...

STUDIO ECESIS: Traveling the New Bay Bridge Trail

http://studioecesisblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/traveling-bike-path-on-new-eastern-span.html

Studio Ecesis Project Journal by Architect Michael Cobb. Sunday, September 15, 2013. Traveling the New Bay Bridge Trail. The fact the pedestrian bridge comes so close, but does not touch down, on Yerba Buena Island, only heightens the removed and celestial state of this new bridge for the time being. When it goes to Yerba Buena, as its slated to do in 2014, there will a new practical element to it that will be wonderful. It will change the character of the experience completely.

STUDIO ECESIS: Steven Holl's St. Ignatius Chapel: A Celebration of Panelization and Making.

http://studioecesisblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/steven-holls-st-ignatius-chapel.html

Studio Ecesis Project Journal by Architect Michael Cobb. Friday, June 21, 2013. Steven Holl's St. Ignatius Chapel: A Celebration of Panelization and Making. Steven Holl's work has been interesting to follow over the years but I rarely had the chance to see it in the flesh. A long time ago I saw a rather uninspired institutional example of his work at the University of Virginia but I suspected it wasn't representative of the rest of his projects. Later I had the opportunity to hear him speak. He has playe...

STUDIO ECESIS: Demystifying Prefabrication

http://studioecesisblog.blogspot.com/2013/01/demystifying-prefabrication.html

Studio Ecesis Project Journal by Architect Michael Cobb. Thursday, January 31, 2013. There is a lot to be confused about with prefabricated housing in California. Let's start with the terminology itself. If you talk with Codes and Standards Administrator, Kevin Cimini at the California Department of Housing and Community Development, you'll get a good explanation. There are basically two kinds of prefabrication. A good way to remember the difference between these two color standards is that the "red" col...
