NEUTRA GLEN RESIDENCE: RESTORATION / RENOVATION
JUROR COMMENTS;
This project is not a restoration, but a renovation that enters into a dialogue with the original Neutra House. It respects Neutra’s detailing but inserts its own minimalist detailing where appropriate. It is lovely to see work performed by an architect who revered details as Neutra did. For a landmark project like this, the owner and architect have to have a common vision; the new work done exemplified that relationship and takes neutral into the 21st Centrury. A wonderful procession from pavilion to pavilion. It’s a success story of what the architect “did not do”.
NEW CANAAN TOWNHOUSE: SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROJECT
JUROR COMMENTS:
This project has exquisite detail; the architect knows how to use materials. Volumetrically it is a hybrid, producing views from the inside of the house back to the outside., establishing a relationship between inside and out and making the inside interesting. On this very narrow, small lot, the architects found a way to form protection on the sides of the house. On the inside there is a certain crispness to detailing. The house almost has a human quality to it- with the outside “aggressive” and the inside open and generous. The interior is skillfully detailed even down to the window sills: the joining of materials is done well.

AIA CRAN – 2012 Symposium, Newport, September
Joeb Moore will give a lecture in Newport, RI symposium on the “uses and abuses of history in modern and classical architecture.” |
STONINGTON > CTBuilt during WWII, the Stonington Residence was an early work of architect John Lincoln. Joeb + Partners is currently restoring and renovating the existing building. Due to the nature of the materials and construction methods used on the original building including a granite wall that runs through the center of the house, the design and construction of the new work has become akin to an archeological investigation.

EMERGING ARTIST:
Sarah Oppenheimer
Oppenheimer’s work typically uses architectural interventions to examine how we perceive space. Her installations often create disorienting or puzzling illusions that lead the viewer to question what s/he thought they knew about their position or orientation within a building. 
 
BLUE YEAR:
This year Joeb Moore & Partners feature color is Klein Blue. For reference, Yves Klein appropriated and ritualized the color blue to the point that he created and named the blue “Klein Blue.” This infatuation with Blue began when he was a boy. While playing with his friends each appropriated a color of the world. Klein chose the sky as his base element and conceptual primitive. He never let go of it. It was the trigger for his artwork for the rest of his life.
Blue and the theory of impregnation towards the immaterial, Klein presented eleven canvasses, although identical, were not appreciated equally by the public, and subsequently were sold differently. Thereafter, Klein concluded that each painting, as well as its material reality, was impregnated with an immaterial quality that made it distinct from the others.
Untitled Blue Sponge Relief, 1960
In the continuation of his work on pictorial space, Klein turned his attention to space itself, in other words the void, as specified in his theory of impregnation.
This work, leap into the void, was a dedication to his exploration of the void.
So Klein really did jump, thus experimenting and impregnating himself with the immaterial qualities of the void, so that he could transmit them to his artworks.
Saut dans le vide, October 1960
Klein created Anthropometries in which he recorded the body’s physical energy, using nude models who Klein called “living brushes”.
Anthropometrie sans titre, 1960
Apparently, Smurfs are big in Switzerland.
These guys were found in the storefront of a famous architecture firm. True story.
