ARC Sports Report
05.22.13 / Jonathan Quinn
Recently ARC finished up our 4th and most successful season in the Architects Volleyball League of Boston. After a very up and down regular season, where we barely made the playoffs, ARC was able to make a playoff run all the way to the semi-finals. We defeated the #6 seed in the first round and the #3 seed in the second round before losing to the #2 seed in the semi-finals. It should be noted that the team that beat us went on to ultimately win the League Championship. Although we did not win the championship (this year) a lot of fun was read more »
The Talent of Face Swapping
05.16.13 / Danielle Fontaine
When I sat down to come up with my first blog entry I was confronted with endless topics to write about and was having trouble deciding on which one to pick. As I sat at my desk, I looked around the Studio for inspiration. My eyes glanced around the room at the various models and presentation boards for projects and settled on a poster high up on one of the shelves which made me smile…I knew what I would write about. read more »
ARC is pleased to announce the completion of the UMass Medical School Albert Sherman Center!
05.09.13 / Jeff Johnson, AIA, LEED AP
If a project can have a one-word descriptor, for the Albert Sherman Center that descriptor would be “collaboration” on two different fronts. First, the 512,000 SF building was designed to foster interaction and collaboration among scientists and promote innovation and synergies across disciplines on the UMass Medical School campus in Worcester. The kind of collaboration that finds cures and saves lives. But there was another kind of collaboration quietly taking place over the past four years, as well. At the dedication ceremony for the building, Chancellor Michael Collins, M.D. read more »

Methods of Making
04.10.13 / Douglas Shilo, LEED AP
I recently had lunch with Mark Diethelm, an architectural designer at ARC, to discuss a rumor that has been going around the office. Rumor has it – Mark paints. Not with Photoshop. Not with an iPad. We’re talking horse hair, oil, and an easel!
I decided to sit down with Mark and ask him a few questions:
In a world dominated by technology, you choose to use your hands to create. Why would you do that? read more »

Getting to Know an ARCer (Episode 3)

How much do you really know about your fellow co-workers? Sure, you probably know what project they’re working on and maybe you know how they commute into work each day. But what about their favorite album? Or where they grew up? Or (more importantly) if they prefer bagels or donuts? Each ARCer is different and here is a quick profile of one of them.

Chancellor Michael Collins, MD personally escorted Governor Deval Patrick through the Albert Sherman Center prior to yesterday’s dedication and ribbon cutting, and the Governor repeatedly expressed his respect and admiration for the building. We were thrilled! Bryan Thorp and Mark Dolny checked in from the UMass Medical Campus after the formal event, which they describe as very festive, indeed.

Last month ARC participated in the annual Canstruction event held at the new space for the Boston Society of Architects. Some of you may be asking “What is Cantsruction?” Canstruction is a national nonprofit organization that holds annual design/ build competitions to construct fun and creative large-scale structures made out of canned foods. During the competition, the creations go on display as public art exhibits. When the displays are taken down, the food used in the structures is donated to local food banks. read more »

How Do You Communicate Professional Presence?

Studio 101
10.19.12 / Jennifer Plume
When I first decided to pursue a career in architecture, I vastly underestimated what goes into the making of an architect. The years of schooling, hours of training, and rigorous exams represent only a small portion of the information, skills, and sheer work effort required to ‘make it’ in a field where experience is key. The proof is in the profession; most architects don’t hit their stride until well into middle age. read more »
Fall Dedication Weekend
10.12.12 / Emmy Yamaguchi
Most of our academic clients follow a construction schedule that gets the busiest while the students and faculty leave for summer vacation. This is so the project can be completed in time for the start of the fall semester and ARC successfully met this schedule for three exciting projects at three New England independent schools. It just so happened they all decided to hold their dedication ceremonies on the same weekend!

Beyond What the Eye Beholds
10.05.12 / Alex Matthews, LEED AP BD+C
I generally think of photography as a documentary, or sometimes editorial medium, attempting to capture solely what the eye beholds. However, as with other arts, sometimes we find something in the process of creation which changes our expectations, and yields a more compelling result. The era of digital photography has widened such horizons dramatically, and made experimentation widely available, instead of being limited to the selected few with access to a darkroom. read more »
(Re)presenting Dimensions
09.26.12 / Douglas Shilo, LEED AP BD+C
As human beings, we can perceive three dimensions of space, and another dimension we call time. Architects are tasked with communicating complex ideas, and are limited to these four dimensions. Rapid technological development has led to new requirements for buildings and architects alike. Thus, as buildings become more complex, we find ourselves revisiting familiar dimensions for novel methods of representation. read more »
Baby Scientist Tests Spatial Concepts
09.19.12 / Sarah Walker, AIA, LEED AP
Like many children, I don’t remember any formal instruction related to architecture. Surely, I must have been awed by my first visit to a major monument or grand building, but I can’t recollect having any official training regarding how those forms and spaces were conceived, let alone having the sophisticated vocabulary to describe them. I do, however, vividly remember mapping and creating the most grand and elaborate forts. In the warmer weather, they were made of sheets, chairs, clothespins and cardboard boxes. In colder weather, many snowy days were sp read more »

Thank You, Co-Op
08.29.12 / Katherine Murphy
I graduated in May and have been thrown out into the “real world” with the rest of my classmates to deal with finding a job, deciding where to live, and coming to terms with the insane number of loans that I will be paying back (for what seems to be the rest of my life). My coping method: go back to school to get my MArch and put all that off for a little bit longer. read more »
Raising Chicago
08.23.12 / Christopher Angelakis, AIA, LEED AP
It was a crime really. I have been an architect for over twenty years, if you count the five years I was in school, and most people could not believe that I had never been to Chicago. It certainly was not that I did not want to go, it was just one of those things that I talked about over and over again but somehow some other priority kept me from making the trip. To my pleasure, my wife and I finally made it to Chicago earlier this summer. This could be a post about soaring architecture, incredible urban spaces, energetic neighborhoods, or about how the read more »
From Rendering to Reality: UMass Albert Sherman Center - Project Update
08.16.12 / Jonathan Quinn, LEED AP
Throughout the design process we here at ARC, like many firms, produce detailed renderings to illustrate how we envision the end result of a project. As we are nearing the final stretch of construction of the new 512,000 SF Albert Sherman Center, I thought it would be interesting to give a project update by comparing our renderings with the current construction photos. It is exciting to see the project coming to life!

The Skinny on Thin Brick

In 1994, ARC designed the expansion of Boston College’s Alumni Stadium from an original 32,000 seat occupancy to its current 44,500 seat capacity. Since then, we have worked with BC on several projects in and around the stadium, as their NCAA Division I athletic program has grown. The latest project involves the replacement of the artificial turf playing surface and installation of a new masonry wall around the field. This wall will replace the aging metal panel skirting that is currently hung from the front of t read more »

Understanding the True FIRST Cost of VCT/BBT Before Accepting it as a VE Item
06.28.12 / Meghann Van Dorn
I think almost every architect and designer has been through it: you specify linoleum/marmoleum (a resilient green flooring product made of natural materials) on a project only to see it on the VE (value engineering) list shortly thereafter. Looking at the savings listed by the contractor, it’s hard to argue…At first glance, it looks like making the switch from something like MCT (marmoleum composition tile) to VCT (vinyl composition tile) or BBT (bio-based tile) would mean a substantial savings. read more »
Chalk One Up

When was the last time you pulled out some chalk and drew on the ground? Ten, twenty, thirty years ago? Getting messy with chalk on our faces, hands, clothing and reveling in creating temporary artwork for passersby was how four of us from ARC spent our Tuesday afternoon.

You may have seen these colorful trucks selling their tasty wares on the sidewalk behind Kendall Square T station. Offering new options over and above the typical hot dog and pretzel fare, these pop-up food vendors are revitalizing the previously ‘underused’ sections of the city. Patrons can find a variety of gourmet delights from Vietnamese pho to locally-sourced vegan sandwich goodies. read more »
Global Village Thrills
06.08.12 / Christopher Angelakis, AIA, LEED AP
As designers of buildings and urban spaces, we often try to look into the crystal ball of the future to anticipate the possible uses. At RIT we saw Global Village Plaza as a space that was a crossroads, a gathering place, a concert hall, a place to share a meal, a place to temporarily call home. Not only does it feel good that this plaza has lived up to those expectations, but that a space like this can open itself up to a whole spectrum of unforeseen uses. For just one example of the joys of the unknown, click on the image link below: read more »

Process-ion
04.26.12 / Christopher Angelakis, AIA, LEED AP
I started my path to architecture with a T-Square and a hand-me-down set of Rotring pens, some templates, and a pretty handy compass which I still keep in my desk drawer for some unfathomable reason. During my five years of architectural school between 1990 and 1995 I was brought along in baby steps from pencil and parallel rule, to pen on Mylar, to AutocadR10 and an ungodly pen plotter, and ultimately to an experimental software called AES that tried to generate architectural drawings based on three dimensional models. read more »
