Please join us on March 31 for the opening of the Buoyant Ecologies exhibition at the Autodesk Gallery in San Francisco. The exhibition displays the work by students from the fall 2014 CCA Architecture Integrated Studio taught by faculty Adam Marcus, Margaret Ikeda, and Evan Jones. The studio explored speculative proposals for a floating expansion of Autodesk's state-of-the-art Pier 9 Workshop along San Francisco's Embarcadero waterfront. The opening event included short talks by CCA Dean of Architecture Jonathan Massey, project leaders Marcus/Ikeda/Jones, Noah Weinstein and J. Sassaman of Autodesk, ecology research partner John Oliver of Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, and fabrication research partner Bill Kreysler of Kreysler & Associates.
