new studio space @ S/U/M
S/U/M is very excited to announce the ground-up construction of our new office/shop space is now complete and operational!
A special thank you to all of our (patient) clients, families, friends, and partners who have helped out through this transitional time of expansion and hope all of you feel welcome to visit and occupy the space freely.
More pics and details of the new space will be posted in the coming days.
leafscape
Our proposal was selected as the winning entry for a public arts competition sponsored by the Alameda Arts commission for the new Castro Valley public library.
The inspiration for this permanent installation borrows from botanical growth patterns in nature. The installation is comprised of over 600 modulating “leaf” units that find structure in pairs. The material used in this installation are sheets of flexible polypropylene. Each side of the leaf pairs are asymmetrical in geometry that cause the leaves to undulate in particular patterns. Collectively, the leaf surface functions as a light collector: mixing natural and artificial light between its folds.
It is intended that the color palate of the installation be easily interchanged.

SENSATE: BODIES AND DESIGN-
design / fabrication of the relief wall graphic for the exhibition.
“From August 7, 2009 through November 8, 2009, SFMOMA will present Sensate: Bodies and Design, an exhibition of works by architects, designers and artists that represent new ways of thinking about the entanglement of human bodies and the designed world. Mutant bodies, fictional bodies, animate architecture: these are among the show’s provocations as it offers evidence of a lively contemporary debate about what bodies are and how they might be mirrored and met by design..”
