今年春天，Constance Vale Studio 被競賽選中加入為 On Olive 設計住宅的國際公司，這是圣路易斯市中心的現代住宅開發項目。這個占地 3.5 英畝的項目由 Emily Rauh Pulitzer 和 Steve Trampe 的 Owen Development 領導，總體規劃由Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO 負責。其他參與的公司包括MOS Architecture、H?weler + Yoon、Michael Maltzan Studio、Marcias Peredo、Productora Architects和Atelier Cory Henry，以及圣路易斯的 Michael Benz Architects 和Mitchell-Wall Architecture。

淡水河谷煙鏡工廠目前正與該大學麥凱爾維工程學院計算機科學副教授 Yevgeniy Vorobeychik 合作，創建一個 1:8 比例的物理測試平臺，以提高自動駕駛汽車的安全性并推測它們在城市中實施的潛在建筑影響。今年早些時候，淡水河谷為該大學 Mildred Lane Kemper 藝術博物館的教學畫廊策劃了一個相關的展覽，“移動的自主未來”。

Vale 與 Marcelo Spina 和 Georgina Huljich 是格雷厄姆基金會支持的著作“建筑中的靜音圖標和其他真實二分法”（2021 年）的編輯和合著者。Vale 于 2019 年秋季為 Sam Fox 學校開發的研討會“誘餌和描述：數字圖像”建立在這項研究的基礎上。Vale 是 2021 年秋季 MacDowell Fellowship 的獲得者，她將利用她的居住地工作，根據“誘餌和描述”中提出的想法撰寫出版物。

“通過‘誘餌和描繪’，康斯坦斯將來自全國各地的教師和學者聚集在一起，探索數字圖像作為形式生產、構建組件和發現機制的工具，為建筑師和藝術家提供社會和政治變革的新受眾，”山姆?？怂箤W院建筑學院和建筑與城市設計研究生院院長 Heather Woofter說?！斑@種嚴謹的探究和多學科的精神體現了康斯坦斯的工作，它與我們的建筑學本科生完美契合——充滿希望、精力充沛并致力于人性化設計的未來?！?/span>

Constance Vale has been named chair of undergraduate architecture at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. Vale, who joined the Sam Fox School as an assistant professor in 2017, previously taught at SCI-Arc and the University of California, Los Angeles. She is a licensed architect and director of the architectural practice Constance Vale Studio as well as the experimental research office The Factory of Smoke & Mirrors.

?

“In research, practice, and teaching, Constance investigates how our aesthetic and conceptual approaches shape and reshape the ways we see the world,” said Carmon Colangelo, the Ralph J. Nagel Dean of the Sam Fox School. “An exemplary collaborator, her work inhabits the space between architecture, art, theater and emerging technology. We are extremely proud to welcome her to this leadership role.” Vale succeeds Igor Marjanovi?, who recently was appointed the William Ward Watkin Dean of Rice Architecture at Rice University.

?

Vale earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts in 2007 from Parsons School of Design and a master’s in architecture in 2014 from the Yale School of Architecture. Before launching her own studio, Vale practiced at EDGE Studio in Pittsburgh and Ennead Architecture in New York. In 2015, she collaborated with Emmett Zeifman to complete a temporary pavilion in downtown Los Angeles for the experimental opera “Hopscotch.”

?

This spring, Constance Vale Studio was selected by competition to join an international array of firms designing residences for On Olive, the contemporary housing development in midtown St. Louis. The 3.5-acre project is led by Emily Rauh Pulitzer and by Steve Trampe’s Owen Development, with a master plan by Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO. Other participating firms include MOS Architecture, H?weler + Yoon, Michael Maltzan Studio, Marcias Peredo, Productora Architects, and Atelier Cory Henry, as well as St. Louis’ Michael Benz Architects and Mitchell-Wall Architecture.

?

Vale’s Factory of Smoke & Mirrors currently is collaborating with Yevgeniy Vorobeychik, associate professor of computer science at the university’s McKelvey School of Engineering, to create a 1:8 scale physical-testing platform for improving the safety of self-driving vehicles and speculating on the potential architectural impact of their implementation in cities. Earlier this year, Vale curated a related exhibition, “The Autonomous Future of Mobility,” for the Teaching Gallery at the university’s Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum.

?

Vale is editor and co-author, with Marcelo Spina and Georgina Huljich, of the Graham Foundation-supported book “Mute Icons & Other Dichotomies of the Real in Architecture” (2021). The symposium “Decoys and Depictions: Images of the Digital,” which Vale developed for the Sam Fox School in Fall 2019, built upon this research. Vale is the recipient of a Fall 2021 MacDowell Fellowship, and will be using her residency to work on a publication drawing on the ideas developed in “Decoys and Depictions.”

?

“With ‘Decoys and Depictions,’ Constance brought together faculty and scholars from across the country to explore digital images as vehicles for the production of form, building components and mechanisms of discovery that provide architects and artists new audiences for social and political change,” said Heather Woofter, director of the Sam Fox School’s College of Architecture and Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design. “That rigor of inquiry and multidisciplinary ethos exemplify Constance’s work, which beautifully aligns with our undergraduate architecture students — hopeful, energetic and committed to humane design futures.”

?

Vale’s work has been exhibited at the A+D Museum, The Sheldon Art Galleries, and the Farrell Learning & Teaching Center, among others. Her work has been published in The Journal of the American Institute of Architects, the Los Angeles Times, Archinect, and CLOG.
