How did that experience influence your work?<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p><strong>EC:<\/strong>\u00a0Although FG and I share a similar interest in exploring the sculptural potential of architecture, the most invaluable lesson was the collaborative, hands-on design process. This intuitive and humanistic approach provides an altruistic value that I continue to carry out within my own practice at EC3.<\/p><p><strong>JM:\u00a0<em>Have you developed new design philosophies since the inception of EC3 in 2012 or continued to build off the foundation of your time with Gehry?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>EC:<\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em>When I was at FG, I had the liberty to design many so-called stand-alone, iconic projects such as the\u00a0<em>Guggenheim Museum<\/em>\u00a0in Bilbao and the\u00a0<em>Fondation Louis Vuitton<\/em>\u00a0in Paris. When I founded\u00a0<strong>EC3<\/strong>, I wanted to rekindle the relationship of architecture with landscape, social sciences, urbanism, and the arts. Architecture is the catalytic anecdote to building stronger communities. Our initial ground-up project<strong>, True North, <\/strong>has succeeded in doing that.<\/p><p><strong>JM: <em>Given your freedom of expression, how do you originate a new project? Is there a specific end goal in mind, or do you let the trajectory symbiotically evolve with the more profound understanding of the space?\u00a0<\/em> <\/strong><\/p><p><strong>EC<\/strong><em>:\u00a0<\/em>We do not start a project with a preconceived idea of what the project should be. I think of our design process as a \u201ccreative journey.\u201d We let the project take shape and organically unfold to arrive at its own destination. There\u2019s an old Chinese proverb that says,\u00a0<em>\u201cWhen the wind of change blows, some build walls, while others build windmills.\u201d<\/em> I believe that each new challenge brings an opportunity for change that arouses fulfilling and exciting discoveries.<\/p><p><strong>JM:\u00a0<em>How do you find the balance between functionality and esthetics?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>EC:<\/strong>\u00a0Beauty begins from the inside out, and we typically initiate our design process in the same manner. For example, when designing a museum, we always invite the curators and artists to mock up the exhibitions in our physical models to ensure that the galleries complement their artistic aspiration. The galleries in Bilbao were developed through this process to reflect\u00a0<em>Guggenheim\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>director\u00a0<strong>Thomas Krens<\/strong>\u00a0vision, and similarly, the exhibition spaces at\u00a0<em>Fondation Louis Vuitton<\/em>\u00a0responded to the design brief of its Creative Directors\u00a0<strong>Suzanne Page<\/strong> and <strong>Jean-Paul Claverie<\/strong>. <em>My role as an architect is to give form to the dreams of these visionary cultural institutions through architectural expressions.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p><strong>JM:\u00a0<em>How does art inspire your work, and is there a particular medium of art that you reference more frequently?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>EC:\u00a0<\/strong>Although I appreciate many different \u201cperiods\u201d and \u201cstyles\u201d from the Renaissance and Baroque to Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism, my passion stems from how the artistic disciplines can inform and inspire my own creative process. Recently, we\u2019ve designed a \u201c<strong>Year of the Dog\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0sculpture influenced by the Chinese Scholar Rocks. Nature has been a great source of inspiration for me, and I often look at artists who work with the natural or ephemeral phenomena like Olafur Eliasson or Pierre Huyghe.<\/p><p><strong>JM:\u00a0<em>Why do you prefer hand sketching and physical models in the digital era of design and architecture?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>EC:<\/strong>\u00a0The making of the physical models is our way of sketching in 3-D. The models are more grounded and intuitive in understanding how the creative gesture should respond to the discipline of the physical world, such as materiality and gravity; hence, working with wood and cardboard ultimately keeps the design honest.<\/p><p><strong>JM:\u00a0<\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong>Has integrating technology been a challenging learning curve, or has it been a relatively seamless process?\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p><strong>EC:\u00a0<\/strong>It turns out that our hands-on design process of using physical models and iterative prototyping has been invaluable in working with our tech-company client to interphase with their state-of-the-art technologies. To develop the concept design for\u00a0<em>Green Loop<\/em>, we constructed a full-scale mock-up at the client\u2019s Mountain View campus to help the client\u2019s team visualize the scale and aesthetics of our concept.

It\u2019s easier to gain approval and acceptance when the creative process is more personalized, inclusive and transparent.<\/p><p><strong>JM:<em>\u00a0How do you decide on finish materials?

We tend to choose materials based on how they respond to light. For example, different metals (stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, etc.) reflect the light and sky differently. Similarly, glass could be used in different transparencies to address a divergence of functional and privacy requirements. We also look at how artists transform the ordinary to turn into extraordinary artistic expressions. For the\u00a0<em>DESTE<\/em>\u00a0fashion exhibition at the\u00a0<em>Bass Museum<\/em>\u00a0in Miami, we developed the installation aesthetic by using hurricane shutters that we found in the local Home Depot.

Instead, exterior architecture should embody the aspirations and essence of the interior spaces. Our design process often involves studying and exploring the spatial relationships with color-coded massing blocks representing the various program elements. After we\u2019ve arrived at an optimal organization for the program, we begin to consider the architectural articulations of the exterior. When it comes to developing the interiors of a space, we always try to incorporate natural light and views as crucial design concepts, like the series of interconnected \u201cneighborhoods\u201d oriented to San Francisco\u2019s skyline views for a tech-company\u2019s new workspace.<\/p><p><strong>JM:\u00a0<em>When developing experiential spaces all across the globe do you find that most cultures view the work you do from a similar perspective, or do you have to run studies and acquire enough data to make sure your vision will be culturally acceptable?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>EC: <\/strong>To design a project that responds to the geographic context does not mean copying the cursory architectural style of the place. I prefer to capture and express the ethos of a place by engrossing myself in the different cultures of its visual arts, literature, music, and food. For Orchard Park in Idaho, the state\u2019s diverse ecosystems resonated with my passion for the natural environment. The sentiment behind reinventing the vernacular of the \u201cBarn\u201d as a \u201cCrystal Palace\u201d in modern-day was to showcase the products and brands integral to Idaho\u2019s outdoor lifestyle.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>JM: <em>Do\u00a0you anticipate a change in the way you interpret and develop public spaces\u00a0during these unprecedented times? <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>EC:<\/strong> I think the pandemic has made everyone appreciate the importance of having better access to fresh air, natural light, and nature.

For the Core City residential project (our second project in Detroit for the client Prince Concepts), we decided to abandon the conventional \u00abdouble-loaded corridor\u00bb typology for multi-family developments in favor of giving each unit more exposure to communal green space.

This begins with the rethinking of how we construct buildings by using sustainable materials such as CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) that could potentially reduce carbon emission by 50%. Then, we have to think about how to reduce operational costs and energy waste in the building\u2019s lifecycle which could contribute to a 30% reduction of carbon emission.
