Sparano + Mooney Architecture in THE PLAN no.122

One of Sparano + Mooney Architecture’s favorite international architectural publications, The Plan based out of Bologna, Italy did an in-depth feature of our studio’s design process in their most recent edition published this week. Written by architecture and design critic, Michael Webb (Architect’s Houses, Moving Around: A Lifetime of Wandering, and many others), the article titled “Interpreting the Context to Create Striking Architecture” explores the studio’s interest in design, process, site-specificity, and the unique context of the American West.

COVID-19, Design, and How We Are Dealing With It

At the very start of this year, only a mere three months ago, we don’t think there could have been any way to anticipate just how drastically things have changed globally due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As our staff have begun working remotely we have encountered some challenges, but also opportunities to rethink how we work as individuals and as a team.

Exhibition Highlight: Imagining UMOCA

We are pleased to announce the opening of an exciting new exhibition titled Imagining UMOCA, which will be on display at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art from January 24 - April 15, 2017.

Led by our own Anne Mooney in the Senior Design Studio course at the University of Utah's School of Architecture, students imagined possibilities for expanding the museum to serve its diverse and growing audience. They began by researching contemporary artists, and then developed their analyses into 3-dimensional designs for one of three downtown sites, attempting to capture the essence of the artist they selected in their proposals. These final concepts by six students will be exhibited in the museum's Ed Space Gallery. The concepts meet UMOCA's programmatic and functional requirements, while also creating a spatial experience that unfolds gradually for the visitor and engages both body and mind.
