Lawrence Kim / A+U Lab
Architecture and Urbanism Laboratory
A+U LAB is a design collective and collaborative practice for architecture and urbanism. Led by Lawrence Kim, AIA, LEED AP, A+U LAB engages in diverse projects through design consultancy and research working regionally and internationally. We approach design at multi-scalar levels studying the issues arising within and at the intersection of architecture and urbanism. Architecture is examined as a cultural, social, and spatial discipline addressing the programmatic and contextual issues, and urbanism is examined as the study of how inhabitants of cities interact with the built environment. Urban design, a direct component of urbanism, moves beyond the study of urban spaces as the practice that actively shapes the urban areas and the city with systems of strategies and interventions that integrate people with the built environment. A+U LAB sees design as the means to envision a better-built environment and to initiate great transformation. We emphasize research-based design and strive to produce innovative works that are grounded in meaningful and lasting ideals.

Silvia Acosta
Professor RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN
Silvia Acosta is an architect, artist, and professor of architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design. Based between Providence and Miami, her work maintains linkages between architecture and the arts. It is dedicated to the craft of making, whether at the scale of composing material artifacts or through design-build explorations with her students. Her path through the creative process is informed by the intelligence of the hands and the role of imagination as a generator of ideas to be enacted.
Supporting the uniqueness of personal ingenuity forming architectural work, Acosta is also interested in participating in collaborative projects. As much as architecture comes from individual creativity, it is often a collective effort; in the best of situations, its beauty comes through in the inclusion of humanistic values, both in its making and its offerings. Her approach to architectural practice is founded on two beliefs—joint endeavors outweigh work conceived from a single point of view, and architecture is made and then given away. No matter who sponsors it, architecture is in the world and for the world. These opportunities to make contributions are about observing, listening, and doing. They are also about responding with a sense of obligation towards humanitarian concerns. Acosta has taught at several institutions including Harvard, Yale, University of Miami, Boston Architectural Center, China Academy of Art, Nagoya University, Monash University, Curtin University of Technology, and Equinoctial Technological University.

Dr Morten Gjerde
Head of School School of Architecture
Assoc.Arts(Architecture) , B.Arch(Hons) , PGCert(Urban Planning) , M.Research(Urban Design)Dist, PhD in Architecture.My teaching and research reflect my background as a practicing architect and urban designer.From this perspective I view the built environment holistically, across space and time. Details and discrete development projects should connect with and reinforce ideas at progressively larger scales, up to that of the city. In this area of my work I am concerned with the way individual projects, often undertaken by private interests, can be managed to meet the needs of the project sponsor as well as to contribute to wider social aims. Included in these wider aims are those associated with streetscape appearances and aesthetics.

Sven-Shockey
VICE PRESIDENT, CORPORATE DESIGN DIRECTOR
“Architecture really is a multi-headed beast,” states Sven, and he means that in a good way. “It’s why I went into the field. I like that each project has untapped potential. But I did not anticipate that I would be working on so many different types and scales of projects, which I really enjoy.” As one of SmithGroup’s corporate design directors, Sven has led the design of a variety of mixed-use, commercial, planning and institutional projects from Washington, DC to India. Perhaps endless untapped potential is what draws Sven to music, too. He plays and listens to music as a creative outlet and, if not for architecture, would have pursued a career in sound design. He even has a desire to master the oud, an obscure pear-shaped stringed instrument with origins in the Mideast and North Africa. Other cultures clearly pique his interest: If he could go anywhere in the world, “I would take a private train across China with my family, with tours, hiking, and feasting along the way.”
