Sinopsis
The high-rise, multistory building is a very American invention, the result of increasing land values in cities, an abundance of iron ore, and Elisha Otis’s invention—the elevator. In “The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered” from 1896, Louis Sullivan argues for an approach to high-rise buildings that combines appearance with pragmatism, architectural and architectonic qualities, and technical performance. In spring 2014, students in the High-Rise, High-Density studio designed towers for residential use in Boston, placing emphasis on the atmosphere of the building, how it is entered from the street, how a believable and comfortable set of interior spaces is created, how volumes are expressed, and facade.

Report from the spring 2014 studio, High-Rise, High-Density; instructors Jonathan Sergison and Stephen Bates. From the introduction: The high-rise, multistory building is a very American invention, the result of high land values in rapidly developing cities, an abundance of iron ore, and Elisha Otis’s invention—the elevator. These facts are known to most North Americans. In “The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered,” written in March 1896, Louis Sullivan argues for an approach to high-rise buildings that combines appearance with pragmatism, architectural and architectonic qualities, and technical performance. More than 100 years after he wrote this seminal text, we considered what it might mean to build a high-rise building. In this case, the task was to design a tower for residential rather than commercial use. The assignment was to design a high-rise, multiple-dwelling building in Boston. The exact number of apartments and the introduction of other programmatic elements emerged through the site investigation undertaken by each student in a part of the city selected. Emphasis was placed on the need to consider the atmosphere of the building, how the building is entered from the street and its relationship to the wider city, how a believable and comfortable set of interior spaces is created, how volumes are expressed, and how the façade is composed.
