Amenta Emma Architects, Hartford, Stamford, recession

HARTFORD After recessions, architects are like crocuses.

When developers, governments or nonprofits hire architects, it's what they call a leading economic indicator those contracts will result in workers in hard hats with paychecks many months or a year down the road.

Since any recession, no matter what its cause, leads to a pull back in new construction, months of sustained growth in architecture firms' billings is a concrete sign of business optimism and investment.

Bob Emma, one of the two founders of Amenta Emma Architects, said clients with vision start talking about projects two or three years ahead of when they think they can afford to build, and those conversations were happening as early as 2011 and 2012.

But Connecticut's past that now, he said. "All clients are suddenly asking: 'Can you be in the ground by June?' They recognize the market's back."

Emma said, "Everything looks very rosy for, let's say, two years."

About 30 percent of the firm's work is new buildings though roughly half of its revenue comes from these larger jobs and the rest is either interior design or additions. They are looking to hire two architectural designers with two to 10 years' experience now. Often, they find those candidates at other second-tier cities around the country, but sometimes they recruit a professional from Boston who is tired of big-city costs.

Amenta Emma has 36 employees, with eight of them in a Stamford satellite office established four years ago.

That office came about almost by accident. The firm had been doing a lobby redesign in Bridgeport, and a real estate broker suggested to the partners they should open an office in Stamford. He said the larger architecture firms in that region didn't treat these kinds of jobs as if they were important, Emma said. The Stamford office has grown from two to eight employees in four years.

A Portland architecture firm is opening a Silicon Valley office, hoping to take advantage of the footholds it's already found there.

SERA Architects has been doing Silicon Valley work for clients including Stanford and Google for five years, spokesman Kip Richardson said. Some have said they would have more work for the firm if they had a full-time presence in the Bay Area.

"Now, there's a lot of work in Portland," Richardson said. "Were looking at the long-term and trying to build a more resilient company. Having more geographic diversity is part of that."

The 110 person firm also sees an opportunity to "export" the experience of designing in Portland to Silicon Valley, where Richardson said there's a move to urbanize and address issues around housing and transportation that have cropped up as the tech companies have grown.

Principal Clark Brockman will lead the office, which is expected to grow to three to six employees this year.

FIGMENT, the Emerging New York Architects Committee (ENYA) of the American Institute of Architects New York Chapter (AIANY), and the Structural Engineers Association of New York (SEAoNY) have announced two winning designs for the 2015 City of Dream Pavilion Competition. Pending approvals and fundraising, both the Billion Oyster Pavilion by New Yorkbased BanG studio and the Organic Growth Pavilion by Madrid- and London-based Izaskun Chinchilla Architects will be assembled on Governors Island and open to the public this summer.

BanG Studios pavilion proposal incorporates the New York Harbor Schools Billion Oyster Project, which focuses on the long-term benefits of growing new oyster beds in the harbor. The pavilions base will be comprised of custom Reef Balls to create an artificial habitat for the oysters, and it will be topped with a woven canopy. After the pavilion is decommissioned at the end of the summer, the will be donated to the school and its materials will be reused on Governors Island.

The Organic Growth Pavilion proposal by Izaskun Chinchilla Architects was also inspired by nature and features recycled materials, such as broken umbrellas, old stools, and damaged bicycle wheels. The proposal draws awareness to the large amount of waste in landfills and provides solutions for recycling the pavilion after its use, such as indoor chandeliers and seasonal protection for outdoor spaces.
