Commons at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, they were significantly
influenced by both the natural and built environment. "Between April and October,
it's roasting hot and really humid," Darling says. "You're just sweating, and always
seeking shade." Looking around at the historic campus, they noticed what an
integral role loggias-or covered outdoor patios and corridors-played in the way
people made their way through the school. "They were these beautiful little places
where people gathered around the green."
Translating the traditional typology into a modern context was a matter
of acknowledging the impact of the past with an eye toward making it modern. "When
we were asked how we would address the historic nature of the campus, I said: 'If
you're asking us to do colonial columns, you're asking the wrong firm,' " Aidlin says.
"Instead, we went more primal than literal, referencing Jefferson's utilitarian spaces
and buildings with an organic material language and a very rigorous series
of proportions."
Managing-and clarifying-expectations in this way requires an adept
ability to communicate. "It's about hearing the 'blue notes,' " Darling says. "We listen
to what a client is saying, but also interpolate and interpret what they need-what
they're after," Aidlin adds.
As often as possible they tackle new typologies. Where some firms might
see inexperience in a particular field as a liability, every opportunity for Aidlin and
Darling to expand their portfolio-to restaurants, to high schools, to contemplative
centers-is also a chance to evolve their own techniques and invigorate their own
established tendencies. What started out as a humble furniture design and
sculpture studio over 20 years ago has evolved into a rigorous multidisciplinary
design studio whose architectural research and commissions have expanded
around the globe from Doha, Qatar, to Hong Kong, and throughout the country
