Jeffrey Taylor and B. Alex Miller founded Taylor & Miller Architecture and Design in 2002. The Brooklyn- and Pittsfield, MA-based studio focuses “on mining materials and ideas from contexts that are most ‘accessible’, both physically and conceptually.” The studio engages deeply in the fabrication and material manipulation for every project. The firm considers “the actions that are taken to modify…materials as the real process of…architecture.” Projects discussed in this lecture include Pull House, Great Barrington, MA; Peel House in Pittsfield, MA; and the installations “Drawn” and “Version 3.0.” The firm was named by Architectural Record in 2009 to its Design Vanguard. The firm is currently writing the book, The Great American Garage, to be published by The MIT Press.
The Architectural League’s annual Emerging Voices Award spotlights North American individuals and firms with distinct design “voices” that have the potential to influence the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design. The work of each Emerging Voice represents the best of its kind, and addresses larger issues within architecture, landscape, and the built environment.
