As a practicing architect, his commissions have included private homes, schools, public structures, and the winning entry, "The Fremont Troll," in the Hall of Giants 1990 Competition in Seattle, Washington. Badanes is a founder of Jersey Devil (www.jerseydevildesignbuild.com) an architectural firm perpetuating the tradition of medieval craftsmen. The firm is comprised of skilled craftsmen, architects, inventors, and artists "committed to the interdependence of building and design." Jersey Devil architects/builders live on-site during construction of their designs, which are known for energy efficiency and innovative use of materials. Badanes has lectured on Jersey Devil's work at over 100 universities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe. Their work has been the subject of two books: The Jersey Devil Design/Build Book (1985) and Devil's Workshop: 25 Years of Jersey Devil Architecture (1997). At the University of Washington, Badanes holds the Howard Wright Endowed Chair and leads design/build studios that have focused on community service projects for non-profit organizations in the Seattle area. He co-founded the Design/Build Mexico program, which won an AIA Education Honor Award in 1997. The Neighborhood Design Build studio won one in 2005 and an NCARB Prize in 2004(http://online.caup.washington.edu/courses/hswdesignbuild/) .Badanes was awarded an ACSA Distinguished Professor Award in 2002 and the Passive Solar Pioneer Award from the American Solar Energy Association in 2005. In summer he teaches at the Yestermorrow Design build school in Vermont. For more information on Steve Badanes, please visit http://www.jerseydevildesignbuild.com/ or http://depts.washington.edu/archdept/welcome_arch/faculty_bios/bio_badanes_s.html Residency StatementThe workshop is a combination scavenger hunt, detective field work and applied building technology research. We will look briefly at traditional building materials and components and locate locally available alternatives which are more economical and environmentally responsible with the goal of compiling an "Alternative Lumber Yard." Workshop participants will design and make one or more independent pieces and, if there is enough group motivation and consensus we will attempt to build a bigger group project. I'm flexible as to what happens during the residency. If the direction needs to change as opportunities present themselves, that would definitely be possible.
