Architect Tenders

Details: In 2024, a Contemporary Architecture Photography Campaign in Morbihan Was Led by Photographer Kourtney Roy at the Request of the Ddtm of Morbihan. It Is Planned to Publish This Work; To Do This, It Is Necessary to Supplement the Photographs with Graphic Documents and Explanatory Texts in Order to Present These Remarkable Architectures More Precisely. If Photography Indeed Makes It Easy to Present Buildings and Reach a Wide Audience, Technical and Analytical Information Are Essential to Understand and Respect the Qualities of Constructions, Whether for Visitors, Amateurs, Owners or Project Leaders. The Approach to Raising Awareness of Contemporary and Modern Architecture Does Not Aim to Protect But to Highlight and Stimulate the Desire for Architecture. The architect's approach is to respond as best as possible to today's uses and construction practices. Knowledge of architecture is a prerequisite for any proper consideration of the context, potentials and constraints, in the same way as geography or climate.

The New Work Will Be Differentiated From The Old And Will Be Compatible With The Historic Materials, Features, Size, Scale And Proportion, And Massing To Protect The Integrity Of The Property And Its Environment. The New Addition And Adjacent Or Related New Construction Will Be Undertaken In Such A Manner That, If Removed In The Future, The Essential Form And Integrity Of The Historic 1911 Property And Its Environment Would Be Unimpaired. Moreover, This Project Will Consolidate Key Programs In One Facility. By Upgrading And Consolidating Key Programs Into A Central Location Within The Main Campus, The Academy Aims To Foster A More Cohesive Academic Environment While Addressing Its Instructional Space Deficit. The Centralization Of Programs Will Reduce The Physical Fragmentation Of Departments And Encourage More Cross-disciplinary Collaboration. This Approach Aligns With Modern Educational Trends, Where Academic Institutions Are Moving Towards Flexible, Multi-purpose Spaces That Encourage Interaction And Innovation. Bringing Key Programs Together In Adequately Sized Spaces Will Not Only Optimize The Use Of Space But Also Create An Atmosphere Where Students And Faculty From Different Disciplines Can Engage In Meaningful Collaboration, Enhancing The Learning Experience. This Project Is Required To Update The Flagship Schoolhouse, Thayer Hall, As Part Of The Academic Building Upgrade Program (abup), Which Was Conceived To Address Critical Gaps In Instructional Space And Ensure That Academic Buildings Meet Both The Current And Future Needs Of The Usma's Academic Departments. Thayer Hall Will Support A Student Load Of 2,880 Students. The Project's Primary Goal Is To Reduce The Instructional Space Deficit. By Upgrading The Instructional Facilities, The Academy Seeks To Align Itself With Contemporary Educational Standards, Which Prioritize Collaborative Learning, Cross-disciplinary Interaction, And Active Engagement Between Students And Faculty. The Contract Will Require Accomplishment Of Site Investigation Work. The Contract Will Require Preparation Of Parametric Design Considered To Be 5 – 15 Percent Of The Total Design Effort.
