About US

MARC FORNES, registered and practicing Architect DPLG, leads THEVERYMANY, a New York-based studio specializing in large-scale, site-specific structures that unify skin, support, form, and experience into a single system. Over the last ten years, Marc has designed and built a number of organic, thin-shell constructions that push the limits of form, structure, and space. This body of work is situated between the fields of art and architecture, with particular focus in the realm of public art. Each public artwork aims to provide a unique spatial experience for its visitors, while also contributing to the visual identity of a place and catalyzing community engagement. This practice is propelled by Marc’s expertise in computational design. THEVERYMANY represents a body of research that continues to advance new parametric outcomes and implement complex techniques in architecture and beyond. Each project evolves previous inquiries, and further investigates design though codes and computational protocols, addressing new ways to describe complex curvilinear self-supported surfaces into series of flat elements for efficient fabrication. Some of these prototypical architectures have acquired and displayed by institutions and galleries including the Centre Pompidou (Paris), where Y/STRUC/SURF is part of the permanent collection, the FRAC Centre (Orleans, FR), and the Storefront for Art and Architecture (New York). Marc has also exhibited at the Guggenheim, GGG Art Basel Miami, Art Paris and sold at auction at Phillips De Pury. Marc has shared his research as a TED fellow, in public lectures and through academic appointments, artist residencies and workshops. With Francois Roche, he co-founded “(n)Certainties,” a graduate studio at Columbia University with visiting semesters at the University of Southern California and at Die Angewandte in Vienna. He has taught at University of Michigan, Princeton and Harvard GSD with Patrik Schumacher. In 2007 Marc designed and launched www.scriptedbypurpose.net, the first exhibition exclusively focusing on scripted processes within design, curated for the European section at the 2008 Architecture Biennale in Beijing. Marc’s professional experience in the UK, US and France include SOM, Ross Lovegrove and ZAHA HADID Architects. At ZHA, Marc was project architect for an experimental Mediatheque in Pau, France. He directed extensive material research and geometrical development for what would have been the largest self-supported carbon fiber shell to date.

MARC FORNES，注册和执业建筑师DPLG，领导THEVERYMANY，一个位于纽约的工作室，专门从事大型、特定地点的结构，将皮肤、支持、形式和体验统一到一个系统中。在过去的十年里，马克设计并建造了许多有机的薄壳结构，挑战了形式、结构和空间的极限。这批作品位于艺术和建筑领域之间，特别关注公共艺术领域。每件公共艺术作品都旨在为参观者提供独特的空间体验，同时也为一个地方的视觉识别作出贡献，并促进社区参与。 这一实践是由马克在计算设计方面的专长所推动的。THEVERYMANY代表了一个研究机构，继续推进新的参数化成果，并在建筑和其他方面实施复杂的技术。每个项目都是对以前的调查的发展，并通过代码和计算协议进一步研究设计，解决了将复杂的曲线自支撑表面描述成一系列平面元素的新方法，以便有效地制造。 这些原型建筑已经被一些机构和画廊收购和展示，包括蓬皮杜中心（巴黎），Y/STRUC/SURF是该中心永久收藏的一部分，FRAC中心（法国奥尔良），以及艺术和建筑店面（纽约）。马克还在古根海姆、GGG迈阿密巴塞尔艺术展、巴黎艺术展上展出，并在菲利普斯-德普瑞拍卖行出售。 马克作为TED研究员，在公开讲座中，以及通过学术任命、艺术家驻地和研讨会分享他的研究。他与Francois Roche共同创立了"（n）certainties"，这是哥伦比亚大学的一个研究生工作室，在南加州大学和维也纳的Die Angewandte有访问学期。他曾与Patrik Schumacher一起在密歇根大学、普林斯顿大学和哈佛大学GSD授课。 2007年，马克设计并推出了www.scriptedbypurpose.net，这是第一个专门关注设计中的脚本过程的展览，是为2008年北京建筑双年展的欧洲部分策划的。 马克在英国、美国和法国的专业经验包括SOM、Ross Lovegrove和ZAHA HADID建筑事务所。在ZAHA，马克是法国波城的一个实验性媒体中心的项目建筑师。他指导了大量的材料研究和几何发展，这将是迄今为止最大的自支撑碳纤维外壳。
