The high-performance design includes a targeted, customized solar strategy LEO A DALY’s Thurgood Marshall Hall recognized for design innovation
O ut of thousands of sub- missions from more than 45 countries, Uni- versity of Maryland Thurgood Marshall Hall earns outstand- ing built project in the Institu- tional category of the Global Architecture & Design Awards 2023 (GADA). Spanning archi - tecture, landscaping, urban and interior design, selected entries are carefully evalu- ated by an international jury panel composed of established scholars, esteemed profession- als, prominent press members, creative design professionals, and experienced entrepreneurs.
University of Maryland Thurgood Marshall Hall
“Working with the University of Maryland to create this state- of-the-art environment for pub- lic policy education and the world’s first Do Good Institute has been an incredible journey and achievement for everyone,” said Leo A Daly principal-in- charge Rauzia Ally . “We are extremely honored and proud to be recognized for the powerful democratic design of Thurgood Marshall Hall.” As a building dedicated to democratic thought, visibility and transparency were meta- phors necessary to infuse into the design. “These ideals be- came organizing principles from every element of the inte- rior program and exterior ex- pression,” shared global design principal Irena Savakova . “Activity and discourse are on display everywhere in the building and we integrated sound privacy while high- lighting visual connectivity.” The jewel piece of the de- sign concept is the delibera- tive chamber, an oval-shaped learning environment created for UN-style debate. The cham- ber was formally identified as a signature organizing ele- ment of the program, and as such it is placed as a floating, sculptural element within the transparent glass box of the East building entry. In this way, it becomes an object of curiosity and inspiration that can gather attention from all arrival pathways and energize the Gateway Plaza of the Col- lege Park university campus. The high-performance de- sign of Thurgood Marshall Hall includes a targeted, cus- tomized solar strategy. Loca - tion specific encapsulated translucent fins and shading trellises coincide with the solar cycle, maximizing sunlight, framing unique views and minimizing energy use. MAREJ
