Darin is an award-winning architect as well as an educator at @sciarc Institute of Architecture. He has 30-years experience in Architecture with 25-years of that time spent educating young architects.
We chat about the very cool and unique @artcenteredu College of Design, Mullin Transportation Design Center in Pasadena, California.
When was the last time YOU worked on an adaptive reuse of a SUPERSONIC WIND TUNNEL!
The Mullin Transportation Design Center (MTDC) at ArtCenter College of Design is a masterful transformation of history into innovation.
Once a supersonic wind tunnel designed to test objects fixed in space, the structure has been revitalized into a state-of-the-art facility that invites motion, creativity, and experimentation utilizing a building-in-a-building concept.
The project is a state-of-the-art educational facility for a world-renowned Transportation Design program with 31,000 square feet of specialized creative labs, large-scale maker spaces, classrooms, exhibition areas, studios, and offices.
Located within ArtCenter’s South Campus in Pasadena, this adaptive reuse project redefines the boundaries of design education.
