SITREP.at produces Situation Reports on Urbanity.SITREP.at is a “Design Tank” dedicated to the study of Urbanity through architectural research and design. Our findings and proposals are published for public distribution as Situation Reports – SITREP.SITREP.at studies Urbanity around the world through its SITREP.at [City] study programs. These programs take the form of a 4 week-long Charrette conducted on-site by a dedicated team of Instructors and Participants. Instructors are experienced architectural educators, while Participants are selected through a rigorous application process. All Charrettes are operated as architectural seminars and design studios, in that the Instructors establish particular themes for study, work closely with small teams of Participants on research and design, and present the results through juried reviews with invited critics. Charrettes also feature weekly guest lecturers, special tutorials and workshops, and public exhibitions. The findings and projects produced by these Charrettes form the basis of the Situation Reports.

Our design methodology is inextricably linked to processes of construction: utilizing structure as a means to dematerialize, delimit space and access light, we strategically reconfigure the familiar fabric of the city.A diverse client base benefits from our extensive knowledge of contemporary energy-efficient technologies—green roofs, radiant floor heating, high efficiency building envelopes and mechanical systems—producing environmentally responsible and architecturally resonant buildings. Our broad design expertise, firsthand building and permitting experience and longstanding relationships with highly qualified consultants, contractors and vendors generate architecture of high-quality construction, superior detailing and exquisite finish at a normative cost.Baumann Architecture was founded in 2000. Our work has been recognized internationally and widely published, winning the prestigious New Practices New York Award in 2008, a competition juried by the American Institute of Architects recognizing exceptional contemporary New York architecture firms

We envision a world where architects and allied professionals are provided the resources and support they need to create excellent work in the public interest and to contribute to the high quality design of the public realm.Supporting and elevating the profile of architects working in the public interest is the first step to creating better design for traditionally underserved populations.A vibrant network of ‘activist’ architects is critical to the improvement of design in the public realm.High quality design in the public realm is critical to the production of socially equitable environments.

Advanced three-dimensional visualization: students gain expertise in methods of three-dimensional rendering. Exercises culminate in an examination of written passages that describe space: an excerpt from Paul Bowles’ Sheltering Sky, a bleak desert courtyard space populated by itinerants, serves as the basis for the final project. Manipulation of a wide range of media produce drawings in flux between established methods of representation and those unfamiliar.
