Resisting a culture of “no” in architecture, Min | Day says “yes”. Architecture is a big tent. Saying “yes” or “why not?” to opportunity, rather than fleeing perceived constraints increases the diversity and range of a practice. “No” limits the discipline while “yes” opens it up to unknown potentials. Principals EB Min and Jeffrey L. Day established Min | Day in 2003 in San Francisco, California and Omaha, Nebraska with the intention of saying “yes” to architecture’s potential. The contrasting settings of the practice—the urbane, topographically complex Bay Area and the agricultural checkerboard of the Great Plains—has deeply informed the attitude of the firm and fostered an open, expansive approach to design. The practice began with an evolving dialogue between locales, the West Coast and Midwest, but increasingly this is a dialogue between professional practice, academic engagement and pro-bono work explored through advanced craft, materiality and program. This approach yields rich and adaptable processes that have enabled the office to produce high-impact design for a wide variety of clients both well-funded and under-resourced. Projects exploit the interplay between actual and implied volumes and natural and applied color, shaping places that can be appreciated both for their architectural discipline and the sheer pleasure they afford. Surface materiality and color are important tools of space making that can reinforce or contradict the other components of spatial geometry, intensifying the experience or adding complexity. The work is rigorously detailed while eschewing strict formal order in favor of responsive, flexible spaces that remain open to the improvisations of everyday life. Design rigor can—and should—enable playfulness as well as sobriety. A significant component of Min | Day is the firm’s allied practice, FACT (Fabrication And Construction Team), a design-fabrication, service-learning lab staffed by interns and students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. With FACT, Min | Day undertakes art installations, built-work commissions and master plans for creative non-profit organizations, often resulting in innovative social spaces. For Min | Day, FACT is a vehicle for advancing the dialogue between practice, academia and pro-bono service. By forming long-term client partnerships Min | Day educates students not only in design and fabrication but also in design advocacy. FACT has also generated unique partnerships such as the collaborations with state penitentiary inmates on a recent pro-bono projects. FACT will initiate a new center at the San Francisco Art Institute in Spring 2014 to work with art students on a design-build campus project. The work through FACT has been instrumental in Min | Day’s development of design computation, digital fabrication techniques and (affordable) material innovation. The nimbleness and flexibility required to realize FACT projects has also informed commissioned work in the office. Working with non-profit artists’ residency programs and galleries, for which capital development is a slow and discontinuous process, one can’t depend on rigorous control over form, light, and detail. Instead, the firm seeks ways of structuring experience that will serve to unify the work of wide-ranging teams and successors. Taking cues from a landscape design sensibility affords a productive approach to such projects with uncertain futures and long timelines. However, working with tech startups requires an agility and speed necessary to keep up with the fast pace of technology. Design takes cues for Action Painting - action architecture. The widely published work of the office has garnered numerous AIA awards and other honors including the 2007 AIA California Council Emerging Talent award, Architectural Record Magazine’s 2009 Design Vanguard, the 2009 New Practices San Francisco award, California Home & Design’s Ten to Watch in 2009, Residential Architect’s 2010 Rising Star Award, and the ACSA’s inaugural national Design Build Award in 2013.
