Working out of the Box is a series of features presenting architects who have applied their architecture backgrounds to alternative career paths.
In this installment, we're talking with Larraine Henning. Larraine graduated with a Master in Architecture degree, but has opted for a non-traditional career as a nomadic, independent designer / illustrator / photographer. Larraine is currently seeking funding for A Practical Guide to Squatting on Indiegogo.
Are you an architect working out of the box? Do you know of someone that has changed careers and has an interesting story to share? If you would like to suggest an (ex-)architect, please send us a message.

Architect and furniture designer Florence Knoll Bassett (neé Schust) was a modern woman on many levels, and definitely way ahead of her time career-wise. Born in 1917 and orphaned at age twelve, she showed an early interest in architecture. Her appointed guardians enrolled her at Kingswood, an all girls’ boarding school on the campus of Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, MI. While still in high school, she befriended Finnish architect and industrial designer Eero Saarien who was teaching at Cranbrook. The Saarien family welcomed young Florence into their family and acted as mentors throughout her life.

Knoll Design via their PinterestFlorence went on to college at Cranbrook where she encountered Ray and Charles Eames and designer Henry Bertoia. Her later professors included Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, Modernism master Marcel Breuer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the icon Ludwig Mies van der Rohe at the Illinois Institute of Technology, where she completed her bachelor’s degree. Her solid background, world-renown mentors, and A-list connections permitted a seamless move to New York where she mets Hans Knoll, her future husband and business partner.

Portland State University’s School of Architecture announced the launch of its new Center for Public Interest Design, a research center that aims to investigate and utilize the power of design to make social, economic and environmental change in disadvantaged communities worldwide. The Center is the first of its kind in the nation.
The new Center’s startup is being funded by a gift from an anonymous donor, who has pledged a total of $1.5 million over a five-year period.
The mission of the Center meets a critical worldwide need for affordable, sustainable design. Bryan Bell, the founder of Design Corps, has often said that only 2 percent of building in the US involves an architect. That number is even lower in developing or undeveloped countries, where access to clean water, safe and well-designed shelter and other basic necessities may go unmet. The Center aims to change this fact, with the understanding that architecture can help make the world a better place and that architects can be agents of change.
The first five projects in the Center are rethinking the way designers collaborate with communities to change living conditions, regardless of economic or social status. The projects include the design and construction of an orphanage and environmental-technical school in Titanyen, Haiti, a collaboration with architecture faculty and students at Ecole Speciale d’Architecture, Paris, France; and the SAGE classroom, which has gone on the market nationally in the last week...

Under the telling and auspicious moniker of “black, white, and green,” textile manufacturer Chilewich is announcing a couple of innovations this summer. The first is the new aesthetic palette: “infinite variations by weaving with only black and white yarn.” The second is a welcome switch to vegetable-based plasticizers. And the third is the continued expansion and improvement of a sustainable tile-backing system.
Contemporary Allure with Recycled Content
There are, or course, as many variations of black and white as there are colors of the rainbow—so the new collection proves as compelling as the entire visible spectrum. Chilewich offers four distinct weaves in this basic palette: Basketweave, Mini Basketweave, Bouclé, and Lounge, for applications including wall-to-wall flooring, wall textiles, upholstery, window coverings, and tile flooring.
That last use provides a convenient segue to Chilewich’s Biofelt, the much-lauded PVC-free tile backing system containing 82% post-consumer content. Beyond its enhanced sustainability, Biofelt is designed for easy installation—it works seamlessly with the Velcro brand Hook Square system, an adhesive-free modular flooring installation system that not only facilitates easy installs, but also “can be removed without a trace and can even be reused.”
Last but definitely not least, Chilewich has elected to go completely petroleum-free with their plasticizers. The new TerraStrand fabric is composed of renewable, vegetable-based...
