Metalab has been recognized with an AIA Houston Honor Award for Artist of the Year. The award will be received at the AIA Annual Meeting on October 18th and will have a solo exhibition at Architecture Center Houston in May 2012. Metalab recently created an interactive public art work in the new Houston Central Permitting Center through a commission from Houston Arts Alliance and City of Houston that integrates environmental sensing technology, algorithmic animation and digital fabrication. Their work with the artists Dennis Oppenheim, Matthew Geller and Jaume Plensa has established them as an nationally recognized architecture and fabrication firm specializing in civic art installations. Joe Meppelink and Andrew Vrana share this distinction with Sarah Hannah (UH School of Art MFA ’08) and Travis McCarra (UHCoA BArch ’09).

We’ve branded our 1975 Ford F150… the matching colors (Avacado) was a nice bit of serendipity.
