History edit request

edit

Hello Wikipedia editors. I'm Ivy, an employee at KieranTimberlake. I'm here to post my first edit request to the page. I've gone ahead and disclosed my COI on my user page here as I understand it's important to share that before diving in: User:IvyKieranTimberlake.

I'm here because the firm's article has had a tag on it for quite some time now, and I've drafted up a new version of the History section in an attempt to add new (quality) sourcing to the article and eventually get the tag removed. Below is a bulleted list of the changes I've made in my new version of the History:

  • Cited a Pennsylvania Gazette piece that adds info about how Steve Izenour introduced the firm's founders to Robert Venturi
  • Added more background information about the founders' each winning the Rome Prize using a Philadelphia Magazine piece
  • Added Sam Harris as an original founder and that the company began operations out of Mr. Kieran's Powelton Village home. Later added that he eventually left the firm in the 1990s. Cited this to the Philadelphia Magazine article.
  • Added coverage of KieranTimberlake's first few projects, including projects for Chestnut Hill College and the Shipley School.
  • Introduced information about how Mr. Kieran and Mr. Timberlake funded their book Refabricating Architecture by using a $50k grant they won, and included that the book sold 13k copies as of 2011, cited to a Global Design News article.
  • Cited an article from The Architect’s Newspaper about the firm's ventilated curtain wall installed at University of Pennsylvania.
  • Cited a New York Times article that covered the firm's pavilion at Cooper Hewitt, and detailed coverage of the firm's invention SmartWrap.
  • I added two sentences about KieranTimberlake's Cellophane House, cited in two pieces: Architect Magazine and American Institute of Architects.
  • Cited Architectural Record and CNN, which covered the firm's design of the new Embassy of the United States in London.
  • Also introduced new info about two books Mr. Kieran and Mr. Timberlake have authored together: Manual: The Architecture­ of KieranTimberlake and Alluvium: Dhaka, Bangladesh, in the Crossroads of Water, the second of which I cited to an Architect Magazine piece.
  • Cited a Metropolis article to add a new paragraph that details how KieranTimberlake moved its HQ to an old bottling plant and also updated the number of employees.

Here's the draft:

History section draft

History

edit
Latest comment: 5 months ago6 comments3 people in discussion

Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake met while they were architecture students at the University of Pennsylvania in the mid-1970s.[1] Their architecture professor Steven Izenour introduced them to architect Robert Venturi and the pair went on to work for him at his firm Venturi Rauch and Scott Brown.[1]

In 1980, Kieran won the Rome Prize which included a year-long fellowship at the American Academy in Rome.[1] In 1982, Timberlake also won the Rome Prize and was awarded a year-long fellowship.[2]

In 1984, Kieran, Timberlake, and structural engineer Sam Harris, officially established the practice KieranTimberlake, initially headquartered in Kieran's Powelton Village townhouse.[2] The firm's first few projects included a new building for Kieran's father's car dealership and a jewelry store.[2] The firm's first big project came in 1986 when the architects were commissioned to design a campus community center at Chestnut Hill College.[2] KieranTimberlake was then commissioned for a project at Bryn Mawr's Shipley School complex.[2] Harris later left KieranTimberlake in the 1990s to run his own firm.[2]

In 2001, James Timberlake and Stephen Kieran won the Benjamin Henry Latrobe award from the Fellow of the American Institute of Architects which came with $50,000.[2][3] Timberlake and Kieran used the earnings to write a book titled Refabricating Architecture.[2] The book was published in 2004, and as of 2011, had sold 13,000 copies.[2] In 2002, Princeton Architectural Press published Manual: The Architecture­ of KieranTimberlake, which presents a technical look at the firm's architectural practices.[2] By 2002, the firm had 50 employees.[2]

In 2003, the firm installed the first actively ventilated curtain wall in North America at the University of Pennsylvania's Levine Hall.[4]

Later in 2003, KieranTimberlake installed a pavilion at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum featuring the firm's invented Smartwrap technology.[5] SmartWrap is a system consisting of layers of transparent PET plastic that incorporates ultrathin solar panels to elect energy with flat chemical batteries to store it.[5]

In September 2008, KieranTimberlake's Cellophane House was selected to appear at the Museum of Modern Art's Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling exhibition.[6] The Cellophane House was selected for the MoMA's exhibit due to its modular design, use of sustainable building practices, and SmartWrap.[6][7]

In February 2010, KieranTimberlake won the commission for the new Embassy of the United States, London.[8] In January 2018, the new embassy building in London opened. [9]

In 2015, Kieran and Timberlake authored Alluvium: Dhaka, Bangladesh, in the Crossroads of Water, a book investigating housing and climate change in Bangladesh.[10] The book was inspired by the graduate architecture research studio the pair taught at the University of Pennsylvania, which included a trip to Bangladesh.[10]

By January 2016, KieranTimberlake had moved its headquarters to a 63,000-square-foot former bottling plant for Henry F. Ortlieb’s Brewing Co., now Christian Schmidt Brewing Company, in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia and has 100 employees.[11]

I understand this is a fairly detailed draft and that it may take time to get feedback on it. I'll keep an eye on this Talk page whenever feedback comes and will be ready to respond. Thank you so much for taking the time to read! IvyKieranTimberlake (talk) 14:58, 23 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello once again. I'm back posting under this request to see if editors who have edited this page in the past would have any interest in evaluating this request: User:Rofraja and User:AirForceAviator. Again, if anybody has questions, I'll be here. Thank you.IvyKieranTimberlake (talk) 16:25, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello IvyKieranTimberlake, thank you for flagging this. Your draft hews much closer to WP:MOS than what is currently written. I will try to find time to work on the article in the near future – and will likely use your version close to "as is" (once I have had time to review the references in detail).
May I ask you to have a go at revising the MOS:LEAD as well? It is currently larded with MOS:PEACOCK and not even close to WP:NEUTRAL.
Also, the "Awards" section needs references. It is probably fine for you to add these directly to the article. Please double-check the guidance re: WP:COI. If in doubt, you can also put them here (using Template:Reflist-talk, as you did above), and I'll move them to the article. Either way is fine with me. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:24, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much user:Cl3phact0 for the attention on this and the initial cleanup. While you find time to give the History request a deeper look, I'll be collecting proper references for the Awards section, as well as drafts for the Research and development section as well as the intro. When those are ready, I'll open up new requests for each. 50.206.201.226 (talk) 14:16, 10 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Rome Prize(s)

edit
Latest comment: 5 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Our list of Rome Prize recipients has the dates as 1981 (Kieran) and 1983 (Timberlake). The article states 1980 and 1982 respectively. Which is correct? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 17:49, 10 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

The prize is over the course of a year (80-81 and 82-83) so that may be the root of the confusion, but I would defer to how the Wiki Rome Prize page lists them (1981 and 1983). Thank you for flagging this! IvyKieranTimberlake (talk) 18:04, 10 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Noted. Thank you, Cl3phact0 (talk) 08:55, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Chronological order

edit
Latest comment: 4 months ago5 comments3 people in discussion

IvyKieranTimberlake, are you able to re-oder the "Work" "Selected projects" section chronologically, per "Awards" section (i.e., preceded by year, oldest on top, per: MOS:CHRONOLOGICAL; WP:CHRONO)? In my view, this would be more useful to a reader who is unfamiliar with the firm's projects. Also, references are needed for both sections. The information could be challenged (or simply removed) without. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 08:54, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, User:Cl3phact0! I'm currently working on gathering all the required references for the Selected projects section and the Awards section, which will then help me present a new draft of the Selected projects section that will be chronological. This will take some time, but when I'm ready to post what I have, I'll make sure to ping you. Thanks again! IvyKieranTimberlake (talk) 13:07, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
The list(s) can be re-established once the proper sourcing is available (the upside being that soon the article will be much better written and more precise than it was). In the interim, it has a very short awards list. Perhaps ping P,TO 19104 too when ready. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 19:24, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Cl3phact0: I agree, but the list of awards cannot be as long as it formerly was. It was slightly too long in my opinion. So when the references for the other awards are found, lets make sure to still look out for conciseness. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 19:30, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
The list of awards on their site is extensive (it states "over 260 design citations in the United States and abroad"). I'm not going to count them or go verify and reference each of them, but surely the delta between the 2 we list here and the 260+ they claim is too great. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 12:45, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Research and development request

edit

Hi everybody, I'm back to post a revised Research and development section. I understand that the section was recently removed by User:P,TO 19104 due to poor sourcing. I believe there is enough notable coverage that meets Wikipedia's standards to revive this section, and I believe the draft below proves that.

Here are the additions I made to the section:

  • Added an intro sentence stating that since the founding of KieranTimberlake the firm has developed multiple architectural and software products and conducted research studies on carbon reduction and sustainability, cited to articles from the Washington Post, Architectural Record, Metropolis and The Architect’s Newspaper.
  • Introduced a new sentence about the development of SmartWrap, providing a brief explanation about what the product is and the companies (ILC Dover and DuPont) it was developed alongside. Utilized articles from the Washington Post and Architect as sources.
  • Added that KieranTimberlake developed a wireless sensor network called Pointelist in 2013, cited to an article from Architect Magazine.
  • Added that KT developed an app called Tally, a life cycle assessment software plug-in for building information modeling software, and also added a sentence stating KT donated the software to the nonprofit Building Transparency, which in turn made the software open access. Cited to the Architectural Record reference.
  • Introduced a sentence about a KieranTimberlake developed app called Roast, which assesses building comfort, cited to a Fast Company article. Also added a sentence detailing that development of the app began when the firm moved into a former beer bottling plant in 2015, cited to the same Fast Company source.

Here's the draft:

Research and development

Latest comment: 4 months ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Since KieranTimberlake was founded in 1984, the firm has developed numerous architectural and software products,[1][2] and has conducted research studies on carbon reduction and sustainability.[3][4] Founders Kieran and Timberlake developed SmartWrap, mass-customizable plastic walls that wrap around conventional walls to provide insulation, heat, power, and light while teaching their graduate research design studio at University of Pennsylvania School of Design.[1] The technology for SmartWrap was developed in coordination with ILC Dover and DuPont, and debuted in 2003 at a KieranTimberlake pavilion erected at Cooper Hewitt.[1][5][6]

In 2013, KieranTimberlake developed Pointelist, a wireless sensor network.[7]

Later in 2013, KieranTimberlake developed Tally, a life cycle assessment software plug-in for the building information modeling software Autodesk Revit.[2] KieranTimberlake gifted Tally to the nonprofit organization Building Transparency in 2021, making Tally free and open access.[2]

In 2018, the firm published the app Roast, which surveys users to assess building comfort by recording perceived temperatures, brightness, and noise levels.[8][9] Development of the app began when the firm moved into a former beer bottling plant in the summer of 2015.[8]

Selected projects edit request

edit
Latest comment: 3 months ago5 comments3 people in discussion

Hi everyone, I've returned here to post my next edit request to update the Selected projects section. The section now has many projects without citations, some outdated, or with low-quality sourcing. For the projects I've proposed the addition of, I kept only the ones I could source for high-quality outlets and the ones with Wikipedia articles of their own.

Below are all the changes I've made in my proposed draft:

  • Removed the following projects from the section: Barkley College, Center City Building at UNC, Engineering Research Center at Brown, LivingHomes, Single and Multi-Family, Melvin J. and Claire Levine Hall at Penn, and Noyes Community Center at Cornell
  • Introduced a new chart to organize selected projects into name of project, location, status, year, and citation.
  • Added West Middle School, The Shipley School, KieranTimberlake's earliest project, cited to Philadelphia Magazine.
  • Removed the existing Loblolly House Forbes citation, replacing it with an Architect article and an Inside Inside article.
  • Added Sidwell Friends School Middle School Renovation, cited to a Green Education Foundation article that cited KT as the architects on the project.
  • Added Yale University Sculpture Building and Gallery, cited to an Atelier Ten article.
  • Introduced a new citation to the Cellophane House project from Architect.
  • Added Rice University Brockman Hall for Physics project cited to an Architect article.
  • Added University of California, San Diego Charles David Keeling Apartments project cited to two new references: an AECCafe article, and a WHYY article.
  • Added Dilworth Park project cited to a WHYY article.
  • Added Pound Ridge House Project, cited to The Architect's Newspaper.
  • Added High Horse Ranch, cited to an Architectural Record piece.
  • Removed the existing Washington Post citation for the London Embassy, replacing it with an Architectural Record article.
  • Added the Washington University in St. Louis Danforth Campus East End Transformation project, cited to two Architect pieces.
  • Added University of California, Santa Barbara Henley Hall project cited to Metropolis Magazine.
  • Added the Student Innovation Center at Iowa State, cited to Metropolis.
  • Added North Campus Housing at University of Washington cited to an AIA Washington Council article.
  • Removed the Pentagram citation for the Art and Ideals: President John F. Kennedy listed project, replacing them with two new citations from The Washington Post and batwin + robin productions.
  • Added the John A. Paulson Center at New York University cited to The Architect's Newspaper.
  • Finally, added the Park Pavilion at Penn's Landing cited to an article from The Architect's Newspaper.

Awards edit request

edit
Latest comment: 2 months ago6 comments3 people in discussion

Hi everyone, as I mentioned in a reply above, I'm here to post my next edit request to update the Selected Awards section. This section has been flagged as needing expansion and many of the firm's awards are not covered. I believe it's also unusual to have the section title capitalized.

Below are all the changes I've made in my proposed draft:

  • Changed the heading to Selected awards to match Wikipedia's usual sentence case style.
  • Kept the 2008 AIA Architecture Firm Award but added a new citation to Bustler.
  • Kept the 2010 Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award but added a new citation to Arch Daily.
  • Added the 2001 American Institute of Architects College of Fellows Latrobe Prize, cited to an Architectural Record article.
  • Added the 2009 American Institute of Architects Education Facility Award for Yale University Sculpture Building and Gallery, cited to Bustler.
  • Added the 2019 American Institute of Architects Housing Award for University of California Santa Barbara San Joaquin Villages cited to Residential Design.
  • Added the 2023 American Institute of Architects Regional and Urban Design Award for Washington University in St. Louis East End Transformation, cited to Architect Magazine.
  • Added the 2024 American Institute of Architects Housing Award for University of Washington North Campus Housing, cited to Residential Design.
  • Added the 2024 American Institute of Architects Architecture Award for New York University John A. Paulson Center, cited to Residential Design.

If anyone has any questions, please reply and I will be quick to respond. Thank you again User:P,TO 19104 and User:Cl3phact0 for all your help with this article so far, and I hope this draft helps resolve the tag Cl3phact0 added about expanding this section.

Comment: For the record, this series of recent edits is an excellent example of how a connected user can work with others to improve an article (significantly) without falling afoul of COI restrictions. Thank you, IvyKieranTimberlake, for your persistence and good work. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 06:57, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much for the kind words, and I'm very grateful for your time in helping get this article updated user:Cl3phact0.
One last thing: I think the section title should be "Selected awards", not "Selected Awards", if you are interested in making this small update, I'd appreciate that. Also, thank you to User:BerryForPerpetuity for implementing the original request. IvyKieranTimberlake (talk) 16:46, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for making that change to the heading, user:Cl3phact0! IvyKieranTimberlake (talk) 18:49, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm no authority on the matter, but do read this section of the COI policy. In short, it seems that it is fine to fix typos and similar errors in the article yourself (as long as you have made proper COI declarations, etc. – which, as far as I can see, you have). If in doubt, just ask at the WP:HELPDESK and someone will surely be able to advise. Also, another useful piece of useful advice to keep in mind: WP:COMMONSENSE.

Introduction edit request

edit
Latest comment: 2 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi editors, I'm back again, this time to propose a draft for an updated Introduction section. The Introduction, as it stands now, is not fully descriptive of the firm's work, and could use an update, considering the amount of overhaul the body of the article has gone through recently. Here is a list of the changes I've made in my proposed version of the Intro:

  • Removed the names of the founders. This is covered in the first sentence of the History section just below the Intro so I don't believe it is required in here.
  • Removed the list of services the firm specializes in, as this is covered in the infobox.
  • Replaced the list of services with a sentence explaining the firm's focus on sustainability and research. Also added a follow-up sentence about how the firm's projects include the design and planning of new structures, as well as the renovation and transformation of existing buildings. This is all backed up in the sourcing within the article.
  • Kept the final sentence as is, just swapped out "They" for "It."

Please read my updated Introduction section below:

KieranTimberlake is an American architecture firm based in Philadelphia. Since its founding in 1984, it has focused on sustainability, including research that it has used to develop new building technologies and products. Its projects include the planning and design of new structures, and the renovation and transformation of existing buildings. It has received many national and international awards for its work.

If editors have feedback, ping me, and I'll be around to respond. Thank you!! IvyKieranTimberlake (talk) 16:31, 30 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Done (with two minor changes to your suggested text). -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 17:08, 30 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you updating the introduction, user:Cl3phact0! It looks great. IvyKieranTimberlake (talk) 12:57, 3 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Infobox edit request

edit
Latest comment: 9 days ago7 comments3 people in discussion

Hi everyone, as I've looked over this page now that it's updated, I have just a couple of small suggestions. This edit request is to propose an addition to the infobox table to make it more informative about the firm's leadership beyond its founders. I looked at other pages and saw that there's often a "Key people" section of the infobox that lists top executives. For KieranTimberlake, that would be the firm's partners. Can that "Key people" section be added to the infobox and the firm's partners listed?

The list of partners to include is: Stephen Kieran (Partner), Richard Maimon (Partner), James Timberlake (Partner), Jason E. Smith (Partner)[1]

As always, if there are any questions, please reply and I will be quick to respond. Thank you once again to User:P,TO 19104 and User:Cl3phact0 for your help with all my requests. My last request will hopefully be to add an image of the firm, I'm working on figuring out the best image right now. IvyKieranTimberlake (talk) 18:52, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Jumping back into this thread to ping some editors who have been extremely helpful in the past: User:Cl3phact0, User:P,TO 19104, and User:BerryForPerpetuity. Hoping one of you fine folks has a few minutes for this one, thank you again! IvyKieranTimberlake (talk) 18:57, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
  Done Encoded  Talk 💬 21:40, 1 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks very much for updating the infobox, Encoded! IvyKieranTimberlake (talk) 17:08, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Do we really need both the "Founder" and "Key people" parameters in the Infobox? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 11:41, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
We could combine the two, have it as Person X (founder, etc)? Encoded  Talk 💬 09:06, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Agree. Current edit looks less redundant (and therefore cleaner), though it's not something I'm overly fussed about one way or the other. If everyone's happy with the format, I'll go ahead a remove the commented out bits. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:37, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
