He operates primarily in the hypothetical and theoretical realm of design, merging the experience with the artifact, challenging the limitations of spatial discernment. His current work concerns the collecting and documentation of cryptomachinae and their environments via bastardized bestiaries, film, and visual effects. Receiving a Masters of Architecture from UNC Charlotte in 2017, he has held teaching positions instructing foundational design and representation courses at the same institution. Additionally, Dean practices at a regional design firm as a Project Architect. <img width="3600" height="4800" width_o="3600" height_o="4800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8b43cf9ade6ed4ee0eddd2f9cf5363335de88303fbbf06569e673133db1e37a0/CROUCH_headshot_color003b.png" data-mid="97691440" border="0" data-scale="98" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8b43cf9ade6ed4ee0eddd2f9cf5363335de88303fbbf06569e673133db1e37a0/CROUCH_headshot_color003b.png" /> https://rdeancrouch.com/MACHINO-HEADER Wed, 03 Feb 2021 22:31:26 +0000 r.DEAN https://rdeancrouch.com/MACHINO-HEADER &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img width="3600" height="961" width_o="3600" height_o="961" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5c9552b6f1a8809ffb693a1dad80dc3a6b18bcd250a70b7fdc31dcc16af89457/TITLE.png" data-mid="101443802" border="0" data-scale="21" data-no-zoom data-draggable src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5c9552b6f1a8809ffb693a1dad80dc3a6b18bcd250a70b7fdc31dcc16af89457/TITLE.png" /> ︎︎︎ &nbsp;this site is currently under construction, we thank you for your patience https://rdeancrouch.com/SS-HEADER Tue, 09 Mar 2021 19:38:22 +0000 r.DEAN https://rdeancrouch.com/SS-HEADER ︎︎︎ https://rdeancrouch.com/SS-1 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 19:38:20 +0000 r.DEAN https://rdeancrouch.com/SS-1 SPIRIT SQUARE RENOVATIONOngoing Clark Nexsen Charlotte, NC Sharing the lobby of the new main library with Snøhetta, the two theatres of Spirit Square, the McGlohon and the Duke Energy Theatres, require a highly detailed and complex model to determine both the existing conditions and the relationship with the new library. The archaeological nature of this six month effort traversed over a century’s worth of incomplete drawing sets, photographs, news articles, and numerous field investigations to bring forth a high resolution model of what was originally a Byzantine-style church from 1907. <img width="2520" height="1296" width_o="2520" height_o="1296" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/938c1df4d8e9f75fe14cfbf924c73ba34446b2bd0ebe991d3db4a871f412c48e/SS-SECTION001.png" data-mid="101421189" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/938c1df4d8e9f75fe14cfbf924c73ba34446b2bd0ebe991d3db4a871f412c48e/SS-SECTION001.png" />
