Troy Schaum
Faculty Work
2017–Present
Schaum Architects is engaged in ongoing restoration and preservation work in Marfa, Texas, including the recent completion of the restoration of The John Chamberlain Building for The Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas.
The John Chamberlain Building, a former wool and mohair warehouse built in the 1940s in Marfa, TX, was adapted by Donald Judd in 1983 to house 23 large-scale John Chamberlain sculptures for public viewing. The Chinati Foundation engaged Schaum Architects to restore the deteriorating structure and to improve the building's accessibility and energy performance while preserving Judd’s design interventions in the historic building.
