A few weeks ago Brigitte Shim of Shim-Sutcliffe moderated a thoughtful conversation between John Wardle, Nader Tehrani, Stefan Mee, and Arthur Chang. This talk touched on recent JWA and NADAAA projects with a focus on collaboration.
NADAAA has collaborated with JWA on two completed projects located in Melbourne, Australia. The first being the Melbourne School of Design and the second, Tanderrum Bridge. Those collaborations were rewarding in many ways and have generated a global friendship.
Since the talk, we have had many requests to share the recording, and here it is!

FRAME’s Peter Maxwell writes on how this year’s design schools’ graduation shows have reinvented the digital format. One of Maxwell’s key examples of how institutions are creating ambitious digital exhibitions is The Cooper Union’s EOYS: “Other schools have gone one step further, radically rethinking the modes of production of the show itself. In New York, The Cooper Union’s end-of-year show, which includes work spanning all five years of undergraduate design studios, is being displayed in a surrealized version of the historical building in which the school’s classes, studio spaces, and exhibitions are (in better times) held.”

In Nader’s conversation with TRANSFER editor Isabel Concheiro a few weeks ago they discussed the potential effects of COVID-19 on globalization, revolution, public space, housing inequalities, sustainability, and our evolving architectural discourse.
“to some degree, this may require a paradigm shift in the discipline: the centrality of the human would need to be displaced with the environment at large as its center, including the various species and flora that it sustains. And it poses a very difficult existential question: If humans have the intellectual power to conceptualize a model of sustainability for the globe that was to be to the detriment of human life, would they elect to support it? Could they support a model that prioritizes a center outside of the self?”

This may sum up Domus’s Matteo Mirani’s review of The Cooper Union’s EOYS: “You have to experience it. Go to the website”
“Pause. Yes, you have to pause and digest the above. Understanding and enhancing the importance of the notion of “space” and “time” in a school of architecture is a pedagogical statement. The works of the students are on show within the limitations given by the somehow “real” physicality of the space in a given time in history. The works exhibited are dealing with the “friction” embedded in the real space while responding to our times. We are in our field here, architecture. The digital, accurate reconstruction of the school’s space at this time, filled with the students’ works seems fulfilling the mission of the school: the dialogue and the coexistence of different ideas that move forward the disciplinary knowledge in our field.”
