Modern architecture has perpetually generated new phases of the city through innovative notions of urban housing. Alternative lifestyles, technologies, and design tools are redefining fundamental components of the discipline of architecture such as program, scale, material, fabrication, and form. What are these new visions and how can they be applied to new urban housing models? – UNDER PRESSURE

Nader contributed an essay entitled ‘The Architectural Grain to longtime collaborator John Wardle Architects’ THIS BUILDING LIKES ME book.
In what turned out to be a fortuitous turn of events, John Wardle was out of the country when we were to lecture together at the University of Melbourne – this in a bid to win the commission for the new Melbourne School of Design (MSD) building. John was unfazed, although he understood how important it was for us to speak as one on the same podium. Coming together – not as the traditional, international-local shotgun marriage, but as a true collaboration – we had yet to prove how we could bridge the Pacific to convene on the same conceptual platform. Sharing a common intuition, we had not actually worked together; we could only interpret commonalities through a series of projects that, in our minds, could be construed as blood relatives, no matter how far apart they were conceived and built.

The AIA Colorado 2016 Practice+Design Conference is taking place Oct. 6-8, 2016 at the Copper Mountain Resort. Katie will lecture on Material Difference on Saturday at 1:45.
The catalog of materials available to architects has never been more robust. The potential of things like synthetic spider webbing and bio-plastics render possible a near-future of 3d printed buildings. Yet most of us still paint within our comfort zone, using palettes of concrete, wood, brick, glass, and metal. Our projects demand deployment of readily available materials is ordinary ways so that a market of contractors with similar skills can compete on a level playing field. NADAAA is no exception. While our design ethos rests upon the bridge between research and practice, our ability to execute a project requires an understanding of the means and methods of construction. Assemblies that are seen as unique often translate into cost premiums, rendering them target for value engineering. As a solution, we have taken to making prototypes to optimize fabrication – using conventional materials in unconventional ways, and unconventional materials in conventional ways.
