Nader Featured in Hotchkiss Magazine’s “Art of Design”

Wendy Carlson from The Hotchkiss School visited the office earlier this year to interview Nader, a Hotchkiss Alum, about the office, balancing work between NADAAA and Cooper and his first impressions of Hotchkiss. Read the full article HERE.

“I’m trained as a traditional architect and have basically spent 25 years constantly re-educating myself through the younger generation. The idea of a teacher as the central master is all but obsolete. We learn horizontally: students learn from each other, and teachers more often learn from students. Whereas we may bring more experience to the conversation, the next generation brings an openness and a digital dexterity that often overturns one’s assumptions.”

Azure: How NADAAA saved the DFALD ceiling

“NADAAA’s hyperbolic paraboloid solution, says Faulkner, was significantly different from how the contractor was envisioning it. They had pictured a series of specialty metals crafted into an armature. The full-scale model proved that any framer could construct the ceiling using standard drywall, scoring it to create the curve.”

The Politics of Play: Nader on Hashim Sarkis’s work

Posted on November 28th, 2017 by Nicole Sakr

Posted under: Academic

“Sarkis demonstrates that to be politically effective, architecture must somehow operate through its autonomy, if only to show how its own techniques, tools, and devices, participate in building an imagination for the world”

 

“Consider the herringbone pattern that adorns the Balloon Landing structure in Beirut […] Here, the grain overcomes the traditional opposition between surface and depth, or structure and skin; the thinness of paint, the laminar nature of the wood lattice, and the depth of a concrete pour are brought to both material and sematic equation, as the herringbone becomes inextricably bound to the geological depths of the site onto which it is cast.”
