“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.”

SMALLER, SAFER, FAIRER: Steps towards closing Rikers

The Justice Implementation Task Force fully launched two weeks ago joined by NADAAA’s Dan Gallagher, with Working Groups on Safely Reducing the Jail Population, Culture Change and Design meeting to provide feedback and innovation to the City’s strategies to transform our justice system.

In a major step in configuring jails off Rikers Island, the city is inviting proposals for a master plan for a borough-based jail system for New York City. Starting with the three existing Department of Correction facilities in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, the study will provide information on what is possible at each location, as well as help to identify additional sites, as needed, to house a population of 5,000 off-Island. The study will engage neighborhoods along with members of the Design Working Group of the Justice Implementation Task Force.

Globe and Mail writer Dave Leblanc discusses the history of the circle where the new Daniels Building sits with Dean Sommer.

“So it’s a kind of witness to the transformation of the city but also this didactic or pedagogical lesson in architecture as something that starts out as uptight, British, a cloister for enlightenment, then becomes a laboratory, and now, let’s say, something creative,” Dean Sommer offers.

Rock Creek House in Arketipo

Rock Creek House is featured in this month’s issue of Arketipo. Laura Malighetti writes: “Il processo di ripensamento dell’edificio coinvolge in modo radicale proprio questi ultimi “mantenendo il fantasma dell’ordine esistente” […] Le aperture originarie, infatti, subisscono allargamenti, restringimenti e slittamenti che trasformano le facciate in una composizione astratta e irregolare di forature.”
