“The founder of the New York- and Boston-based firm NADAAA has completed three architecture school buildings—a feat that no one else is known to have achieved. Each building will inevitably convey lessons about architecture to students who use it—giving Tehrani (who is also the dean of the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture at New York’s Cooper Union) an unprecedented degree of influence over architecture education.”

To celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary, Nader – along with architects from Snøhetta, 5468796 architecture and other firms – spoke about what he believe’s the country’s role in architecture will be in the next 150 years.

“From our perspective today south of the border, we can imagine Canada playing an important role in offering a platform for social equity and environmental issues through the agency of design, all of which your leadership has shown in some measure – something that is being denied to us in the USA under our current administration. If the current spheres of power are fleeting moments in the context of the next 150 years, they are also a reminder that their impact can only be seen if treated as long-term commitments as part of a larger social contract.”
