“La photographie révèle ces relations mais elle ne les construit pas. Même dans le cas extrême où une structure est délibérément conçue pour se différencier et s’abstraire de toute sorte d’environnement, culturel ou naturel, elle est toujours inévitablement située dans un contexte et perçue comme en faisant partie.“

A sneak peek of NADAAA’s installation planned for La Biennale di Venezia 2021: How will we live together?
The cross-laminated timber (CLT) portico will define the edge of the Giardino delle Vergini. It is, at once, a civic yet domestic structure, operating at the scale of the lagoon on the waterside, while intimate and responsive to the garden on the other. Attenuated as it is, it anticipates community, whether in isolation, physical distancing, or social engagement.
The portico exposes a latent grain when it is routed on a diagonal axis, revealing V-shaped herringbone configurations that are an innate part of the layout of the stacked timber. This pattern speaks to the structure of the wood being used, it also speaks to the ornament it exposes as a result of a semantic richness of its own. It speaks to Venice and to a tradition of iconography its construction systems have held for centuries.

“The Cooper Union 2020-2021 lecture series will explore the role of architecture and urbanism within the context of interconnected global crises: the climate emergency, the public health crisis, and social inequity. In this context, we will investigate how architecture constructs, distributes and leverages power, as well as how spaces are shaped by larger political agendas that unequivocally involve questions of race, gender, body politics, and biopolitics. The overall aim is to question and assume responsibility for architecture’s political, ecological, and social agency.”

NADAAA and Reed Hilderbrand Landscape Architects have been selected to design the transformation of the Turkey Bend site on Houston’s Buffalo Bayou. The Buffalo Bayou Partnership’s goals for Turkey Bend include bringing back needed park space and access to the Bayou for Houston’s East End. The project will include the adaptation of a warehouse building, the conversion of a wharf building into an events space, as well as the metamorphosis of the water’s edge and the steeply sloping interstitial spaces of the site that connect to the Bayou’s trails.
We look forward to working with the Buffalo Bayou Partnership on this exciting project and getting to know the East End’s communities!
