Nader Featured in Hotchkiss Magazine’s “Art of Design”
Posted on December 20th, 2017 by Nicole Sakr

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.”

Katie Juries Asia Pacific Interior Design Awards

Katie recently served as juror for the Asia Pacific Interior Design Awards, selecting the Suzhou Chapel as best of 2017.
“The Suzhou Chapel expresses its serenity through a simple palette of color and materials. Brick walls anchor the building to the landscape, while the looming white form indicates a hierarchy to be discovered. The interior appears to be a skillful bending of light, with raw concrete – punctuated by generous openings – subtly transitioning to a warm wood liner. The project is distinguished by its deceptive simplicity: the motif of the light boxes is echoed in the expertly constructed brick. The fixtures complement the natural light. The Suzhou Chapel is at once a display of restraint and a complex spatial sequence. It is deserving of recognition.”

Blueprint 354: Nader on the current challenges of architecture education
Posted on December 18th, 2017 by Nicole Sakr
Posted under: Press
“On the one hand, students have infinite ability to engage with sophisticated software, technologies and tools to produce new forms of knowledge at a very early moment in their intellectual evolution; on the other hand, they also have an unprecedented need for understanding of how to channel this potentiality through critical filters, to better assess what they are doing and to engage with their medium in more judicious, discerning and self-conscious ways. this is a time when the role of the humanities, by way of philosophy and critical thinking, may also take on renewed importance if we are to gain a better appreciation of not ‘what’ we can do, but ‘why’ we should do them.”
