Three installations are featured in Ila Berman and Douglas Burnham’s Expanded Field – Fabricating Coincidence, Voroduo, and Voromoro. Expanded Field: Architectural Installation Beyond Art explores the realm of art and architecture across a broad terrain of installation practices.

“As a chameleon that veils its own figuration behind the environmental matters appropriated from its context, each of these installations operates as an attractor that absorbs, defamiliarizes, and redisplays the physical and perceptual attributes of its surrounding landscape.” – Ila Berman

Flashback Friday: La vache qui rit

“La culture est un mouvement qui surprend, interpelle, enchante et dérange parfois. Sa richesse, sa diversité et son impertinence même sont le signe d’une société et d’une démocratie qui vibrent.”

La vache qui rit, is the cow that laughs last… as he looks back at you in anamorphic projection. This is the biennial installation we did in Morroco in 2009, located in a former slaughterhouse as part of a greater effort to reinvent East Casablanca, transforming an abandoned structure into a cultural factory.

Yale School of Architecture’s MArch I student Wes Hiatt interviews Nader on “the architect’s engagement with the politics of identity” in this month’s issue of their publication Paprika!

 “It is certainly one of our responsibilities to make room for competing ideas, and tolerance is at the root of this principle. However, when tolerance allows certain voices at the table whose main argument is to exclude others from the dialogue, then that becomes our defining predicament.”
