“Toronto has squandered much of its architectural heritage. Dozens of grand old buildings fell to the wrecker’s ball in the postwar rush to modernize and renew the city. so when a building that somehow survived the years of careless destruction gets a makeover, and a brilliant one at that, the only thing to do is stand up and cheer.”
Marcus Gee from Toronto’s The Globe and Mail writes on the revitalization of the Knox College building at One Spadina Crescent and the new home of the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design. Read the full article HERE.

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.”

Posted on December 18th, 2017 by Nicole Sakr

“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.”

“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.”
