“La arquitectura académica necesita espacios específicos que inducen al estudio, a la concentración de la investigación, a intercambio de ideas y debates entre compañeros para generar un sentido crítico y reforzar el aprendizaje.”
The City of Boston, through the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture, is inviting artists to apply to create a permanent public artwork for the Adams Street Branch of the Boston Public Library.
The City released the Call yesterday and there will be a Virtual Q+A on Wednesday, September 9th. The Deadline for submissions is Wednesday, September 16, 2020. To learn more, check out the Call to Artists HERE and more information can also be found HERE.

Josephine Minutillo writes on NADAAA’s North Hall dormitory for the Rhode Island School of Design with a focus on how the project nestles into its unique site. “A structure that is at once overscaled and slight—its laminar sides and sharp edges accentuating thinness—NADAAA did a commendable job carving out of its massing as much volume as possible, with cornice lines, terraces, and material shifts that relate to the surrounding context. From some perspectives it is king of the hill, from others just part of the eclectic mix.”
NADAAA is participating in the Biennale’s 17th International Architecture Exhibition with a pavilion in the Giardino delle Vergini. This year’s Biennale Architettura titled How will we live together?, will be curated by Hashim Sarkis and organized by La Biennale di Venezia chaired by Paolo Baratta. Read Baratta and Sarkis’s statements on this year’s exhibition HERE.
We will share more soon!
