“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.“

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!

A few weeks ago Brigitte Shim of Shim-Sutcliffe moderated a thoughtful conversation between John Wardle, Nader Tehrani, Stefan Mee, and Arthur Chang. This talk touched on recent JWA and NADAAA projects with a focus on collaboration.
NADAAA has collaborated with JWA on two completed projects located in Melbourne, Australia. The first being the Melbourne School of Design and the second, Tanderrum Bridge. Those collaborations were rewarding in many ways and have generated a global friendship.
Since the talk, we have had many requests to share the recording, and here it is!
