“For us at NADAAA, this is a new type of project entirely, and thus, it offers opportunities many other projects cannot… This has been an opportunity to put aside our authorship and look at the collection itself as the basis of inspiration: to build the project from the artifacts, and their relationship to their audiences.”
MIT Site 4 is short-listed for a 2022 AZ Award for best Multi-Unit Residential project. Public voting is open for the next week, please vote for Site 4 HERE!
The new book by Stella Betts and David Leven of LevenBetts is reviewed by Nader for Architectural Record.
“This book is a testament to how the ethic of iteration in architecture evolves into discipline […] with 13 themes and houses, each replete with wider cultural contexts that include literature, art, architectural precedents, and film. Open House, Campsite, Doors and Windows, Steps and Stairs, Corridors, Courtyards, Curtains, Plumbing, House Plants, Plans, Structures, Thick and Thin, Home—when listed like this, they appear as nothing more than benign architectural elements. But in the authors’ minds, each is conceptualized as an indispensable element of a mis-en-scène that anticipates the events that invariably get acted out, with each one serving as another protagonist onstage.”
Registration is open to all HERE. This lecture is part of the Master in Mass Timber Design (MMTD) Scholarship. Check out the scholarship opportunity at the link above!
