Tanderrum Bridge wins the Melbourne Prize

Posted on July 1st, 2017 by Nicole Sakr

Posted under: _Tanderrum Bridge, Awards

Tanderrum Bridge has won the coveted Melbourne Prize at the Victorian AIA 2017 Awards for its “evocative and memorable contribution to Melbourne’s cultural and urban landscape”.

“The lightweight industrial quality of steel trussed railway structures and branches of the park’s elm trees influenced the character of the bridge. The result is a filigree character that provides the ‘framework for a journey’ between two starkly different landscapes.”

A big thank you to our collaborators John Wardle Architects, Oculus and Buro North!

Nader Featured in Azure’s Celebration of Canada 150

Posted on June 30th, 2017 by Jalisa Joyner

Posted under: Press

To celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary, Nader – along with architects from Snøhetta, 5468796 architecture and other firms – spoke about what he believe’s the country’s role in architecture will be in the next 150 years.

“From our perspective today south of the border, we can imagine Canada playing an important role in offering a platform for social equity and environmental issues through the agency of design, all of which your leadership has shown in some measure – something that is being denied to us in the USA under our current administration. If the current spheres of power are fleeting moments in the context of the next 150 years, they are also a reminder that their impact can only be seen if treated as long-term commitments as part of a larger social contract.”

NADAAA collaborating with the Van Alen Institute

Posted on June 23rd, 2017 by Nicole Sakr

Posted under: Events, Urban Design

Over the past six months NADAAA has been engaged with the Van Alen Institute and The Independent Commission on New York City Criminal Justice and Incarceration Reform to develop design guidelines for a healthier and more just New York City jail system. Our team was led by NADAAA principals Dan Gallagher, AIA and Nader Tehrani with a multi-disciplinary group including Susan Gottesfeld of the Osborne Association; Susan Opotow and Jayne Mooney of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and The Graduate Center, City University of New York; and Karen Kubey, urbanist. Through the efforts of Speaker Mark-Viverito and former New York State Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman this undertaking was launched. Following Mayor Bill de Blasio’s recent resolution for the closure of Rikers Island the study could not have been more timely. The process has involved workshops in Queens, The Bronx, and Brooklyn which included members of the community, former inmates, former corrections officers, and family members. Read more about the process on the Van Alen Institute’s website HERE.
