The Architect’s Newspaper Features The Beacon
Posted on April 27th, 2017 by Jalisa Joyner

“Like many NADAAA projects, the building has an expressive envelope system. Panels of varying color and reflectivity play with light during the day and night. The coloration is calibrated to accentuate the height of the building, while an LED lighting system on an upper-level terrace “produces a dramatic lighthouse effect.”
Matthew Messner

NADAAA PRESENTS SHOEMAKER LECTURE & EXHIBITION AT RISD
Posted on April 24th, 2017 by Jalisa Joyner
Posted under: Installations + Exhibitions, Lectures
Today at 6:30 pm, Nader & Katie will present the RISD Shoemaker Lecture which complements ‘Domestic Tectonic: Translations Across Scales’, an exhibit on view until May 12th in the BEB gallery. The lecture at Metcalf Auditorium, Chace Center will follow the opening reception of the exhibition in the BEB Gallery at 5:30 pm. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
DOMESTIC TECTONIC OCCURS AT A MOMENT IN OUR TRAJECTORY WHEN THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN RESEARCH AND PRACTICE HAS INTERTWINED, NOT ONLY IN CONFLUENCE, BUT IN MOMENTS OF FRICTION WHEN OUR DESIGN AMBITIONS HAVE NOT ALIGNED WITH THE POSSIBILITIES OF PATRONAGE, CONSTRUCTION NORMS, OR THE FLUCTUATIONS OF THE ECONOMY. THE SEEDS FOR CURRENT THINKING CAN BE FOUND IN HISTORY, AND MANY OF THE EARLY WORKS OF BOTH OFFICE DA AND NADAAA WERE HOUSES. TAKEN TOGETHER, THE HOUSES REVEAL NOT ONLY SPECULATION ON THE DOMESTIC REALM, BUT ALSO WAYS IN WHICH A SMALL PROJECT MAY BECOME AN ‘AMUSE BOUCHE’ FOR A LARGER CONSTRUCTION. THUS, WE LINK THE DESIGN AND CRAFT USUALLY RESERVED FOR THE SCALE OF A HOME TO THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE VERY INSTITUTIONS THAT TRAIN THE DESIGNERS.

NORTH CURTAIN WALL GOING UP AT BEAVER
Posted on April 20th, 2017 by Gretchen Neeley
Posted under: _BEAVER R+D Center, Academic, construction
The expression of the vertical curtain wall framing members is pronounced before the glass is installed and remains clearly visible on the interior.
However, the final exterior expression of the north facade is to suppress all vertical framing by using a structural silicone joint. The horizontal joints are awaiting their custom profile caps.

NADAAA SELECTED FOR TELLURIDE COMPETITION
Posted on April 13th, 2017 by Nicole Sakr
Posted under: Competitions
NADAAA is honored to have been selected among two other firms to work with the Telluride community over the next two months developing a concept design for the historic Telluride Transfer Warehouse which will serve as art gallery, studio, and community space. The structure was built to serve the local mining industry in 1906, but has been roofless and deteriorating since 1978. Now, through the efforts of the Telluride Arts District, it will be restored and reactivated as part of a larger neighborhood development. The goal of the project is to host exhibitions and installations, lectures and events, public gatherings and artists-in-residence. For more on this project click HERE.
“Rare is the opportunity to both preserve an important historic landmark and create something wholly unprecedented. The Transfer Warehouse stands as a monument to Telluride’s history of perseverance. The fundamental challenge of the project will be to maintain the power of the ruin while sponsoring vision and opportunity through architectural speculation for the Arts District.” Katie Faulkner and Nader Tehrani, NADAAA

“THE STORY OF OUR RISE THROUGH VARIOUS PROJECT SCALES INTO THIS TERRITORY THAT WE NOW INHABIT IS A STORY OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE, THAT HAD THE CONFIDENCE TO ENGAGE WITH US. AS WE’VE GROWN, WE HAVE LOOKED VERY CAREFULLY AT INVITING OTHERS INTO THE PRACTICE THAT HAVE HAD PARTICULAR SKILLS, ALWAYS BROADENING OUR RANGE.”
