In addition to aesthetics, comfort and constructability, it looks like NADAAA’s furniture design will also need to account for spontaneous brawling?

The construction of the University of Melbourne FABP has been very exciting and we are glad to see it actively documented through time lapse cameras, a university blog and video series. The latest video by the university captures John Wardle and Nader Tehrani’s visit to the site as the building nears completion. We can’t wait to share the finished project.
JWA and NADAAA in collaboration.

RUNNING FOR A CAUSE

This year’s Boston Marathon held a special meaning for the City of Boston. NADAAA’s principal, Nader Tehrani, ran in the race as part of MIT Strong which raised funds in honor of Officer Sean A. Collier, the young officer who was senselessly shot and killed while serving the MIT community. We are proud to say that Nader finished the 26.2 mile course and raised over $9,000. All of this have not been possible without everyone’s donations and support, especially Jim Harrington’s sign at heartbreak hill.
How did Nader do? Check out his stats:
MIT Strong is still accepting donations. To donate, click here.

Unexpected Uses

Since its opening, NADAAA has come across images of interesting ways people have used the RISD Fleet Library. What was conceived as a reading lounge and collective ‘living room’ for student dormitories housed above the library has transformed into a stage, art gallery and ceremony backdrop. Have you seen the space used in any other ways? Let us know!
