Based in Boston NADAAA has evolved over three decades as a multi-disciplinary practice dedicated to bridging design disciplines; from landscape to urbanism, architecture to interiors, and industrial design to furniture. With an eye towards integrated thinking, we enter the discourse on technology, aesthetics and building protocols as part of a holistic process, Rather than focus on typology NADAAA’s portfolio is built on process, with examples of institutional, academic, housing, commercial, retail and civic projects.

Lecture Abstract:

In a world increasingly challenged by global warming, it is clear that the construction industry is a major contributor to unsustainable carbon emissions. The identification of naturally renewable resources is a critical factor in determining a sustainable supply chain for the industry, and yet that cannot guarantee the role of architecture in the equation. This lecture will focus on the role of wood, adopted in its hybrid formats to contribute to the cultural and ecological equation in balance.
