Current Work is a lecture series featuring leading figures in the worlds of architecture, urbanism, design, and art.
Nader Tehrani is the principal of NADAAA, a practice he founded in 2011 with Katherine Faulkner and Daniel Gallagher. (The firm grew out of Office dA, a practice he formed in 1986 with Rodolphe El Khoury, which later expanded to include Monica Ponce de Leon.)
Tehrani organizes his lecture around three projects for schools of design: the Hinman Research Building at the Georgia Institute of Technology; the Melbourne School of Design at the University of Melbourne; and the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design at the University of Toronto. He discusses the relationship of these buildings to scholarship and making.
The lecture is followed by a discussion with Florian Idenburg, a founding partner of SO–IL and an associate professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
