    @storefrontnyc #sharingmovement Gallery Guide #manhattanisms Sharing July 15 — Models — September 2, Manhattanisms 2016 We are experiencing the emergence of a culture that is marked by a return to, redefinition, and expansion of the notion of the commons. The increasing complexity and interconnectedness of globalization is reorienting us away from trends that have emphasized individuation and singular development, and toward new forms of collectivity. Over the last decade, emerging technologies and economies have affected aspects of our everyday life, from the way we work and travel, to how we think about shelter and social engagement. How will the sharing movement of today affect the way we inhabit and build the cities of tomorrow? Manhattan, one of the most dense and iconic places in the world, has been a laboratory for many visions of urbanism. Sharing Models: Manhattanisms invites 30 international architects to produce models of their own visions for the city’s future. The models, each a section of Manhattan, establish analytical, conceptual, and physical frameworks for inhabiting and constructing urban space and the public sphere. Together, they present a composite figure; a territory that is simultaneously fictional and real, and one that opens a window to new perceptions of the city’s shared assets.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE PHILLIPS DE PURY & COMPANY, NEW YORK PRESENTS ATMOSPHERICS , A GROUND-BREAKING GALLERY EXHIBITION OF “OBJECT ARCHITECTURE” BY ASYMPTOTE FOUNDER HANI RASHID ATMOSPHERICS EXHIBITION DATES: JUNE 5 – JUNE 28, 2008 EXHIBITION RECEPTION: JUNE 12, 6 – 8 PM FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New York – May 9 – Phillips de Pury & Company is pleased to announce the groundbreaking exhibition Atmospherics , by Asymptote founder Hani Rashid . The works presented in this important show embody Asymptote’s radical architecture practice built on hybridity and spatial explorations. All of the works in the show are linked by their shared, formal exploration of objects subjected to speed and move - ment such as auto bodies or aerospace prototypes. For Atmospherics , Rashid has returned to unique, geometric forms called M-Scapes , initially produced in 2001 as digital drawings and exhibited at the ICA Philadelphia. Iterations of the abstract M-Scape form have consistently been used as a building block for Asymptote’s larger concepts. These M-scapes (“Motion- scapes”) further described by Rashid as “ambiguous bodies caught between the automotive body and the anatomical body,” link Asymptote’s past and present practices. With four buildings currently under construction globally in New York City, Busan, Budapest and Abu Dhabi, Asymptote finds itself in a new stage of enacting the experimental ideas at the core of its practice, in “real,” 3-D space. Atmospherics is the first time the M-Scapes have been produced as physical objects for exhibition. The large-scale M-Scapes are offered in limited edition, including Theta_03 and Theta_04 and the dramatic Baldaquin de Pury . These enigmatic forms, created from fiberglass and finished with high-gloss automotive paint, beautifully evoke forms found in both technology and nature.

  • The Yas Hotel Abu Dhabi by Asymptote Architecture Nears
    The Yas Hotel Abu Dhabi by Asymptote Architecture Nears Completion http://www.bustler.net/index.php/article/the_yas_hotel_abu_dhabi_by_asymptote_architecture_nears_completion/ New York-based Asymptote Architecture nears completion of The Yas Hotel project in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The Yas Hotel is a 500-room, 85,000-square-meter complex now under construction by Aldar Properties PJSC. Asymptote was awarded the commission to design the buildings and environs from a closed competition two years ago targeting an opening date of October 30, 2009 to coincide with the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Yas Hotel is one of the main architectural features of the ambitious 36-billion-dollar Yas Marina development and accompanying Formula 1 raceway circuit, also near completion. Asymptote’s founders and partners Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture envisioned an architectural landmark embodying various key influences and inspirations ranging from the aesthetics and forms associated with speed, movement and spectacle to the artistry and geometries forming the basis of ancient Islamic art and craft traditions. Of architectural and engineering significance is the main feature of the project’s design, a 217- meter expanse of sweeping, curvilinear forms constructed of steel and 5,800 pivoting diamond- shaped glass panels. This Grid-Shell component affords the building an architecture comprised of an atmospheric-like veil that contains two hotel towers and a link bridge constructed as a monocoque sculpted steel object passing above the Formula 1 track that makes its way through the building complex. The Grid-Shell visually connects and fuses the entire complex together while producing optical effects and spectral reflections that play against the surrounding sky, sea and desert landscape.
