The central idea is to establish the first design leadership program aimed at the global professional. This program invites students from all over the world to imagine future urban and architectural forms that overcome the constraints of today’s global city. Through their focused design research, the students will be challenged to project design strategies in various sclaes (from urban to building) that deal with the emergent needs of a global urban environment that is growing at a staggering pace.

  • Phillips Selects Studiomda to Design New Space at 432 Park Ave
    PRESS RELEASE Phillips Selects studioMDA to Design New Space at 432 Park Ave. Founder Markus Dochantschi to Lead Effort to Create a Space for a 21st-Century Auction House NEW YORK – 30 OCTOBER 2019 – Phillips is pleased to announce the selection of studioMDA, founded by Markus Dochantschi, to design its new headquarters at 432 Park Avenue in New York. Having worked extensively with renowned art collectors, artists and galleries to create innovative and provocative gallery and exhibition spaces, studioMDA plans to create a one-of-a-kind setting that promises to transform Phillips into a leading venue for experiencing art in New York. “We chose this outstanding firm for several reasons,” said Edward Dolman, Chief Executive Officer of Phillips. “First and foremost, we selected studioMDA for its consistent design excellence. Markus has developed a strong reputation for the exceptional quality of his work designing some of the most elegant art galleries and exhibition spaces built in the last decade. In addition, his firm’s cultural experience means he not only understands our unique needs, but also the collaborative nature of our business. Phillips has experienced exponential growth in recent years, and the selection of studioMDA will ensure that our new home offers collectors an extraordinary new space to experience the very best of contemporary art, design, jewelry and watches.” Phillips plans to move into Macklowe Properties’ 432 Park Avenue, one of the tallest residential towers in the Western Hemisphere, early next year. The auction house will assume more than 55,000 square feet of commercial space in the double-height, column-free underground concourse, as well as take over the Park Avenue Cube, a white-glass modernist structure of more than 5,000 square feet on the northwest corner of 56th Street and Park Avenue, and move its staff into office space across from the Four Seasons Hotel.

  • STUDIO 2029 Speculating Speed and the High Speed Rail
    GSAPP Columbia University Advanced Studio Fall 2014 Critics: Laurie Hawkinson, Leigha Dennis 8-25-14 STUDIO 2029 Speculating Speed and the High Speed Rail It’s a done deal. With the support of California voters and the federal Recovery Act, construction on the high-speed rail began in 2012, and groundbreaking is expected this year. Recent advancements in the budget and business plan have secured ongoing state funding and move the project forward with certainty. Given this civic act of visionary will and its planned completion date of 2029, how might architecture engage with this impending linear infrastructure? Can Architecture be treated as leading or alongside infrastructure rather than an after thought? How can Architecture galvanize projects around big ideas and capture new value for public space and infrastructure? The term BIG here may be interpreted in many ways and scales; is it an accumulation of small installations—or something of a tremendous infrastructural dimension and scope? Could issues of Energy, Ecology, Economics and Urbanization together with Movement and Mobility be our framework for thinking about Architecture and infrastructure at this site? What would you propose for Architecture to partner with here? STUDIO AGENDA In this studio we will identify issues, imagine strategies, think up new programs, and create designs to be enacted on this 800-mile long zone proposed to connect California’s major regions along a single line of rail. The agenda of this studio is to produce possible real proposals, both formal and programmatic, for the inevitable arrival of the High Speed Rail (HSR). The HSR and a selection of stations along the densely desolate space of the rail line will be our site.

  • Luhring Augustine Adds New Gallery in Tribeca, Joining Its Chelsea and Bushwick Spaces Opening in 2020 and Marking Luhring Augus
    Luhring Augustine Adds New Gallery in Tribeca, Joining its Chelsea and Bushwick Spaces Opening in 2020 and Marking Luhring Augustine’s 35th Anniversary Inaugural Year Exhibitions Include Georg Baselitz, Lucia Nogueira, and Charles Atlas September 13, 2019 –Luhring Augustine is excited to announce the future opening of a new gallery space in Tribeca. Scheduled to debut in early 2020 and located at 17 White Street, the new venue joins Luhring Augustine’s existing locations in Chelsea and Bushwick, providing three different New York spaces and distinctive exhibition platforms for the gallery’s diverse programs. This new gallery will maintain its ‘downtown’ character — from the tin ceiling to its wooden floors — recalling the SoHo galleries of decades past. Luhring Augustine’s Chelsea gallery, which opened in 1998, provides two well-proportioned white-box galleries, while Bushwick, established in 2012, is an open, flexible exhibition space that can accommodate large-scale installations, films and videos, and long-term projects. The new 3,500 square-foot space is being renovated by Markus Dochantschi and his team at studioMDA. Recognized for its modern, minimal gallery designs, studioMDA is restoring the building’s original atmosphere to reflect the area’s architectural history. “We have long been looking for a space in Tribeca where we could join the growing community of notable galleries, both older and younger, in providing a fresh and exciting new context that is rejuvenating the contemporary art scene in New York City,” said Luhring Augustine co-founders Lawrence Luhring and Roland Augustine. “Operating three New York galleries in Chelsea, Bushwick, and Tribeca will allow us to present a diverse sweep of exhibitions, and encourage artists to show their work in distinct environments and areas of the city.
