    Comments Off on N H D M

    N H D M is a New York-based practice for design and research in architecture and urbanism, founded by its partners Nahyun Hwang and David Eugin Moon. The studio pursues an expanded practice of architecture and works across disciplinary borders engaging a wide range of scales and diverse modes of practice, from built design work to speculative projects and research. Each project uniquely investigating underexplored spatial concepts in the context of the cultural, political, and economic complexities of the contemporary built environment, the work aims to be introspective and analytic yet anticipatory.

    N H D M recently completed a 12,000 sf renovation of Nam June Paik Art Center, and the current projects include an 18,000 sf museum in Manhattan and a 7-story co-living prototype for marginalized youth combined with municipal educational institutions. The work of N H D M has been recognized through numerous publications and awards including 2020 Architectural Record Design Vanguard Award, 2019 Domus 100+ Best Architects, the 2018 AIANY New Practices New York award, the 2012, 2014, and 2018 AIANY Design Honor Awards, the I.D. Annual Design Review Design Distinction, and has been exhibited and presented at global venues including 2021 Venice Biennale (forthcoming), 2019 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, the 5th and 6th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam, and the 14th International Architecture Exhibition at 2014 Venice Biennale, the Storefront for Art and Architecture, the Center for Architecture New York, UMMA Stenn Gallery, and the Hartell Gallery among others. N H D M’s work has been supported by the Graham Foundation Grant and New York State Council of Art Grant.

  3. Milk Crate Planters

    Comments Off on Milk Crate Planters

    About

    Inspired by Ore Design + Technology’s milk crate planters, these planters add some greenery to the top of a barrier and double as seats. The Jackson Heights team donated and assembled thirty planters for businesses that were unable or too daunted to apply for street seating. Lightweight and modular, they help activate storefronts and sidewalks while following social distancing protocols. Nuala O’Doherty and the Jackson Heights Beautification Group improved upon the planters, adding cardboard to the inside of the root barrier fabric liners, to retain water for longer.

    Comments Off on Restaurant Barrier: Stick Construction

    About

    The design of this barrier invites customization. The spaces can be filled with potted plants, crates for storage, or as opportunities for posting menus or other forms of signage. The voids also ensure that this barrier is lightweight. Ultimately all openings in barriers greater than 4” must be covered by fabric, signage, or other solid material.

    About

    These quick, cheap, and punchy rope-and-felt planters were made by the Jackson Heights team primarily out of materials they already had on hand. They’re an inexpensive way to add color and life to outdoor restaurant barriers, and are easily removable, replaceable, and flexible.
