5. Concept 1: DESIGN STRATEGY
SIMPLEXITY is a theory that proposes a possible
complementary relationship between complexity
and simplicity. The act of establishing a simple
solution for something that is complex and vice
versa. The result is a totally unexpected merging of
the two conditions into something utterly unique.

QUARTZ IS AN ABUNDANT MINERAL IN THE
EARTH’S CRUST. THE HIGH PURITY QUARTZ
FOUND IN NORWAY, IS BECOMING ONE OF
TODAY’S KEY STRATEGIC RAW MATERIALS. HIGH
PURITY QUARTZ, LIKE ART, REQUIRES A GREAT
LEVEL OF REFINEMENT. INSPIRED BY ONE OF
NORWAY’S NATURAL MINERAL RESOURCES, THE GOAL
OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ART, ARCHITECTURE AND
DESIGN IS TO ESTABLISH ITSELF AS PLACE OF INTERNA-
TIONAL SIGNIFICANCE. THE MUSEUM WILL BECOME A
DYNAMIC NEW COMPLEX WITH A VIBRANT NATIONAL
RESEARCH CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE IN THE VISUAL ARTS.
This process of refining the arrangement of spaces in a contem-
porary museum is similar to the refinement of raw quartz found in
the earth. The first step for processing the mineral physically
includes crushing, flotation, and separation techniques.

Module 3 15 USW
This structure overlooking Union Square Park
was originally designed for Tiffany & Company
in the late 19th century.
With careful consideration for upholding its
historical place within the city, 15 Union Square West
is gracefully translated into a 21st century residential masterwork.
Creating harmony between the bygone and the present,
the design for luxury living wraps the 12-story condominium
residence in a translucent, layered glass skin,
preserving the prominent cast iron arches of the original
5-story construction and dramatic 16’ceiling height.
SIZE: 62,000 SF

The curtain wall of glass is offset from the outside surface of the
cast iron facade creating an interstitial space between the apartments.
The black zinc framed panels are double insulated,
low E protection and low iron laminated glass having little refraction.
This technology creates a near perfect reflection of the park during the day with gentle
transparency at night cueing the historic structure
while only hinting at the individual apartments located within.
The design creates 7 new floors - a series
of elegant glass cubes set at different angles
to allow for vivid, unobstructed park and
city views with spacious,
private outdoor terraces.

THE CONCEPT OF BAKERY
AS AN ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION,
THIS ADAPTIVE REUSE PROJECT IN QUEENS, NEW
YORK TAKES A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH DEVELOPING
A DESIGN PLAN TO CONVERT THE EXISTING STRUCTURE
INTO A WARM AND INVITING GATHERING PLACE WHILE INCORP-
ORATING THE ARTISTIC VIBRANCY OF ITS LOCAL COMMUNITY.
Exposing the existing walls and doors, ODA transformed the decaying
masonry façade of the 1950’s Esso garage into a significant rain screen
by introducing steel channels with wooden dough rollers into the skin of
the building. In keeping with sustainable principles, the heat island effect
caused by the existing asphalt parking area was addressed using
concrete block and grass throughout the paving area, and by creating
a park-like outdoor deck area which people now use to relax with
a coffee, sit and read or just people watch. The community
embraces the bold and expressive statement of this
eatery and the thoughtful and inventive design
has cultivated a cheerful and wholesome
working environment for its
employees.
