New York, USA

Aedas serves as Design Architect for The National September 11 Memorial

visitors down a gently ramped surface toward the core exhibitions at bedrock, the
archaeological heart of the World Trade Center site.

An investment of 36m has made it possible to provide accommodation for

Al Bahr Towers
Abu Dhabi, UAE

The design concept for Aedas innovative competition winning design

is derived from an algorithmic composition, informed by Islamic
principles of design, that has been supplemented by the application
of a dynamic translucent mashrabiya which opens and closes in
response to the movement of the sun, reducing solar gain on the
building faade by up to 50%. The resulting composition seeks
to create a building which is both culturally and environmentally
responsive. The building is targeting a LEED Silver rating and is on
programme for occupation in the Spring of 2012.

Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension

Toronto Transit Commission

Toronto, Canada

Lead Design Architect

Aedas has recently completed the designs for two new below-ground stations on the
Spadina Subway Extension between Toronto and the City of Vaughan in Ontario, Canada.
The Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE) is a new 8.6 km underground
metro project with six stations and ancillary facilities. Highway 407 Station is a key
transport hub in Torontos Transit City 2050 Masterplan. It provides a strategic park
and ride interchange between private car, subway, light rapid transit, and local bus
services adjacent to Highway 407, helping to reduce inner city congestion. Sheppard
West Station is situated at the edge of the Downsview Urban Park and provides an
interchange with Metrolinx regional rail services.

Key concepts for the Highway 407 scheme minimise

passenger circulation distances by anchoring the transit nodes
around a central retail concourse. Column free spaces simplify
wayfinding and allows direct sunlight deep into the station
and subway platform, reducing the need for artificial light.

Our collaborative & strategic approach

Sheppard West Station is planned with column-free

space and the curvaceous roof includes shaded
glazing to ensure controlled natural light penetrates
to the platform level below.

The Highway 407 Station responds to the surrounding site

by merging the boundaries between internal and external
spaces introducing landscaping deep into the building.

Cleveland Clinic
Abu Dhabi, UAE

The 250,000 sq m hospital will provide high-end, world-class

cardiothoracic care and will be operated by the world-renowned
Cleveland Clinic Foundation from Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Our
commission was to develop the tender and construction design
information to allow a contractor to price and execute the work.
The project involved extensive collaboration across Aedas offices
on three continents.

3.3

Yuny Mixed-Use Development

So Paulo, Brazil

The Yuny Mixed-Use Development is a 138,000 sq m mixed-use

complex including residential, office and retail programme along with
an integrated internal public square. Aedas plan for the site features
an iconic commercial office building and provides semi-public
outdoor areas for the community. The project is being developed
as a collaboration between our So Paulo and New York offices.

3.4

Future Construction
Demonstrator

The Computational Design Group of Aedas R&D is working on

a collaborative research project with the Fraunhofer Institute
for Industrial Engineering IAO to investigate new construction
concepts for the future. The first demonstrations that have
been developed combine the algorithmic approach of the
Computational Design Group with the virtual reality technology
developed by the Fraunhofer IAO. The result is an immersive,
interactive design simulator, that allows stakeholders to participate
in negotiation between various concerns and constraints at an
early-stage diagrammatic level. The applications were showcased
live at BAU Munich 2011.

STAR Performance Venue (CCRC)

Singapore

The Civic, Cultural and Retail Complex is located within the Vista Xchange precinct
of One-North, Singapore. The development comprises of cultural, civic & retail
uses and when complete will provide a premier entertainment, lifestyle and retail
experience for One-North and the wider Singapore community. The design of the
complex does not present one singular expression to describe the project. Instead it
celebrates the rich and varying activities inside with a multi-faceted ephemeral and
dynamic design, blurring the boundaries between the public, energetic civic node
within One-North and beyond.

high-tech park.
Sandcrawler, named after the towering mining machines
first seen in its 1977 hit Star Wars: A New Hope, will boast
a 100-seat theatre, state-of-the-art production facilities
and of course, Star Wars-themed decor. The 22,500 sq m
building will be completed at the end of 2012, and will be
home for Lucasfilms TV and feature film arm Lucasfilm
Animation, its special effects arm Industrial Light & Magic
Singapore, and its LucasArts video games unit.
