AT&T Center for the Performing Arts

The Pantages Place development sought to create a landmark in the heart of Toronto. The proposed development was a mixed-use commercial and residential building including the AT&T Centre for the Performing Arts, comprised of the 2200-seat Pantages Theatre and a new 1400-seat theatre and Pantages Tower, a high-rise that contained a hotel and condominiums.

The initial phase of the development was to contain 5 levels of belowgrade parking, an expansion to the exisitng Pantages Theatre stage, a new, 1400-seat theatre, the tower core to the 9th floor, street related retail, a residential lobby and a hotel lobby.

The second phase was to include a 41-storey, 419 foot tower combining up-scale condominiums and a four-start hotel. The 313-room hotel was to be located in the lower 25 levels of the building, while the 192 condominium units occupied the upper 16 floors. The structure was to consist of a structural concrete frame clad with precast concrete panels with fenestration and a glazed curtainwall.

The project was projected to be completed by 2000.

Atrium On The Plaza

  • CA CAC 58-1-251
  • Subseries
  • between 1978 and 1980
  • Part of Moshe Safdie

The name of this project was derived from its location, adjacent to a "plaza" shopping center outside of downtown Kansas City, and the design of the units which have as their focal point a two-story, 200 square foot glass enclosed atrium. The project is composed of forty luxury condominium units positioned on a steeply sloped site. Because of the slope, uphill units will have spectacular views over the roofs of the buildings below. In addition, the slope helps to enclose internal gardens and outdoor terraces which open directly from the atrium to afford more privacy for its residents. The highlighted enclosed atrium can be used as a green house or garden room extension of the living area, and also serves as a solar collector during the winter months. During the summer it is protected from overheating by a retractable exterior shade.

Bar Ilan University Dormitory

  • CA CAC 58-1-10004
  • Subseries
  • between 1979 and 1984
  • Part of Moshe Safdie

The Bar Ilan University master plan that Moshe Safdie designed was for the School of Economics and the Student Dormitories. It was planned as an urban system composed of open quadrangles defined by buildings and urban thorough fares which branched out to secondary roads and other squares. The School of Economics is an 8-storey multi-purpose building that is terraced, providing shade for the main campus walkway by its overhangs. The Student Dormitories, accommodating about 200 students, consist of a 2-storey living area around which the bedrooms are clustered. Overall, the dorms reach 6 storeys in height, stacking three terraced apartment units together, with the public spaces facing the academic quadrangle and the private spaces facing the south.

Ben Gurion International Airport - Airside Terminal

  • CA CAC 58-1-530
  • Subseries
  • between 1995 and 2004
  • Part of Moshe Safdie

This new airport serves as Israel's principal gateway and represents the country's most optimistic aspirations. A landside complex accommodates ticketing, customs, immigration, and baggage claim; Safdie's airside complex includes a glazed connector and rotunda accommodating food, retail facilities, and passenger services, with concourses radiating outwards to landing gates.

More than 16 million passengers per year travel through this entry to the nation, which is expressed in a clean palette of glass, warm stone, and metal. Departing passengers check in and descend through the connector into the rotunda, then down the concourses to their gates. Arriving passengers ascend through bridges at the gates to a mezzanine level that overlooks the concourses and the rotunda, then descend toward passport control through the connector.

Traversed by arriving and departing visitors, the glass-enclosed scissor-shaped ramps dramatize the ideal of open borders and serve as a ceremonial gateway in both directions.

The airport's rotunda features an inverted dome pierced by an oculus through which a waterfall flows. Falling rain drains toward the dome's center, entering the rotunda through the oculus. In the dry season, a continuous flow of water washes the roof, helping to cool the rotunda and create a fountain through the oculus.

Bishan Residential Development (Sky Habitat)

  • CA CAC 58-1-xx
  • Subseries
  • between 2011 and 2015
  • Part of Moshe Safdie

Located in the neighborhood of Bishan, a residential area in the suburban heartland of Singapore, this 38-story residential complex explores the balance of high-density living with humanistic concepts of community, landscape, gardens, and daylight.

Breaking down the scale of typical singular tower residential development, the community-based solution of Sky Habitat is a three-dimensional matrix of homes with private terraces, balconies, and common gardens, bringing landscape into the air and maintaining porosity on the skyline. The complex's strong stepped form recalls the community texture of ancient hillside developments and provides for lush vertical greenery, multiple orientations relative to the sun, naturally ventilated units, and generous views, all without compromising planning or structural efficiency.

Three bridging sky gardens link the two stepping towers and create a series of interconnected streets, gardens, and terraces in the air, which provide a variety of areas for common recreation and congregation. As a result, the overall mass is porous and open, allowing breezes to flow through and daylight to penetrate deep into the structure. The stepping geometry allows every residence multiple orientations and a private outdoor space, resulting in a more humane and delicate urban fabric.

At the ground plane, above a sunken parking podium, more than 70 percent of the site is developed into a series of lush gardens, which offer additional outdoor event areas, swimming pools, a tennis court, and walking paths.
