Peripheral to the documentation of the Gohar Khatoon School in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan, I set out to document the pulse of the city and its surroundings.

The Kimbell’s new Piano pavilion stands alone as an elegant, restrained architectural statement. However, it’s true force in my opinion is how it strikes a very delicate balance between it and the existing Kahn Pavilion.

Thank you to Architectural Record for the interview and helping promote architecture that leads to social change.

I spent several weeks documenting not only the temporary buildings on the expo site, but the Chinese opening themselves to the world through this event.

This building’s tour de force is its intricate facade, designed in collaboration with Olafur Eliason. It creates a cathedral-like quality of light that is enhanced by the low angle sun at Reykjavik’s latitude.
