Doha Convention Center + TowerDoha, QatarJAHN

The Doha Convention Center and Tower consists of two built expressions. A vertical 550 meter Tower rising with an elegant yet dramatic taper, topped with a structural helix, and a horizontal 300,000 square meter Convention Center consisting of a floating roof punctuated by circular skylights throughout.

Amid the ongoing construction of DCC+T, the client requested functional and pro-grammatic changes to the west end of the Convention Center. Frederick was part of the architecture team charged with redesigning the Grand Lobby, Multi-Function Hall and Ballroom, along with the supportive spaces (pre-function spaces, restaurant, administrative offices, restrooms, prayer rooms, etc.)

Frederick’s various roles include development and coordination of floor plans, build-ing elevations, interior elevations, sections and reflected ceiling plans. The com-plexity of this project requires significant coordination between various building systems consultants (Mechanical, Structural, Lighting, Interior Design, etc.) He is also responsible for the vertical transportation design and detail drawings. Frederick worked extensively on the production of various physical model CAD files and pre-sentation drawings for workshops, meetings, and client presentations.

Shanghai International Financial CenterShanghai, ChinaMurphy/Jahn Architects

At the heart of Shanghai’s Century Plaza in the financial district, Shanghai In-ternational Financial Center is currently under-construction. Composed of three individual towers for the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), the China Financial Futures Exchange (CFFE), and the China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation (CSDCC), the beauty of this project lies in the powerfully connect-ed, unified complex addressing the three unique corporate images as iconic beacons of finance.

Frederick’s architectural roles included development and detail drawings for the various feature stairs and escalators in the three tower complex. He also pro-duced interior finishes rendered elevations and plans, as well sprinkler layouts for the CFFE tower.

Role: ArchitectPhase: Detail and Design DevelopmentFebruary 2012 - June 2012

Nanjing Tower and PodiumNanjing, ChinaMurphy/Jahn Architects

The Vertical and Horizontal gestures of Nanjing Tower and Podium emerge as in-dependent sculptural forms, integrated with cutting edge structural engineering and building skins. The composition is provocative yet minimal. Each buildings’ form and shell are designed for the highest efficiency both functionally and aesthetically, re-sulting in a new standard of transparency, ecology, comfort and use.

Frederick worked primarily on the development and coordination of the podium floor plans including structural, facade, egress, life-safety, and mechanical systems con-sultant coordination. He assisted in form generation and structural tube layout for the Podium using Grasshopper and Rhino software. Frederick was also responsible for vertical transportation coordination for the tower and podium including elevator matrix and general stair configurations; as well as the development and coordination of the reflected ceiling plans.
