Notable buildingsedit
Tall and supertall buildingsedit
Al Hamra Toweredit
Al Hamra Tower in Kuwait City, completed in 2011, is an example of Haney and his team's use of building information modeling (BIM) technologies.[5][6] With 77 floors and 412 meters (1,351 ft) tall, it is the tallest building in Kuwait.[7] The building won a Merit Award from the New York chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 2013.[8]
Other notable tall building projects underway, completed, or design-stage submissions by Haney include the Manhattan West Development, Zhong Hong Tower, Shum Yip Upperhills,[9] Longgang Tian’an Cyber Park, International Gem Tower, Baccarat Hotel and Residences, New York, and Al Sharq Tower.
Civic and government buildingsedit
Ottawa Embassyedit
Haney was lead architect with David Childs on the United States Embassy in Ottawa, Ontario, dedicated by President Clinton in October 1999. The design had to be completely changed after the Oklahoma City bombing required a more secure building. The building's glazed facade was eliminated, and some walls are four feet thick. According to architecture critic Benjamin Forgey, Childs and Haney managed to build the structure "like a bunker, without making it look like one".[10][11]
U.S. Census Bureau Headquartersedit
The new U.S. Census Bureau Headquarters in Suitland, Maryland, officially opened in 2007, was designed to accommodate a workforce that fluctuates because of the periodic nature of the census,[12] had to be constructed around operational structures,[13] and was limited to eight stories by site regulations. Essentially two buildings hewn from a central mass, it is 1,200 meters (3,937 feet) long.[14] The design uses laminated wood on the facade, seeking to make those inside feel as if they are in a woodland.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] The building won a Green Good Design award from the Chicago Athenaeum in 2009[23] and an Award of Excellence in Architecture from the Washington chapter of the AIA in 2012.[24]
Smithsonian National Museum of American History renovationedit
Haney led the $85 million renovation of the National Museum of American History, part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.[25] The highly trafficked museum, with nearly 3 million visitors in 2005, was closed the following year for the renovation, which increased light by creating a five-story atrium and re-organized 300,000 square feet of exhibition space around the original Star-Spangled Banner. It reopened in November 2008.[26][27][28] The renovation won an Award of Merit at the 2013 AIA Washington D.C. Design Awards.[29][30]
