The SEED

At the end of April 2026, West Bund Central Phase II, at the northern reach of Shanghai's Xuhui Waterfront cultural corridor, officially opened, with “THE SEED”, the world’s first double-curved twisted glulam dome, as the spiritual landmark of the neighborhood — opening its doors to the public.

Roger Williams Park Gateway Center

Located in Providence, Rhode Island, the Roger Williams Park Gateway Center opened in October, 2022 and provides a new urban park, visitor center, and northern entry point into the historic Roger Williams Park. The site marks the midpoint of a cultural corridor that began to form over 60 years ago, transitioning into a diverse and proud Latino community.

Miami City View Garage

To “reverse the curve”, we must necessarily aim for a positive ecological impact through our built environment. Alice Turazza In exploring th... More
