The project is a state-of-the-art performing arts center, built on the site of the historic, 1934 Beverly Hills Post Office. The center contains the 500-seat Goldsmith Theater, where every seat is intimately connected to the performance space. The historic post office building contains a 120-seat Lovelace Studio Theater, where ideas will be tested, workshopped, and developed into world-class material. The historic building also contains an education center with classrooms, administrative offices, and the main entry for theatre patrons, including a box office and concessions facility. A garden and courtyard connect the historic with the new building with direct visual connection to the shops and restaurants of downtown Beverly... More

WZMH Architects and HDR Architects collaborated with Spring Valley Corp. to fulfill the design requirements of this unique Government of Canada project. CSEC required a building that would support cutting-edge technology and human creativity, and promote a culture of teamwork and collaboration. To fulfil this objective, Spring Valley created a translucent panel called “iTrans”. Age- old logs were sourced from the depths of Georgian Bay and then sliced into 0.40mm thick veneer. They were laminated into panels which allow light to come through the wood, creating an amazingly warm glow. To create the structure, the curved frame was built with tubular structural steel that was shaped to extremely tight tolerances. The entire structur... More

ULMA Architectural Solutions has successfully tackled a very special project that has pushed its abilities to the limit. This is an important project, where the level of customisation and the adjustments made at all levels have been highly demanding. Its ability to adapt to different needs was key to the success of one of its most demanding projects: The manufacture and installation of the west facade of the new Museum of Image and Sound in Rio de Janeiro (MIS/RJ), which, with a composition of more than 100,000 polymer concrete panels, portrays the face of Carmen Miranda. With the opening scheduled for this year, on Copacabana beach, the new headquarters of MIS/RJ has been designed by the award-winning New York studio Diller... More

Burj Khalifa, formerly Burj Dubai, at the center of a large-scale development, is the tallest building in the world. The design combines cultural influences with cutting-edge technology to achieve a high-performance building. Its massing is manipulated in the vertical dimension to minimize the impact of wind on the tower's movement. The design for the 270,000 square meter Burj Khalifa (formerly Burj Dubai) combines historical and cultural influences with cutting edge technology to achieve a high-performance building. Some of these technologies are: * High performance glazing with Low E coating: A low-emissivity glass provides Burj Khalifa with enhanced thermal insulation against high ambient temperatures of Dubai. *...

The concept of this small garden in the outskirts of Warsaw (Poland), implemented on an L-shape plot, extends the interior to the outside. The water feature and the ornamented corten steel panels provide a focal point from the panoramic door in the living room. The low couches on both sides of the water feature have been made of bangkirai wood, which is also used on the raised deck attached to the house. The fireplace surrounded by undulating seats has been placed near the BBQ area, which is hidden in the corner of the garden The modern gazebo on the opposite corner of the plot has been made of a combination of laminated beams and bangkirai planks, matching the white seats, couches and the deck.
