TENSILE PAVILION IN BOSTON
In 1997, when the Boston Harborlights (BHL) Amphitheater faced imminent closure, those planning its replacement were sure they wanted another tent structure to house Boston's waterfront summer concert series.
BHL management and Boston-based music promoter, The Don Law Company (DLC), wanted a new facility that, like the old one, would give a feeling of being outdoors, with spectacular views of Boston Harbor, while still providing protection from the elements. — Published 2001.0725

INTEGRATING STEEL
If you have experienced delays in detailing and procuring steel, it may be because the design documents were difficult for the fabrication detailer to interpret. Or multiple changes issued after the detailing process began may have made it difficult for the draftsperson to keep up.

UK GARDEN OF EDEN
It was like a scene out of Stanislaw Lem's science fiction classic Solaris, with the swirling mists spiraling upward from a giant crater deep within the earth. Slowly, through the haze, emerged a city, no ordinary urban conurbation but an epicenter under giant geometric domes on a lunar landscape.

DESIGN WITH WRIGHT'S NATURE
Every year in early June we invite architecture students to study the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West in Arizona. It's an event filled with surprises and revelations.
It's not a history study, but a search for design principles that can be applied to today's most crucial architectural problems: 1) how to make ecological architecture the rule, not the exception, and 2) how to expand human imagination beyond common norms in problem solving and creative design. — Published 2001.0523

88 WOOD STREET BY RICHARD ROGERS
Wood Street, a relatively low-profile area within the east-central business district of London, is just emerging from its latest architectural makeover. The newest building is an important addition to the skyline designed by the Richard Rogers Partnership (RRP).
If there was one place in London to view a brief history of British architecture and the way in which one generation has reacted against the next, this street, on part of London Wall, provides the best illustration. — Published 2001.0516
