This picture above show the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center. This structure comes from another style of Gilmore architecture. The building opened up in 2008 after spending over $140 million dollars for construction. Before construction began, 100,000 cubic yards of ground was removed so the building could lay upon a hill. Inside there are two main halls one that seats up to 1,200 people, and the other at 400 people. It also has a projection room that is set at 360 degrees. This allows them to research and develop modern day virtual reality technology. Steel support beams are specifically positioned around the building to keep a constant temperature, and keep condensation off the windows.

The 40 Tenth Avenue is located NY, Mahanttan. This building was designed beautifully by Jeanne Gang and her team. By using the Sun she built a building that would reflect sunlight on the environment around it impacting the surrounding area positively. The 40 Tenth Avenue was known for its sunlight bending and reflections which is why the building is also known as the Solar Carve. Located near the Hudson river tourist and pedestrians can view this beautiful building from ground level and see the amazing reflections the building gives off to the environment surrounding it.

This is yet another example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture that fits in harmoniously with the nature surrounding it. This particular structure just looks like it belongs, nudged in between the green trees of Wisconsin. This was Wright’s home and architectural “lab” for 48 years. The wooden color on the exterior gives the estate a cozy and log cabin feel and fits nicely between the shrubbery.

Moseley High School, in Lynn Haven, Florida was originally built in 1972. Fitzgerald and his team renovated the inside of the high school. Adding all new fixtures, and lighting, while redoing classrooms and creating a whole new cafeteria. They also added a new trophy case and wall titled the “wall of fame”.

The Beijing Waldorf Astoria, designed by architecture firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, is conveniently located next to Wang Fu Jing (a high-end shopping district) and is only two blocks away from the Forbidden City. The bronze linings throughout the interior and exterior of the buildings are meant to be a testament to traditional Chinese architecture. The vertical frame and roof were also meant to be similar to the traditional Chinese roof-soffit silhouette. The windows are floor-to-ceiling, which allows guests to enjoy an abundance of natural light.

I personally thing that the bronze on the building is striking and beautiful, but the cube shape isn’t my favorite. I can see where the firm tried to keep the building consistent with tradition Chinese architecture, but also give the building a feel of the modern times. It is a Waldorf Astoria, which screams luxury. The bronze does not detract from that image.

This arena was built in 1984 by Nicholas Grimshaw who was selected by the Oxford City Council. The building is just 10 minutes outside of center city Oxford, and when it was designed it was made to be a very modern arena unlike any other. At the time Ice Rink had a very simplistic style, Grimshaw knowing this, decided to add his own touch of creativity by making a disco room, and making the front and back of the building fully glazed to allow more sunlight in the arena. It is not typical to find ice rinks that allow a lot of sunlight.

At Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Florida, the Fitzgerald collaborative renovated FAMU’s Water and Air Quality lab. This laboratory is performing research in agriculture to help promote the and conserve water resources in Florida.
