CityCenter in Las Vegas. The iconic 60-story, 4,000-room hotel /casino will become the focal point of the Las Vegas skyline. At the heart of CityCenter, the retail and entertainment district by Studio Daniel Libeskind will feature high-end retailers, fashionable clubs, gourmet restaurants, galleries and more under a crystalline canopy of unprecedented brilliance. For the interior architecture, David Rockwell and Rockwell Group will create an experiential environment to complement the overall city scene. The designers actually hope to receive a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for this project.
MGM Mirage
A design scheme for Project CityCenter in Las Vegas
The most expensive private project ever, the MGM Mirage City Center is set to transform the strip and Las Vegas.
Transbay Transit Center in San Francisco. The terminal is part of a $983 million project that also includes demolition of the current terminal and running a temporary terminal. Transbay officials hope to open the new terminal by 2014. Transbay Transit Center aspires to become one of San Francisco’s great civic places. Its architecture is open, full of light and clean air, and environmentally sustainable - a futuristic quarter-mile-long structure that would extend above First and Fremont streets and would be topped by a 5.4-acre park. transforming the roof of the Transit Center into a public park. The park also actively improves the environment around the Transit Center, absorbing pollution from bus exhaust, treating and recycling water, and providing a habitat for local wildlife. Sustainability is at the heart of our proposal.
Michael : Thank you for reading my post. Indeed Michael Graves is a great architect specially as he is not only a designer architect but also an interior designer for the majority of his projects. Such wide range for furnishing and artifacts,from furniture and lightning fixture to jewelry and dinnerware... He is a unique, complex and accomplished Architect.
The two projects I featured in my blog are worth mentioning for the fact that for the first time we see the Environmental Architecture Design at work on such scale. And I am happy to see that !
Michael, Ready for Christmas? thanks for all the comments you left over time on my blog... Here is http://www.pcparch.com/flash.cfmthe website. Cesar Pelli is a veteran of modern Architecture. ENJOY!
Arina - thank you for sharing this post in the Buildings Architecture and Dings group. I love the combination of cutting edge design and LEEDS certification. I particularly like the San Francisco transit center for the park above the building - what a treat not only for those who use the park but for everyone looking down on it.
No, I am far from ready for Christmas. The fourth quarter has been abnormally busy and I've not bought 1 darn thing this year... So, it'll probably be the 23rd before I actually go shopping. You?
