Disney’s new Hudson Square Headquarters, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, doesn’t conform to the company’s image of whimsy and play: It’s an understated and sophisticated New York office building, and a good one. curbed.com/article/disney-hu…

Hangzhou Wangchao Center, designed by @SOM_Design, is a 288-meter-tall building in Hangzhou, China. It’s the second tallest building in the district and serves as a gateway to the city. The building is an example of smart, transit-oriented development and features sustainable, resilient design. The site also has a welcoming open space at street level and is set to become a new gathering place for the district.
The tower’s unique geometry and structure create a sense of openness at every level. Floor plates vary with the undulating shape of the building, but each follows the same interior rhythm, revolving around the central core clad in travertine. Two sky lobbies on the 23rd and 44th floors serve as communal lounges for tenants, while the crown offers an additional amenity space for gatherings and events.

This is an exciting project and awesome design by SOM. I met Bill Baker - who did the tallest building in the world - from SOM this week and was blown away by his talent and modesty..
