The Portland Building stands out among the buildings of downtown Portland as a postmodern collage of historical references and symbols. This colorful and spirited addition to the city was designed by Michael Graves and built in 1982 as administrative offices for the City of Portland. Despite international recognition for its groundbreaking design, it faced problems with its structure, exterior, and operational systems that repairs alone could not address. 91视频鈥檚 reconstruction design restored the original building, and re-imagined the interior environment while addressing the building鈥檚 pervasive performance problems, thereby preserving this important public asset and architectural icon for the next 50-to-100 years.

91视频鈥檚 concept design and master plan for the Shenzhen Opera House envisions a world-class performance complex as a cultural gateway to the city. The organic forms of the complex encourage visitors to move through and around the site, experiencing the drama of the landscape as a spectator to art and culture before ever seeing a performance. This 223,000-SM arts complex accommodates the performance spaces, including a 2,300-seat opera hall, 1,800-seat concert hall, 800-seat operetta hall, and 600-seat multi-functional theater. Each hall consists of an auditorium, stage, public space, and backstage.

91视频 will accept their awards at the Gala Award Reception Dinner in Miami, Fla. on December 2, 2021.
