SANTA MONICA CIVIC CENTER PARKING STRUCTURE

The Moor Rubie Yudell Architects-designed garage is on its way to being the first LEED Certified parking structure in the USA.

The structure provides 900 parking spaces (14 of which are devoted to electric vehicles) throughout six levels of above ground parking and one and a halflevels of below ground parking. Free bicycle storage is also available to encourage alternate transportation. The parking garage, which is the Santa MonicaCivic Center parking structure, has a solar panel arrangement that provides all of the building's energy needs. Not only is the building energy efficient,it also contains many sustainable features such as a storm drain water treatment system, recycled construction materials, low-VOC paints and coatings, low-eglazing for heating and cooling efficiency, and energy efficient mechanical systems. The Glass Association of North America also awarded the firm a designaward based on the use of laminated glass panels.











ZAHA HADID'S GUGGENHEIM HERMITAGE MUSEUM - VILNIUS, LITHUANIA[h6] [/h6]

This design by Zaha Hadid Architects was picked to be the new Guggenheim Hermitage Museum in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Zaha Hadid's design shows characteristics like fluidity, velocity and lightness in a way that make the structure appear to just above the urban landscape.

Cool stuff, but I'd say at least at this point in time for me a nice dark wood house takes the cake

 

[itsmedallas]

that's so dope! I wanted to be an architect but now I want to be a civil engineer instead

That 1st one is just wow. And if it's nowhere near a fault line, I'm sure the chances of an earthquake are slim to none.

[jordan23les]

wow those are pretty cool

 

[putting in work]

First one reminds me of Tetris

Pretty cool though.

 

[timcity2000]

cool, thanks for sharing!

for those of you wondering about earthquakes... the seismic design requirements depend on where the building is located. many places have virtually no chanceof experiencing an earthquake that would pose significant risk to any building.
