 PDI Designing a Major Addition for the Busan Exhibition and Convention CenterThe Busan Exhibition and Convention Center (BEXCO) has commissioned Minneapolis based Parker Design International (PDI) to lead the architectural design for their 250,000 square foot expansion, scheduled to open in 2012.Busan is the second largest city in Korea, and since 2008, the most popular exhibition and conference destination in Korea. PDI is working with BEXCO to create a state-of-the-art green venue that will include a new 200,000 square foot exhibition hall, a 20,000 square foot multipurpose room, a 4,000 seat auditorium, and underground parking for 2,000 cars to complement the existing 850,000 square foot facility. PDI is teamed with Heerim Architects and Hyundai Construction Company for this project. Parker Design International (PDI) designed the existing award-winning Busan Exhibition and Convention Center in 1997. The existing convention center is a dramatic building with an 800 foot long glass hall that rises to a height of 165 feet with panoramic views of a neighboring park, and the largest column-free exhibition hall in Korea. "Our staff has extensive experience with designing convention centers in Asia, particularly Korea," said Steve Huh, Chairman and CEO of PDI. "We combine beauty and functionality in unique ways - ways appropriate to the locale, the people, and the environment. That's why our convention centers become landmarks, and that's why BEXCO has come to us again for this important addition." added by Levent OZLER |
 Harris A. Smith Building at Clemson UniversityStudents and researchers at Clemson University are participating in the country's only university program that ties together packaging science, graphic communications, environmental science, manufacturing principles, and marketing aspects.The multidisciplinary program began early this year in the new $7 million Harris A. Smith Building, home to the Sonoco Institute of Packaging Design and Graphics. Designed by architecture firm Lord, Aeck & Sargent in collaboration with Michael Keeshen & Associates, the 28,000-square-foot structure is on track to become Clemson's first U.S. Green Building Council certified LEED Gold building. The building was specifically sited and designed to actively relate to the buildings around it, and to engage the people who occupy it as well as those who circulate through and connect in this emerging campus precinct. "Just as the Sonoco Institute is about the connection of a wide variety of disciplines, our siting and design of the Harris A. Smith Building is about connection, too - intentional campus connection," said Joe Greco, Lord, Aeck & Sargent principal in charge of the project. more Harris A.

 RIBA Research Symposium 2009: Changing PracticesNow in its fourth year, the Royal Institute of British Architects' annual Research Symposium has become an important fixture in the architectural community's calendar.Following the success of 2008's symposium on space standards, this year's event turns its attention to the subject of the profession itself, at a time when architects have had to look at and question the ways in which they operate. Titled Changing Practices, the Symposium will provide a context for those discussions, presenting the challenges and opportunities for architectural practice; it will explore how practice evolved in the past, operates in the present, and might change in the future. The Symposium will be organised in four sessions: the Evolution of Practice, the Organisation of Practice, the Politics of Practice, and the Future of Practice. event (ended) current design events more info www.arc...
