Archimation is thrilled to be working with Berlin's Museum of Natural History to help them prepare ideas for future expansion.

Wie das Naturkundemuseum die Millionen investieren will Was macht das Naturkundemuseum mit 660 Millionen Euro? Geplant ist ein völlig neuer Auftritt der alten Sammlung - und ein Ausweg aus der versteckten Lage.

Perhaps not surprisingly, there is little footage or high quality photos of the new NATO HQ in Brussels, and our 2007 short intro film made for the 20th NATO Summit in Bucharest in 2008 still holds its own.
Thanks to all who helped make it!

FXFOWLE Lecture for Sustainability, Urbanism, and Design von Michael Green Architecture, 9 April 2018, Ithaca NY
"Wood is the only major building material we can build with that is grown by the sun. Its strength to weight is phenomenal, and man-made energy is only used to handle it and move it to a site. One cubic meter of wood stores one ton of carbon dioxide. The only way we address anthropogenic climate change is by storing carbon and reducing our emissions. Wood does both."

Michael Green: Increments of Change: From Early Tall Wood Buildings to a Global Movement | Cornell AAP Green is an architect known for his research, leadership, and advocacy in promoting the use of wood in the built environment.

An article on the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), Cairo, in Sunday's Luzerner Zeitung (in case you missed it ;-) ).
The article states that it's 'one of the biggest cultural projects since the Pyramids': as it doesn't specify if that just means in Egypt, we'll assume it means the entire planet!

Ägypten baut ein neues Wunder In Kairo entsteht ein gigantisches Museum, das Grand Egyptian Museum. Es ist eines der grössten Kulturprojekte seit den Pyramiden. Das Problem dabei sind nicht einmal die exorbitanten Kosten.

Tallest Mass-Timber Building in U.S. Receives Approval for Construction Planned for Portland’s Pearl District, the 12-story tall wood building called Framework has been deemed “shovel ready” by municipal and state governments.
