The Damen Green Line station at Lake Street and Damen Avenue, a major development reconnecting a Chicago neighborhood last serviced in 1948, celebrated its grand opening yesterday. "This long-awaited Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) station is a transformative achievement for Chicago’s Near West Side,” says Mayor Brandon Johnson. “This visually stunning new station will enhance affordable and convenient transportation options for residents and help attract future investments that will make Chicago’s West Side a vibrant hub of residential, retail, entertainment, and public spaces." A mural by artist Folayemi Wilson celebrates the rich history of the Near West Side's diverse communities, capturing the spirit of hope and future possibilities. This project, a collaboration with the City of Chicago, Chicago Department of Transportation, #CTA, and F.H. Paschen, is a testament to what thoughtful design can achieve. 

This new sustainability standard is a game-changer for sports and entertainment venues Arenas and other large assembly venues around the world host millions of fans annually at concerts and sporting events, resulting in massive social and environmental impacts. The Olympic Games, for instance, generate an estimated 4,500 tons of waste. Until recently, owners and operators didn’t have a clear roadmap toward sustainability, making net zero operations seem out of reach. But a new platform called #GOAL (Green Operations and Advanced Leadership) is changing that. GOAL helps venues set sustainability targets, track progress in areas like water consumption and waste generation, and offers benefits like networking opportunities and access to industry experts.

Designing a new civic heart: True North Square transforms a downtown parking lot into a pedestrian-focused, climate-responsive development, establishing Winnipeg, Manitoba, as a premier sports and entertainment district. Our public realm design reflects Winnipeg's unique spirit, offering a range of amenities and open spaces for a year-round, 24/7 urban experience. Embracing Winnipeg’s challenging climate—famous for harsh winters and hot, humid summers—True North Square creates meaningful connections between the urban environment and its community. Enhanced access to public transit, enclosed waiting areas, and walkable design elements encourage alternative transportation. With a people-first approach, buildings are strategically designed to capture sunlight in open spaces, while the Skywalk and podia shield from the wind. This makes the square a memorable public space for outdoor activities, accommodating everything from skating and curling in the winter to concerts and farmers' markets in the summer.

In this third installment of Technically Speaking, Moojan Kalbasi, a senior associate and project director in our London studio, shares her experience working on The Stage—a mixed-use scheme in the heart of Shoreditch that has revitalized a previously inaccessible part of London known for its vibrant urban culture and creative energy. As the design evolved over a decade to adapt to the changing cityscape and important archaeological finds, Moojan’s family also grew alongside its construction with the arrival of her two children. The centerpiece of the development is the Museum of Shakespeare, featuring a glass stage constructed to float above the archaeological remains of one of Shakespeare’s earliest theatres, predating The Globe. #technicallyspeaking #technicaldesign

Orlando, Florida is experiencing a significant transformation with a slew of new projects reshaping the city’s landscape and regional connections. Visions for Lake Eola Park and 30 South Orange are at the heart of this change, designed to enhance the city’s natural beauty and urban ecology while establishing gathering spaces.
