The ASBPA American Shore and Beach Preservation Association is dedicated to the protection, restoration and management of the shores and beaches of U.S. bays, harbors, oceans and great lakes. Dynamic revetments provide a nature-based approach to controlling erosion in high wave energy environments. On August 29, SmithGroup coastal and waterfront engineering experts Mauricio Wesson and Mark Wagstaff will take the stage at the ASBPA's National Coastal Conference to share insight regarding a new type of dynamic revetment that can help to mitigate coastal erosion hazards in certain locations. #WHOVA #coastalengineering #coastalpreservation #shorelineprotection #designabetterfuture

Working across 20 offices in the U.S. and China, our network of 1,400 experts is committed to excellence in strategy, design and delivery—giving rise to new and innovative processes and methodologies that are redefining the way we work. Our integrated practice offers depth in all disciplines serving the built and natural environment, including architecture, engineering (coastal, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing), landscape architecture, urban design and environmental science. Our specialists—from artists and engineers, to nurses, workplace strategists and beyond—develop beautiful, sustainable, future-focused solutions for healthcare providers, science and technology organizations, higher education and cultural institutions, urban environments, diverse workplaces, mixed-use and waterfront developments, and parks and open spaces. Blending artistry, technology, planning, research and strategy, we partner with clients to up-end disruptors redefining their businesses and solve challenges impacting their worlds. Whether tasked to develop a business model, workflow processes, a campus master plan, a building, an energy model, or a strategic plan, our integrated team of experts relentlessly explores and refines until they arrive at a solution that realizes success at every scale of a project.

SPOTLIGHT - CITY HALLS & CIVIC CENTERS -- Federal funding programs to replace, renovate or repair public and municipal assets are on the rise across the U.S. -- and efforts to build or repair city halls are garnering much attention. No matter its location, the local city hall is often intended to meet a somewhat similar range of business and community needs. But the purpose of each city hall is quite unique -- rooted in and shaped by its community and the people, culture, values, traditions, history and shared experiences that make it special. In this article, SmithGroup's Juhee Cho and Michelle Ray explore the role of the civic center within today's modern and evolving communities. Citing four recent civic center projects encompassing varied geographic locations, programs, budgets and needs, the authors share how the unique aspirational and functional visions of each community gave rise to a range of design solutions that reflect the diverse communities in which these facilities are found.

This past week, our team celebrated a significant milestone in our partnership with Texas Woman's University (TWU) at the topping out ceremony for its new Health Sciences Center on its Denton campus. The introduction of a new Health Science Center is a watershed moment for the University and will further help establish TWU as leaders in healthcare education as its College of Health Sciences continues to experience rapid growth in enrollment. In our continued collaboration with TWU and our fellow project partners, we look forward to bringing design elements to life that reinforce the University's motto, "We learn to do by doing," through the creation of state-of-the-art experiential clinical learning environments for the College and its rapidly growing programs. #HigherEducation #DesignABetterFuture

General Motors continues to set new world standards in automotive and electric vehicle design and performance, and it has been electrifying for the SmithGroup team to work in partnership with the iconic, global organization to design and deliver the new Cadillac House at Vanderbilt. Located on the General Motors Global Technical Center campus in Warren, Michigan, this state-of-the-art facility will offer CELESTIQ clients an unprecedented experience in personalized, ultra-luxury automotive design. SmithGroup designers gracefully express Saarinen’s signature modernist style through carefully weighted proportions, elongated horizontal orientation, and purity of materials such as travertine and terrazzo slabs, wood panels and stainless-steel details. Cadillac House includes a turntable to display cars, video walls, casts of the Cadillac Goddess emblem, designers’ workspaces and conference tables, and space to display multiple vehicles. Several (anonymous) Cadillac CELESTIQ buyers have had the chance to sit down with GM designers to personalize their cars. Now, it's time to wait and see which proud new owner debuts their car first.
