We talk often about how physical places have the power to create connection between people, and we can think of few better examples today than stadiums-where individuals come together to relax, cheer, celebrate, and maybe indulge in a little competition. As our friends at Gensler say, that demand for in-person, connected experiences is as high as it’s ever been. We are rooting for our headquarters home team for the big game, the 49ers. What’s your most memorable stadium experience? https://hubs.li/Q02kx_zC0

The tech available to communicate architectural design has progressed to enable designers to showcase what is proposed, owners to share what they have envisaged, and users to anticipate what is coming. Stakeholders in the AEC industry can either embrace the power of a medium such as video and AI and stand out among the rest, or continue to do what they have always done. A simple choice.

Massive #Redevelopment Proposed to Replace Cineplex Queensway Cinemas Since 2001, Cineplex Cinemas’ largest location has been a popular mainstay at The Queensway and Islington Avenue in #Etobicoke. Now, while theatres have struggled to rebuild their audience post-pandemic, a colossal proposal at the location is poised to reshape this area of South #Etobicoke. Designed by WZMH Architects for Talisker Corporation, this masterplanned community would introduce a mix of #residential, #commercial, #institutional, and public spaces across a series of buildings ranging from 7 to 46 storeys. The #development would achieve a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 6.0. The plan includes substantial amenity offerings with 8,680m² of indoor and 9,048m² of outdoor amenities. Each of the #residential towers would be serviced by four elevators, resulting in approximately one elevator for every 106 units, indicating just above average wait times, while the central and northern #commercial buildings would have two and three elevators respectively.

We are thrilled to unveil our visionary design to bring back to life a 200m stretch of unused Victorian rail viaduct, formerly part of the Metropolitan Line of the London Underground. This project was created for a conceptual design competition, and it was exhibited as part of the Hammersmith Summer Festival. Drawing inspiration from the iconic New York Highline, our mission was to reimagine a disused railway track, infusing it with vibrancy and purpose to become a bustling destination for residents, local employees, and tourists. Our masterplan and architectural design embodies a vision of inclusivity and engagement, featuring four distinct activity platforms: 🌿 The Social Platform: A dynamic space serving as a hub for community gatherings, linking seamlessly with the renowned Lyric Square and Theatre. 🎭 The Performance & Entertainment Platform: Offering a stage for outdoor theatre, cinema, and live music, this platform transforms open-air spaces into captivating venues for cultural experiences and entertainment. 🏃 The Wellbeing & Activity Platform: Promoting an active lifestyle, this space invites individuals to engage in outdoor recreation, fostering a sense of health and vitality within the urban landscape. 🌆 The Viewing Platform: As the crowning jewel of the Highline, this platform offers panoramic views of London's skyline and breathtaking sunsets. Facing West, it serves as a picturesque window into the bustling city below. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we prioritised noise reduction and the minimisation of air pollution from the existing infrastructure. Living walls, reaching heights of up to 4m, and a line of robust trees act as natural air filters, nurturing biodiversity along the viaduct. Additionally, localised waterfalls serve a dual purpose, mitigating background train noise and providing a cooling respite during the summer months.

In this article I share some thoughts about stadium design. As we look towards the future of stadiums, it is clear that these iconic structures are evolving far beyond their traditional role as mere sports venues. LaBella Associates @sportsarchitecture @stadiumdesign @architecture @venues

The challenges in building UK’s ‘most sustainable’ entertainment venue When the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Nicki Minaj and the Eagles appear at the newly constructed, £365 million Co-Op Live arena in Manchester later this year, they’ll be performing in what is claimed to be the UK’s ‘most sustainable’ entertainment venue. The opening of the venue is running behind schedule - originally slated for April this year, it has now been pushed back to May because it is still testing procedures for handling largescale audiences.

Great to be part of a project delivering such modern construction techniques, just goes to show what can be achieved with good planning and design a real credit to all involved.
