Taking heart

Article Abstract:

Betsy Williams and Melissa Harris of the University of Michigan's College of Architecture and Urban Planning organized graduate and undergraduate students in creating an exhibition design for the international conference 'Shelter, Women, and Development: First and Third World Perspectives.' An inside/outside concept was adapted for the 3,600-sq ft university gallery. The central exhibition structure was in birch veneer and created three perimeter walls for the photographs, collages and murals. The fiberboard and stud interior was left unfinished and served as a display board.

Staff offices

Article Abstract:

Linda Allen and Frank Zavala designed the downtown Los Angeles office for the Magic Johnson Enterprises. The 2,700-sq-ft space serves as headquarters for the ex-pro basketball player and businessman's commercial real estate and sports-related ventures. Allen and Zavala sought to enhance the illusion of height and space by utilizing color-corrected incandescent lights set among maple wall panels. Neutral colors and an eclectic assortment of art were also chosen to create a welcoming ambience.
