| Dan Marcucci MLA'92 PhD'98 has returned to academics after several years in the nonprofit world by joining the planning faculty as assistant professor at East Carolina University.

Baldev Lamba MLA'81 announces the opening of the First Ladies Water Garden, the main showpiece in the new 3-acre National Garden and the latest addition to the landscape on the Mall in Washington, DC. The garden is based on the award-winning design of Lamda and his team, including Alison Towers MArch'84, and is inspired by the geometric shapes and patterns of Persian gardens in the royal palaces of India. The Washington Post called it "an eye-catching terrace in which granite mosaics submerged in water have been formed into motifs recalling quilt patterns familiar to Martha Washington." |
| Greg Pearce MArch'88 designed the first addition to one of the world’s best known buildings, the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank Headquarters in Hong Kong, which recently opened to the public. Pearce is the co-founder of One Space, an architecture and technology design firm established in Hong Kong in 2004. Numerous press accounts on the project and the designers focus on why the world’s third largest bank appointed a young, but quickly growing practice, and emphasize the company’s unusual interdisciplinary design service aimed specifically at banks and hedge funds. |
