Architects is an architecture and design studio based in Goa, India that has a comprehensive approach to architectural, interior and landscape design.

Providing a high level of personalized design service is a core belief of our firm. We see each new project as a possibility of original expression and rather than being shackled to a singular style we study the specific forces at play for each individual project so that it has a truly unique solution. We believe that cultural, social and environmental sensitivity is paramount to our design process. We try to limit our environmental impact by using principles of passive solar design and recycled building materials.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Painesville hosted an information meeting for area residents and stakeholders to learn more about the bank stabilization project occurring along the west bank of the Grand River and Bank Street, in the City of Painesville, Ohio; June 14, 2022.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District dispatched personnel and resources Aug. 14 to assist the White Mountain Apache community with its limited flood risk minimization measures.

Anne Hutton, the District's chief of Emergency Management explained that the project was made possible through a provision of PL 84-99 that allows the Corps to provide technical and direct assistance in advance of a flood event when we can show an imminent threat of unusual flooding.

"A series of four storm-related floods June 28 - 29, July 2 and Aug. 11 - with debris flows from the burned watershed upstream - prompted a release of emergency funding for flood fighting measures," said Hutton.

The Cedar Creek Fire burned approximately 46,000 acres of the Fort Apace Reservation between June 17 and July 2.

"Because of the greater than average fire-related flood risk this storm season, the Corps has identified that risk reduction measures are most needed for the lower streambank areas of Cedar Creek," added Hutton.

Flood fighting measures will include strategic installation of approximately 1.5 miles of temporary protective barriers along the Cedar Creek.

The Corps provides engineering services to respond to national and natural disasters to minimize damages and help in recovery efforts.

When your area of operation covers roughly 226,000 square miles... expect to spend a lot time on the road.

Taking to the highway Jan. 25, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District Commander Col. Kirk Gibbs visited two of the more remote projects in the District inventory.

"Alamo and Painted Rock Dams are very important to the watershed and Arizona's overall flood risk management," said Gibbs. "The professionalism of our dam tenders at each of those locations and their ability to build great relationships with State Parks, as well as other agencies throughout the state, prepares us to work together in the event of extreme rain events to protect people, structures and agriculture."

Public safety is the Corps' number one priority. Flood risk management structures reduce risk, but they don’t eliminate it.

"Our dams and the surrounding land is very well maintained, added Gibbs. "The District is proud of our professionals who work hard and are dedicated to our critical mission in these remote locations. I am honored to serve alongside them."

Because of the isolation, the Corps provides two houses on each project site.

Painted Rock was completed in 1959, Alamo a decade later. In total, the Corps owns and operates nearly 700 dams nationwide.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District Arizona-Nevada Area Office in Phoenix hosted a Business Opportunities Open House March 9.

The event attracted more than 160 attendees from throughout the region. The open house featured morning and afternoon sessions with a contractor training opportunity; successful bid proposal.

"What I've found since I've been here is, it is so important to get to know our contracting partners and to build teams with them," said Col. Kirk Gibbs, District commander. "We want them to be successful, because if they're successful, we're successful."

The LA District is responsible for planning, engineering, construction, asset management, regulatory, emergency management and environmental services for three Army and eight Air Force installations, interagency and international customers, and the nation's civil water resources infrastructure in the Southwest.

"We're able to bring people together and build relationships," said Eric Ravelli, deputy for the Small Business Program. "The Corps has a mission, we have projects that we need to partner with the small business community and, frankly, the large business community."

In all, the District encompasses an area of 226,000 square miles across Southern California, southern Nevada, a slice of Utah and all of Arizona.

"In fiscal year 2016, there were $448 million in total contracts awarded," added Ravelli. "Of that, over $321 million in contracts were with small businesses, roughly 72 percent of contract awards."

Welcome To “ask design”

Established in 2000, “ask design” is the brainchild of the talented Abdul Salam Khan whose passion for design, innovation and re-invention was supplemented with formal academics in 1993 with an extensive course at the M H Saboo Siddik Polytechnic, Mumbai

His stint at Saboo Siddik was followed up with an intensive professional experience at one of the India’s leading design firm – Associated Architects. Guided by the able and renowned master Ar. Mahesh Khanolkar.

With over 22 years of design experience and 15 years of teaching experience at reputed Architectural colleges of Mumbai & Navi Mumbai. He also started his own design academy - Academy of Art & Design at Nerul, Navi Mumbai in the year 2001, where along with Interior Design courses, Fashion Design courses are also conducted.

Staunch believer of working as a team, Salam’s creative and technical staff is grouped in teams that follow projects all the way through from concept to completion. Each team comprises of team leaders and team members with expertise in various aspects like project management, visualization, design development etc. Our team of architects and designers strive constantly to create projects that stand out because of the distinct approach towards design, detail and the latest technology. Research is critical to be competitive in an ever-evolving international design market.

“ask design” believes good design is produced from careful study and research, combined with technical knowledge and artistic judgment. Attention to detail, proportions and scale, together with common sense ensure the finished product fully develops the potential within the concept. Past and current projects include commercial, residential, health clubs, spas and salons, hospitality, pharmaceutical, exhibition, institutional, mixed-use and high end residential interior projects. Extensive use of CAD and computer 3D Modeling, which is done in house, helps the client to visualize their project in the best possible manner.

All experimentation with space, light and material can then be done using this platform till the final result is achieved. “ask design” offers integrated design services for the built environment, encompassing master planning, architectural, landscape, interior, lighting and furniture design.
