Museu do Amanhã. Rio de Janeiro. Sep/2016
The Museum of Tomorrow (Portuguese: Museu do Amanhã) is a science museum in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was designed by Spanish neofuturistic architect Santiago Calatrava, and built next to the waterfront at Pier Maua.
The main exhibition takes visitors through five main areas: Cosmos, Earth, Anthropocene, Tomorrow and Now via a number of experiments and experiences. The museum mixes science with an innovative design to focus on sustainable cities.
Funded by the Rio city government with support from sponsors, the building attempts to set new standards of sustainability in the municipality. Compared with conventional buildings, designers say it uses 40% less energy (including the 9% of its power it derives from the sun), and the cooling system taps deep water from nearby Guanabara Bay. The structure looks set to be one of Rio’s most famous tourist sights. Its solar spines and fan-like skylight have been designed so that the building can adapt to changing environmental conditions.[1]
The museum has partnerships with Brazil’s leading universities, global science institutions and collects real-time data on climate and population from space agencies and the United Nations. It has also hired consultants from a range of related fields, including astronauts, social scientists and climate experts. It sits waterside in a port area that was left abandoned for decades, and is now being renovated with new office blocks, apartments and restaurants.

Museu do Amanhã é um museu construído no município do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. O prédio, projeto do arquiteto espanholSantiago Calatrava, foi erguido ao lado da Praça Mauá, na zona portuária (mais precisamente no Píer Mauá).
A proposta da instituição é ser um museu de artes e ciências, além de contar com mostras que alertam sobre os perigos dasmudanças climáticas, da degradação ambiental e do colapso social. O edifício conta com espinhas solares que se movem ao longo da claraboia, projetada para adaptar-se às mudanças das condições ambientais. A exposição principal é majoritariamente digital e foca em ideias ao invés de objetos.
O museu tem parcerias com importantes universidades brasileiras, instituições científicas globais e coleta de dados em tempo real sobre o clima e a população de agências espaciais e das Nações Unidas. A instituição também tem consultores de várias áreas, como astronautas, cientistas sociais e climatologistas.
Como uma das âncoras do projeto de revitalização urbana chamado Porto Maravilha, o museu recebeu em 2015, como doação antes de sua inauguração, a escultura Puffed Star II, do renomado artista norte-americano Frank Stella. O trabalho consiste de uma estrela de vinte pontas e seis metros de diâmetro que foi instalado no espelho d’água do museu, em frente à Baía de Guanabara. A escultura metálica, antes da doação para acervo permanente a céu aberto do museu, esteve em exposição na cidade de Nova York.

955 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC.
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
Prepared by SCOTT BARRETT for Robert Lemon Architect Inc. February 22, 2004
HISTORIC PLACE DESCRIPTION
The downtown YMCA building is located on a prominent corner lot on Burrard Street in Downtown Vancouver. The building is a four storey late Moderne structure with a primary facade and entrance on Burrard Street and a secondary facade on Barclay Street.
HERITAGE VALUE
The heritage value of the YMCA building derives from its prominence along the Burrard Street corridor, and as part of a grouping of other heritage buildings in the area. The collection of heritage buildings, including the YMCA, line Burrard Street which is one of the City's ceremonial streets, and one of the busiest traffic arteries in the downtown. Set close to the street it contributes to the heritage character of Burrard Street and matches the setback, massing and scale of other heritage buildings in the area, including the Dal Grauer Sub-Station, the BC Electric Building, The First Baptist Church, St. Andrew's - Wesley Church and St. Paul's Hospital.
Significant because it is unique in style from the other heritage buildings in the area, it stands out due to its later date and Moderne styling. Designed in a style popular in Vancouver in the decade leading up to the YMCA's construction in 1940, it is expressive of a particular period of the city's history. Simple geometry and strong proportions define the architecture of the building, while strong vertical and horizontal lines, prominent corner bays and regular fenestration create an identifiable character. Built of board formed concrete, markings on the Barclay Street elevation and inside the handball courts bear witness to the method of construction. Although the building was originally to be built entirely of exposed board formed concrete, the Burrard elevation and part of the Barclay elevation is clad in light coloured brick that gives the primary facade a more formal appearance in keeping with the other structures along Burrard Street. Of further value is the association with the building designers McCarter & Nairne, who were prominent local architects and designers of the landmark Marine Building. Later additions were added, but are of less value because they lack prominence, architectural and historical value.
Of great importance is the YMCA's contribution to the community and its long historical presence in Vancouver. Having formed within six months of the incorporation of the City of Vancouver, the YMCA has a long and well-respected history within the City. Of particular importance in relation to the Burrard Street YMCA, is its direct tie the war effort of the Second World War. Not long after the outbreak of war in Europe, the YMCA extended free membership to servicemen for the service of Canadian youth at this time of crisis. Although the War caused a slow in much of the local construction, the YMCA was further motivated to build its long planned Burrard street facility so that they would have the appropriate building facilities to fulfill their promised services during the war. The building was completed in 1941 as a Red Triangle facility under the direction of the YMCA and served not only servicemen moving between postings, but also the local community with fitness, spiritual, and educational opportunities.
The YMCA continues to be valued for its active role in the community, providing employment services, ESL classes and other social services in addition to its fitness, and outreach programs. Having served as the Vancouver YMCA headquarters since opening in 1941, the downtown YMCA is a recognizable and valued landmark for downtown residents.

prominent corner location among other heritage buildings,
minimal setback from street,
form, scale and massing,
late Art Moderne architectural style,
prominent corner bays with chamfered shape,

The design of the Merewether Memorial employs the form of an Eleanor Cross and is in the English Medieval style. There are spires which could have served as a basis for the design of this memorial; for example, St. Mary at Bloxham, St. Peter at Kettering, St. Peter at Raunds and Meven St. Mary at Oxford. In fact, each one may have provided an ingredient or two for the design of this fine memorial tower.
Building designers of the time had become increasingly aware of the capabilities of Indian craftsmen, thus the skill and craftsmanship which has been available to medieval builders was also at Strachan's disposal. Strachan was no doubt aware of the intricate carving executed by native craftsmen for the baserellets designed by Kipling for the Crawford Markets and the then under construction Victoria Terminus. The Memorial shows a heightened sensitivity to detailing and an emphasis on carving and decoration, more then my other building designed by Strachan. Whereas the Empress Market's tower is a little squat, the Merewether Tower is elegant and tall, evoking memories of medieval England.
It was named for Merewether, who served as 'Commissioner-in-Sindh' from 1868 to 1877. Richard Burton, on his last visit to Karachi, paid a tribute to his friend while describing the Government House: " It is at present occupied by General Sir William L. Merewether, K.C.S.I. etc.etc.etc. an officer who, by entire devotion to the interests of his province, the scene of his distinguished career during the last thirty-three years, has made epoch' and history" (Burton 1877:1.76) Burton's opinion of Merewether's services were no doubt shared by others. Initially, a pier had been named in memory of the former 'Commissioner-in-Sindh'. Constructed by the Karachi Harbour Board, which had been formed in 1880, the Merewether Pier had cost three lakh rupees (1882). However, it was later decided that a worthy and visible memorial was in order - a memorial tower of such "prominence as to dominate the skyline of the city" to be built by public subscription. The Tower was placed at the confluence of McLeod and Bunder Road, at the extreme western end of the Serai Quarter, an area which was developed into a thriving commercial center concurrently with the rising fortunes of the city. The Memorial took eight years to complete, and was handed over to the Municipality in 1892 by 'Commissioner-in-Sindh' Evan James. The total cost of the structure and its clock was merely Rs. 37,178 compared to the Rs. 180,000 lavished on the much bigger memorial to Bartle Frere, Frere Hall.
The Memorial Tower stands on a platform 44 feet square and rises to a height of 102 feet. It prominently displays the clock placed at the base of the spire, 70 feet from the ground. Each of the clock's four faces is seven feet in diameter. The large bell installed at the time weighed three hundred weight and struck at every hour, while the smaller bells weighed one hundred weight each and marked every quarter of an hour.

Hubei Electric Engineering Corporation (HEEC) designed a CNY 172 million indoor secondary transformer station to meet Year 2030 energy demands in excess of 400,000 kilovolts (kV) in the Wuhan East Lake High Tech Zone, Hubei province, China. The scope of the work involved the layout and design of a three-story facility housing three sets of 240-megavolt ampere transformers and providing 220kV, 110kV, and 10kV outgoing lines that consider the constraints of the dense urban location.
HEEC designed the substation and facilitated project collaboration using Bentley Substation, AECOsim Building Designer, Bentley Raceway and Cable Management, ProStructures, and ProjectWise. ProjectWise allowed the design team to work in a unified model space, increasing efficiency and helping to solve clashes. Avoiding rework in at least 10 instances saved CNY 2 million. When completed, this substation will optimize the High Tech Zone’s power grid and improve the quality of life for more than 400,000 people.

Lahore, November 22, 2017 – The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) showcased its partnership with Pakistan in the energy sector in the two-day International Conference on Energy Conservation and Efficiency 2017 held in Lahore. USAID Provincial Director for Punjab, Lea Swanson, joined Vice Chancellor University of Engineering and Technology-Lahore (UET-Lahore), Dr. Fazal Ahmad Khalid, CEO Lahore Knowledge Park Dr. Zubair Iqbal Ghouri and dignitaries from the government, academia and private sector to inaugurate the conference. Hosted by UET-Lahore the conference and accompanying exhibition are co-sponsored by the USAID-funded U.S.-Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Energy (USPCAS-E).
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, Ms. Swanson said, “The U.S. is committed to working together with Pakistan to help meet its growing energy needs. We are supporting Pakistan's infrastructure and operational improvements and promoting policy reforms to help the energy sector function more efficiently and sustainably. The U.S.-Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Energy is harnessing applied research to find innovative and practical solution for Pakistan’s energy challenges.”
The conference brought together engineers, researchers, energy experts, manufacturers and building designers to explore and exchange ideas in the rapidly growing field of energy efficiency and conservation strategies.
The USAID-funded USPCAS-E is a joint initiative between the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), University of Engineering and Technology-Peshawar (UET-Peshawar) and Arizona State University focused on building Pakistan’s expertise to conduct applied research in the field of energy. As part of the program, approximately 200 graduate students and faculty members from USPCAS-E will conduct applied research on energy at the Arizona State University by 2019. The partnership has also developed curricula, established new laboratories at NUST and UET-Peshawar, and initiated exchange programs.

The Savannah Cotton Exchange was completed in 1886. Built of red brick with a terra cotta façade, iron window lintels and copper finials and copings, the building is one of the best surviving examples of the Romantic Revival period. It is believed to be one of the few dwellings built on top of an existing public street. It designed by noted Boston architect William Gibbons Preston who won a national competition of eleven noted building designers of the time. It is located at 100 East Bay Street and now houses the Savannah Chamber of Commerce and other shops and bars.
