Heatherwick Studio transformed Hong Kong’s Pacific Place, a mixed-use complex with a four-floor shopping mall originally built in 1990. The firm improved the circulation, added public space, and incorporated natural materials such as wood and stone.
Brickell City Centre, Miami
Architecture firm Arquitectonica designed Miami’s Brickell City Centre, a nine-acre development that includes 500,000 square feet of retail. A glass, steel, and fabric structure, known as the Climate Ribbon, covers the shopping concourses, letting in light and air and collecting rainwater that is used to irrigate the landscaping.
