Excellence Engineered: We’re proud to share that the C Street Addition to the H. Carl Moultrie Courthouse received not one, but two 2024 Engineering Excellence Merit Awards last night from ACEC Metropolitan Washington! Congratulations to AMT Engineering and Loring Consulting Engineers, Inc., both of whom were celebrated for their work on “projects that demonstrate a high degree of achievement, value, and ingenuity” in the DC metro area. This marks the second engineering recognition for the DC Courts expansion, following an Engineering News-Record Mid-Atlantic Regional Best Project Award in the Government/Public Building Category over the summer.

We're proud to be part of this important project!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has unveiled the design for the Oscar L. and H.M. Agnes Hsu-Tang Wing. Designed by Mexican architect Frida Escobedo—with executive architect Beyer Blinder Belle, Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, and engineering firms Kohler Ronan and Thornton Tomasetti—the wing will provide a new world-class home for the museum’s extraordinary collection of 20th and 21st-century art. Set to open in 2030, the new project will increase gallery space by nearly 50 percent and address important accessibility, infrastructure, and sustainability needs. Drawing inspiration from the Museum’s architectural legacy, diverse art holdings, and setting within Central Park, Taller Frida Escobedo’s design seamlessly blends tradition with modernity, bringing the modern and contemporary collection into new dialogues with the rest of the Museum. Follow @MetModern on Instagram to learn more about the museum’s modern and contemporary collection. #MetModern #TangWing Image credit: Renderings of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Tang Wing.

Find Yourself in a Book: New signage and wayfinding designed by LVCK—A Beyer Blinder Belle Studio for the Scarsdale Public Library creates an intuitive, welcoming experience for all visitors. Bold exterior signage guides people to and through the entrance, with modern typography that harmonizes with the architecture. Inside, clear and colorful graphic systems throughout help make the library easily navigable, accessible, and, of course, fun! 🎨: Melpomeni Chatzipanagiotou  📷: James Shanks
