Redmond Washington’s Municipal Campus has a vibrant new addition: a 52,000-square-foot, recreation facility designed by Opsis Architecture of Portland, OR and Johnston Architects (JA) of Seattle, WA. The state-of-the-art Redmond Senior & Community Center is a hub for health, wellness and connection, designed to bring generations together while becoming a source of civic pride for the city.
The church precinct in Gerliswil, with its distinctive neo-baroque church crowning the hill, forms an idyllic oasis in Emmenbrücke. The 1970s brutalist church community center integrates seamlessly into the hillside. While its volumetrics recede in deference to the church, it retains an independent, expressive presence typical of its era. The renovation and expansion have clarified its structure, connecting the building with the height of the church. The existing base now supports a new hall extension with a striking copper roof, eloquently signifying its new role as a public institution.
This association came in the form of a collaboration with the region’s Panchayat. As is the Government’s convention, a budget of 2.5 crores was allotted for the construction of an auditorium in Adisaptagram for private and public events. Planned to be built in the typical format of a Government convention hall, the local councilor was insistent that they could do better than a cookie-cutter ‘decorative’ facade and really add functional and aesthetic value with a contemporary approach.

A city is alive, constantly evolving and establishing a dynamic balance through the interactions and events between people and places. Non-organic structures preserve their form by resisting external influences, whereas organic structures gain vitality by adapting to and interacting with their environment. The process of embracing differences and engaging with others fosters creativity while shaping subtle boundaries that respond to relationships and urban demands.
A “capable structure” in the countryside – For this project located on the Foirail square (livestock fair) in Laguiole, we suggested a hall, a structure that can accommodate a complex program. Taking a strong stance on radical architecture, avoiding the regionalist pastiche with which we’re uncomfortable, we won the competition.

In the spring of 1996, a group of students from the Department of Architecture at the Helsinki University of Technology travelled to Senegal to address a challenge through architectural means. Among them were Saija Hollmén, Jenni Reuter, and Helena Sandman, students at the time. They were introduced to the work of a local women’s group, who suggested the idea of designing a centre for the women’s associations in their neighbourhood. Initially, this was undertaken as a learning exercise.
Residential community space – a dialogue of place with a variety of scales and volumes… The community space developed for vertical housing is a peaceful and relaxing social space. Its inclusive design allows the user to interact and be involved with the designed places.
In the heart of the Rivet district, benefiting from a privileged location on the heights of Brive la Gaillarde, the Claude Michelet multipurpose space and its park constitute a great opportunity to unite the district. The proposed project takes advantage of the site’s many assets while structuring the entire Platorama on a neighborhood scale, in order to create a unifying center anchored in its territory. The routes adjoining the facility weave promising links between the upper and lower neighborhoods and then all of the surrounding facilities.
