Design Explor-edition
Is it an expedition if you don’t travel? Does exploration require you leave home if you’ve packed your curiosity? Investigating the built environment in cities around the world has always been an essential part of our annual Design Expeditions. However, this year was a little different. We had to hit pause on the expedition, but […]

The interior of ICON Music Center is best experienced as a journey through the venue. Anticipation is built before a concert as you climb the steps to the entrance and ride the escalators to the terrace. Savor those special moments before your favorite artists take the stage! Get your ticket, explore the venue, soak up the views, and create some memories!

One of the first Carnegie Libraries, the community saved it from demolition in the ‘70s. Now @braddocklibrary is an invaluable community center – lending books, offering vibrant arts programming (incl. a community print shop and ceramics studio), and an expansive alternative lending library.
Check out our plans to help them rejuvenate long-vacant spaces: bit.ly/gbbnBraddock

Sometimes it’s what’s on the outside that matters.
In the heart of Tianjin’s urban core, a car dealership that used to greet pedestrians with a 220-foot Peugeot blue, corrugated metal wall, now welcomes them in. Changing the façade transformed the whole space.

We can’t really make a “hands-free” office, but to make our space safer, we’re taking steps to minimize contact that can spread germs. For this foot-powered door pull, we determined a pull that went under the door and attached from the inside would be the most effective and least visually intrusive for our office design.
We started with 4” wide 11-gauge flat bar and cut it to 7” lengths. From there we bent the 90 + 45 degree angles, using a metal brake to get our desired profile shape. After a little rounding of corners and clean-up we drilled and counter-sunk mounting holes and painted them a flat black to blend in.

It's already happening! The always amazing @NOMA_PGH has kicked off their #ProjectPipelineMiniSeries! Part of an effort to increase the number of underrepresented minorities pursuing careers in architecture and design, NOMA PGH is posing a series of video lessons and at-home exercises to introduce 8th-12th graders to architecture and design.
A new video comes out Monday, so now’s a good time to catch up: bit.ly/NOMApgh

“Home is a powerful thing. It’s the place that forms you, a guiding set of relationships, memories, and experiences that, for better or worse, make you who you are,” writes GBBN Associate, Mary Jo Minerich. What does this mean for people facing housing insecurity? For people in 30 million units of substandard housing in the US?

🍾 love seeing this progress. Missing live music, looking forward to @iconmusiccenter opening.
Developed in conversation with those who use it, our design for @carnegielibrary for the Blind Physically Handicapped makes this space more comfortable and easier to use while announcing its mission and value to the larger public.

Cancer Changes Everything. A diagnosis throws a patient’s whole life into doubt – their health, their future, their job, their family – everything.
To reclaim their lives, patients not only need compassionate, expert care, they need an array of supports, from financial counseling to social services and survivorship care. Learn how we design healing spaces to support the wellbeing of patients and their caregivers: bit.ly/GBBN_Cancer

Not only is @taftmuseum reopening this week, but it’s the building’s 200th Anniversary! @enquirer has a great piece on the reopening, the anniversary, and our work restoring the building:
“What makes it all the more exciting is that there are no drawings to guide us,” says Chris Magee, the architect who is overseeing the project for GBBN Architects. “There are almost no early illustrations showing the house. So everything is kind of a mystery.”
