Rarely has the phrase “clear the air” had more meaning than the sand storms that Sydney experienced on September 23, 2009.
We were in Los Angeles at the time and couldn’t quite believe the images of such freak weather we were seeing on the internet and television. The second storm on Saturday 26th turned out to be far less frightening.
These images are somewhat apocalyptic.

Los Angeles Flexes its Structural Muscles: The South Central Re-Devlopment

Los Angeles’ glass tower, designed by Eric Owen Moss Architects, is completely revitalizing the locale.
With the aid of a rail line to encourage the redesign, the tower is part of the redevelopment of South Central LA, an area plagued with poverty and violence.
The design invokes the theme of a ribbon that allows each floor of the structure to be entirely open.
Constructed using steel tubes filled with concrete, the variance lies in the changing of each floors’ heights.
