RAW building
LPA Inc., one of the largest architecture, engineering, interior design, and landscape architecture firms in California, was recognized by the American Institute of Architects in Orange County (AIAOC) for its work on the Recreation and Wellness Center (RAW) at 麻豆传媒社区入口.
The RAW design received both a Citation Award and an award from the AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE). The COTE award use the National AIA COTE Measures of Sustainable Design – which measure a project’s intent and innovation, community, site, bioclimatic design, light and air, water, energy materials, long life and feedback. Jurors especially liked this project’s ventilated trombe wall. “There is ample natural ventilation and light, as evidenced in the two-story lobby, as well as interior areas using Solatubes skylights,” explains a juror. “The red, perforated metal shading elements provide a punch of color and flash to the exterior elevation.”
