EM2N’s principals Mathias Müller and Daniel Niggli aim to produce architecture that is powerful and personal, architecture with the capability of developing its own character. With their project, the new Toni-Areal in Zürich West, they are accomplishing just that.

One of the award-winning team at LRSLAstudio ’s notable projects is The University of Pennsylvania’s Woodland Walk.

Landscape architect Emma Johnson used design software to carefully document the project.
The firm also relied on the Vectorworks program to save time throughout the design process.

We are happy to be a sponsor, along with City Theatrical and Field Template, of the iSquint.net and Stage Directions Student Lighting Design Competition (SLDC) again this year. The competition will begin accepting entries on Nov. 28.

We’re excited to announce the publication of a new training guide for users of Vectorworks software, Residential Garden Design with Vectorworks Landmark, Fourth Edition. In this book, author Tamsin Slatter, a leading Vectorworks Landmark expert in the U.K., guides the reader through a landscape design project from start to finish.

Jeppe Utzon comes from a family of well-known architects and designers. His great-grandfather was a boat designer, and his grandfather Jørn was the 2003 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate who designed The Sydney Opera House. In 2003, Jeppe was approached by the appliance giant Electrolux to create a high-end barbecue for its Australian market. “My basic view of barbecues was that they’re really nice to cook on when you’re barbecuing but when you’re not barbecuing, they’re in your way—and mostly ugly.

We are pleased to announce the release of the Spanish-language version of the Vectorworks 2012 line of design software. The Spanish-language version will be available this month throughout the Americas, the Caribbean, and Spain.
