Responding to a major expansion of the University of Iowa’s primary research hospital, this 18,350 sqf facility houses a bus interchange, offices for Parking and Transportation, and a 780-foot enclosed walkway system. The Transit Center is an integral cog in the University’s free mass-transit system, with roughly 4,000 people passing through each day. Two guiding parameters inform the transit building’s composition. The first is the stacking of program elements that the owner initially planned to be sited separately.

The team of Simplex Architecture, Dongsimwon and studio201 has been selected as the winners of the Yisabu Dokdo Memorial Park International Competition. The international competition asked designers to create a new memorial and monumental park in the city of Samcheok, South Korea, that would tell the story of the voyage undertaken by legendary general Yisabu to the islands of Usanguk and Dokdo in 512 A.D. Located on a 24,600-square-meter site overlooking the Sea of Japan, the project will serve as center of education, experience and tourism while engaging the essential elements of earth and water as well as the five senses.
