Henning Larsen Architects will design a new multi-use complex in Denmark encompassing Microsofts Danish headquarters, student residences, and retail space. Located in Kongens Lyngby, just north of Copenhagen, the development aims to position the city as a hub of knowledge and creativity. The project reflects an interesting urban development strategy, mayor Sren P. Rasmussen says. Knowledge-intensive businesses are connected to urban life and the local study community. In addition, the building will provide a welcoming, dynamic urban space where city center and green areas meet.

Microsoft, which will consolidate offices for its 900 employees in the country, seeks to create the workplace of the future supported by a flexible layout and state-of-the-art technologies. The citizens can use our open caf and technology area, students can use our allocated study area, and we will regularly host different events that will connect us even closer to the local area and Denmark, Niels Soelberg, CEO of Microsoft Denmark says.

The 430,000-square-foot building is expected to break ground later this year.

You forget about intimidation when participating in the male-dominated construction end of architecture. It's about proving your competency.

By Nicole Mulvaney FOR THE TIMES

The 2009 recession sent hundreds of U.S. businesses into bankruptcy and millions of workers onto the unemployment rolls, but one Princeton architectural firm weathered the economic slump and has emerged stronger than ever.

I think that the experience of the downturn has made us both more resilient and creative in our approach to obtaining work, said Moira McClintock, managing partner in the firm, Ford 3 Architects.

We were also fortunate to have a focus on preservation and adaptive re-use projects, she said, noting recent preservation projects at Princeton and Rutgers universities and at the University of Pennsylvania.

Ford 3, which is marking its 10th anniversary this year, had its best year in 2008, when it began to establish itself among the businesses, high-end shops, restaurants and boutiques along Nassau Street in Princeton. But everything changed at the end of that year with the start of the recession.

Projects went on hold, there was little new work to pursue and what there was was of a much smaller scale, recalled McClintock. Ford 3 attempted to hold onto staff as long as possible by reducing hours and partner compensation but it had to let some employees go.

But some long-term clients enabled the business to stay afloat during that period and work its way back to the size it had prior to the recession, she said.

Given the significant costs associated with new architectural development, there has been an increased interest in re-use and restoration of existing buildings to modern standards of sustainability an area of expertise for Ford 3.

Ford 3 Architects sprouted from Ford Farewell Mills & Gatsch Architects in Princeton, the firm that brought its partners together.

TORONTO, ON The University of Toronto has chosen Toronto-based Montgomery Sisam Architects (MSA) and U.K.-based Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios as the architects for the new Centre for Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CEIE).

The CEIE will serve as the hub of U of T Engineerings collaborative learning and interdisciplinary research, housing interactive spaces for learning and design, as well as a number of multidisciplinary research centres and institutes. The building will also serve as a home for the Facultys recently launched Entrepreneurship Hatchery, which encourages and supports engineering students interested in launching entrepreneurial ventures.

Located on St. George Street, adjacent to iconic Convocation Hall, the CEIE is targeted to open in 2016.

The new building will encourage informal and spontaneous interaction; for it is often through chance encounters that innovation occurs and entrepreneurial thinking flourishes, said Robert Davies of Montgomery Sisam Architects. Such encounters most often happen in the spaces in between, the halls, stairways, lobbies and passages. Set teaching spaces should be standardized and flexible to allow for change in the future whereas the shared public spaces; lounges, club space should be unique, dynamic and memorable environments.

The Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship is the central component of U of T Engineerings $200 million fundraising effort, part of Boundless: the Campaign for the University of Toronto. Through its interdisciplinary and collaborative intent, the Centre encapsulates Engineerings campaign goals and future, including developing global engineering leaders, nurturing engineering innovation and entrepreneurship, transforming biomedical engineering and human health, advancing information communications technology and reshaping the future of energy, the environment and sustainability.

U of T Engineering Dean Cristina Amon said she is looking forward to working with Montgomery Sisam Architects and Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios on the project. These two firms, with their experience in designing innovative research, learning and teaching spaces, have shown they have the vision to create a signature building that will foster the boundless energy and creativity needed for the future of engineering in Canada, Amon said.

Founded in 1978, Montgomery Sisam Architects (MSA) is a mid-sized architectural firm based in Toronto. MSA has designed such buildings as the Island Yacht Club and the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Centre and has won more than 65 provincial, national and international awards, including the 2011 Architectural Firm Award from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. The firm has extensive ties with the University of Toronto. Many of its architects including Davies are U of T graduates. MSA has worked on other U of T projects, including the revitalization of the St. George Campus Exam Centre, and the Arts and Administration building and Joan Foley Hall at U of Ts Scarborough campus.

Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, also founded in 1978, is based in London, England, and has an international reputation for design quality, for pioneering environmental expertise and a radical architectural approach. It has designed more than 60 educational buildings, in England and around the world.

Professor Emeritus Ron Venter, who chairs the project planning committee for the Centre, said the joint proposal from the two firms was very impressive. Were excited to be working with a local company that understands our vision and an international firm with a global reputation for sustainable, groundbreaking educational buildings.

He noted that MSA has developed several projects in similar urban settings and has particular strengths in addressing community concerns. The architects and the university will work closely with the university community, our neighbours and the City of Toronto as the Centre is designed and built. The end result will be a signature building that we can all be proud of.
