GenslerOn 
Gensler is once again headed to SXSW (March 12-15, 2017) and we’d love to connect with you on the ground in Austin! Here is where you will find our panels and speakers at SXSW Interactive this year. Our panels follow, and please connect with our attendees via SXSW Social.

In April and May, Gensler made its first appearance at the La Biennale di Venezia (15th International Architecture Exhibition) and the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam. The challenge: to envision a “living plan” for a new port town in the Amazon as a model of sustainable development—in the form of a dinner table installation.

When it comes to design, the higher education sector is often faced with a quandary: pursue trends or pursue sustainability?

Shanghai is one of 17 cities worldwide that recently hosted a walking tour focused on outdoor urban spaces, organized by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). The outdoor spaces that participants visited were selected based on their relationship with the buildings that shape them. The September “warm weather” tours followed a similar event this past January during the winter weather. The topics of better urban design and more efficient use of outdoor spaces surrounding tall buildings are particularly relevant to CTBUH and its http://www.ctbuh.org/tabid/6686/language/en-US/Default.aspx?group=20Urban Habitat/Urban Design Committee. In 2016, the committee will publish a technical guide for the design and development of urban public spaces.

On October 1, The Tower at PNC Plaza opened to the public, completing a five year design and construction process that started with a powerful and singular vision: create the world’s greenest skyrise. The Tower represents the culmination of a 10 year journey Gensler has taken with PNC, beginning with the first high-rise erected in Pittsburgh in decades (the mixed-use Three PNC Plaza) and followed by the first LEED Platinum office building in Washington, D.C., a net-zero bank branch building, and countless LEED-certified workplaces and bank branches across the country.
