Week's top news: Bill Clinton, Tate Modern and David Adjaye's latest museum design
Sustainability was a recurring topic in the news this week. Former US presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter met in Atlanta to discuss sustainable cities and green energy policies, the American Society of Interior Designers sealed a new agreement to integrate health and wellness into the projects of its members and the UN unveiled a new tool to measure the impact urbanisation has on quality of life.
It was also a big week for museum news. Herzog and de Meuron’s long-awaited expansion to London’s Tate Modern opened to the public, a milestone was reached in the building of Jean Nouvel’s Louvre Abu Dhabi, David Adjaye won a contract to design the Latvia Museum of Contemporary Art, and Tadao Ando told CLAD about his plans for a new art museum in Paris.
Paris also made the headlines for its ongoing bid to win the 2024 Olympic Games, as the bid team announced its plans to build a 15,000-capacity aquatics centre if the city’s application is successful.
In other sports architecture developments, details emerged of velodrome for Jakarta.
This week CLAD also covered a Bulgari hotel in a royal Russian residence, a Vladimir Putin-approved theme park in Russia, Wolfgang Buttress’ bee-inspired Hive pavilion’s opening at Kew Gardens and OMA’s proposed design for a new Los Angeles park.
