Architecture as a Corporate identity

Spizzico is the Italian fast-food brand operating in Italy, Greece, Switzerland, France and USA. The creation of a new corporate identity for Autogrill combining the red structure design and smart technology is remarkable: a rectangular building with round corners. The truncated-conical ALUCOBOND® panels fabricated with a “double calendered” technique knitted with patented buttons on the “ship prow” are used at the “drive in”, the lighting effects and signs. The concept was realised by high-tech resources and CNC work centres.

Nassau Veteran's Memorial Coliseum

Opened in 1972 in Uniondale, N.Y., the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum was showing its age and in need of a major facelift. While some architects and developers might have suggested a total teardown of the dated venue, New York City-based SHoP Architects and developer Forest City Ratner Cos., LLC, of Brooklyn, N.Y., saw the opportunity to sustainably retain the strong architectural massing of the arena while giving its façade an entirely new look.
