Oppenheim Architecture unveils images of their crystal quartz-inspired luxury towers in Australia

2021-03-04T16:27:00-05:00

The Miami-based architecture, interior design, and planning firm Oppenheim Architecture shared images of their latest luxury mixed-use project, the Jewel. In February 2020, we connected with firm founder Chad Oppenheim for a Studio Snapshot interview. During the interview, we discussed the firm's work and design ethos. "The practice is much more about creating a platform for expression," he shared.

"We started by doing projects in up and coming areas and using architecture as we way to extract the best return on investment for our clients," shared Oppenheim. "Further down, we wanted to see how architecture can be as elemental as possible. Little by little, we were brought onto projects on spectacular sites, and we wanted to make the most out of them – bringing feeling and emotion as part of our ethos."

Archinect's Architecture School Lecture Guide for Winter/Spring 2014

Archinect's Get Lectured is up and running again for the Winter/Spring '14 term! As a refresher from our Fall 2013 guide, every week we'll feature a school's lecture series—and their snazzy posters—for the current season. If you're not doing so already, be sure to keep track of any upcoming lectures you don't want to miss.

Today's poster comes from Bond University's Abedian School of Architecture — Get Lectured's first featured Australian school!

Here's a little more info about their "Design Is Research" lecture series: "The 2014 Architecture Lecture Series – 'Design Is Research' - seeks to actively examine architecture on its own terms as a creative activity with specific disciplinary tendencies, preoccupations, and transformational modes of operation. Design Is Research is framed as a polemic, confronting the widely held assumption that architectural production and scholarly research are unrelated endeavours."
