Last month the Chicago-based firm of Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (currently hiring!) won a competition to design Masdar's headquarters in Abu Dhabi's Masdar City, the world's first zero-carbon, zero-waste city fully powered by renewable energy, making this project the first mixed-use positive energy building in the world..

you can put about 5 more exclamation marks after the 'now hiring' statement. i started working there last month, and it's insanely busy. good busy, but busy.
did either adrian smith or gordon gill work for coophimmelblau?
nice work...beautiful drawings/animation and very interesting design solution...sinking the program into the ground and allowing light to flow in through the vertical element seems like a very elegant solution...probably one of the first project coming from abu dhabi that has truly impressed me...having said that, much of it will come down to execution....
Yeah! The office has doubled in size in the past two months.
Hmm. Interesting design solution? Perhaps for BMW Welt in Munich or (just across the freeway and 30 years earlier) Otto's Olympic Swim Hall.
