  • Tall Innovation Conference- Chicago / Presentation | Chicago IL |2018

    Leppanen Anker presented with Uribe Schwarzkopf  the innovation of the Gaia building at the Tall Innovation conference 2018 in Chicago. The presentation showcased the Gaia Building, that has been constructed as a new landmark for the city. Comprised of a total of 15,000 square meters of mixed-use space and topped with a large roof garden, this construction is visually connected with the distant Andes mountains. The 15-story tower merges commercial opportunities on the ground floor, offices on the next four levels, and residential units the rest of the way to the top. The design and the construction process of the building utilizes a repeatable pattern system of Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) to reduce the number of construction molds used in creating the distinctive white façade. Learn More

  • Latin America : Architecture, Design and Culture / Dialogue | Washinton DC | 2017

    As Latins, we understand the importance of indigenous legacies like music, dances, food, arts, crafts, clothing, folk culture and traditions that have been taught through centuries to all of us. Markets are a good example where traditions are reinforced, with colors, sounds, history, and identity each market becomes an interpretation of the ancient shops.The project, located in Washington, was the interpretation of markets as tissues and fluid spaces that are intertwined virtually and physically as cultures converge with each other. Likewise, these places are like living organisms that change with seasons and needs. Keeping that in mind it was decided to create a connected space that celebrates the colors and traditions that users can experiment through the project while creating spaces that respond to the architectural program. Learn More
