FOUNDING PRINCIPAL, LEVER ARCHITECTURE
LEVER is a leading US-based architectural practice recognised for design excellence and material innovation, collaborating with communities, institutions, and creative organisations to demonstrate the value of architecture as a tool to move the world forward with grace, utility, and beauty. Their work has been recognised with over 50 design awards, and they have been named as one of the world’s most innovative companies.
LEVER’s Founding Principal, Thomas Robinson, will present the firm’s body of work with a focus on LEVER’s development of new timber typologies, including LEVER’s own office, Albina Yard, the first building in the United States made from domestically fabricated Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), Adidas’ North American headquarters, the first timber concrete hybrid in the United States, and Spring Street, the first major CLT and steel hybrid structure in Los Angeles.
Thomas will also provide an overview of the next generation of LEVER’s work and research, including the winning entry in an international competition for the New Portland Museum of Art and new research into seismically resilient structures.
