On September 10, 2015, a groundbreaking ceremony for the Hampton County Library was held. Pictured in the lineup are members of Hampton County Council and County Administration, as well as members of the Hampton Library Board and staff of the Allendale-Hampton-Jasper Regional Library System.
The project is one of ten community facilities being funded by a one-cent sales tax enacted by a voter referendum. the large turnout on that hot august day reflects the community’s interest in improving the quality of life and education in Hampton.
Liollio's Andy Clark & David Dewees recently paid a visit to Bialosky + Partners in Cleveland OH to participate in a design charrette for a current collaborative project.
Rick and Geoff also made a stop in Tuskegee, AL for our site investigation at the George Washington Carver Museum. The Carver Museum is a part of the Tuskegee Institute NHS. The Museum is having problems cooling the staff areas as well as controlling humidity levels in the museum area. Our scope is to replace the HVAC system and we will also end up replacing all of the ductwork to create a more efficient system that controls both temperature and humidity.
Rick and Geoff also traveled to Atlanta, GA to complete our site investigation to renovate 443 Edgewood. This building is owned by the Martin Luther King Jr NHS and is a part of the Historic District. Our scope is to rehabilitate the historic façade and complete renovations to the interior to allow NPS to lease the space to a local business.
Last week Rick and Geoff traveled to Homestead, FL to review several projects with the Everglades National Park. Some for the projects include exterior renovations to the Coe Visitor Center, replacing the Bobcat Boardwalk at Shark Valley, designing a new fee/entrance station to the Long Pine Key Campground, renovating the LPK Amphitheater, re-roofing three buildings and completing some renovations/rehabilitation to the Mission 66 Historic Shark Valley Tower Comfort Station.

Charles Eames (1907–78) and Ray Eames (1912–88) gave shape to America's twentieth century. Their lives and work represented the nation's defining social movements: the West Coast's coming-of-age, the economy's shift from making goods to producing information, and the global expansion of American culture. The Eameses embraced the era's visionary concept of modern design as an agent of social change, elevating it to a national agenda. Their evolution from furniture designers to cultural ambassadors demonstrated their boundless talents and the overlap of their interests with those of their country. In a rare era of shared objectives, the Eameses partnered with the federal government and the country's top businesses to lead the charge to modernize postwar America.

Another in the series of non-architectural inspiration. This week, in our INSPIRED BY: series, we take a look at the paintings of Piet Mondrian.
“Piet Mondrian, one of the founders of the Dutch modern movement De Stijl, is recognized for the purity of his abstractions and methodical practice by which he arrived at them. He radically simplified the elements of his paintings to reflect what he saw as the spiritual order underlying the visible world, creating a clear, universal aesthetic language within his canvases. In his best known paintings from the 1920s, Mondrian reduced his shapes to lines and rectangles and his palette to fundamental basics pushing past references to the outside world toward pure abstraction. His use of asymmetrical balance and a simplified pictorial vocabulary were crucial in the development of modern art, and his iconic abstract works remain influential in design and familiar in popular culture to this day.”
