The Greek Theatre
The Greek Theatre sits in a natural amphitheater in Griffith Park, where the curved seating bowl draws the audience toward the stage. Built in 1930, it joins the park’s landscape to Los Angeles’s tradition of outdoor performance.
The Green Planet
The Green Planet places a tropical biodome within City Walk, bringing a carefully controlled rainforest environment into a Dubai urban district. Its immersive design helps visitors see how layered habitats—from canopy to forest floor—support very different forms of life.
The Grove
The Grove is an open-air shopping and entertainment district beside the Original Farmers Market in Los Angeles. Its trolley, fountains and pedestrian streets evoke a town centre, while the neighbouring market keeps an older working-food culture close at hand.

The Japanese Garden
This six-and-a-half-acre Japanese garden is part of a Los Angeles wastewater treatment complex, joining careful landscape design with an otherwise hidden urban system. Its pond is filled with treated water, making ecological infrastructure part of the garden’s setting.

The Mennello Museum of American Art

The O2
The O2’s vast white canopy began as the Millennium Dome, a landmark built for the year 2000. Its later conversion into an arena and entertainment complex shows how a temporary national project acquired a lasting role on the Greenwich peninsula.
The Oculus

Theodosius Cistern

The Orlando Eye
The Orlando Eye lifts visitors above International Drive in enclosed capsules, turning a busy entertainment district into a broad landscape view. The slow rotation changes the scale of what is visible, from nearby parks to the wider Central Florida region.
The Peak
The Peak rises above Hong Kong Island and offers broad views across the city and Victoria Harbour. Its history includes colonial-era summer residences and the Peak Tram, which transformed access to the steep hillside.
The Plaza Live
The Plaza Live is an Orlando performing-arts venue in a building that began as a neighborhood cinema. Its transformation from movie theatre to live-event stage links two forms of shared entertainment, while its mid-century setting recalls the city’s changing patterns of leisure.
The Red House
The Red House in Ximending is an octagonal red-brick building that began as a public market in 1908. Its conversion into a cultural and creative hub illustrates how a historic commercial structure can find new uses without losing its recognizable form.
The Shard
The Shard’s tapering glass profile was conceived as a vertical city, stacking offices, homes, a hotel, restaurants, and a viewing gallery above London Bridge Station. Renzo Piano’s design draws on spires and ship masts.
The Smell
The Smell is a volunteer-run, all-ages music and art space in Downtown Los Angeles. Its modest storefront presence contrasts with the cultural life inside: a community-organized venue where local musicians and audiences help make the room’s identity together.
