The new Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House in Dallas, one of the new performance art venues of AT&T’s Performing Art center (ATTPAC). Estimated 45,000 people across Dallas have joined the opening on 19th October. The Opera house auditorium designed with horseshoe plan seating 2,200 audiences by trying to take theatre to the audience. What I like is the public sunshade area that is connected the theatre to other buildings, squares and activities featured in the ATTPAC.

To the north of Madrid, at the end of a new urban development known as “Las Tablas”, the new Telefónica Headquarters, known as Distrito C, will house all the employees of the company – 14,000 people – in one single corporate campus, for the first time in the firm’s history.
Las Tablas is a large residential area, with a low density, which was built very recently on private land, without any special intention behind the planning.Spatially and conceptually, Distrito C absorbs very little of this environment.
An essential element of a Campus is its pedestrianised areas and this clearly is in contradiction with the new development of Las Tablas, given that that project was designed for low density and therefore puts the car forward as the main means of transport.
