Orlando: A Performing Arts Center To Blend In

Architect Barton Myers has been chosen to design a new performing arts center for the city of Orlando, Florida. “Myers — a Los Angeles-based architect who has designed performing-arts centers in Newark, N.J.; Portland, Ore.; and Cerritos, Calif. — is known as an architect who avoids designing flashy structures that stand out from the landscape, such as Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Instead, Myers wants his work to fit in with — and add to — the cityscape around it.”
