The IBM Executive Briefing Center, located in Rome created by Iosa Ghini Associati and completed in 2010, was inspired on the “strips†of the IBM logo.
Via Design Milk: The IBM briefing program is designed to provide professionally managed events and to maximize the value of time that customers spend in IBM. Any “briefing†usually includes presentations and demonstrations to bring customers to run events which they participate. Listening, discussing and illustrating how the new IBM technologies can be helpful in facing and resolving technical and business issues, make people away from the traditional concept of communication, to get closer to a place of useful comparison: a new agora. Using technology, Iosa Ghini is able to communicate that this is a place in which ideas for the future of technology and business are being discussed and presented.

Emmanuelle Moureaux Architecture have designed the Shimura Branch of the Sugamo Shinkin Bank in Tokyo, Japan.

Visitors spontaneously look up to see a cut-out piece of the sky that invites them to gaze languidly at it. The open sky and sensation of openness prompts you to take deep breaths, refreshing your body from within. The ceiling is adorned with dandelion puff motifs that seem to float and drift through the air. Three long glass airwells thread through the first and second levels of the building, flooding the interior with natural light as well as “blowing” air through it.
