Featured Project: McKinley High School (PS 305) McKinley High School (PS 305)
Buffalo, NY, USA
Sometimes it’s nice to contrast the immense with the more intimate. Last time we featured the ACROS in Fukuoka, Japan with its nearly 100,000 square meters of lush vegetation. With school back in session for many, we thought re-highlighting a greenroof on an educational building was appropriate.
   
Featured Project: ACROS Fukuoka Prefectural International Hall ACROS Fukuoka Prefectural International Hall
Fukuoka, Japan

Twenty-five years have passed since the opening of the architecturally influential and important ACROS in Fukuoka, Japan. Steeped in vegetation, the iconic was designed by uber green architect Emilio Ambasz with Nihon Sekkei as associate architect and Takenaka Corporation as landscape architect.
