For this project, MillerClapperton is fabricating 4,468 square feet of Metal Composite Material.

This week, we’re taking it back to 2013. Why you ask? Because sometimes advice from the past can be just as relevant today, as it was nearly 7 years ago. As a company, we’ve prided ourselves on staying ahead of the curve and being a leader in our industry. We embrace advanced technologies and so it seems, we were ahead of our time in 2013. As we reflect on our new normal by relying on technology to communicate and keep our business going, we invite you to read senior estimator, Scott Stafford’s blog post about using Skype to communicate with remote teams and customers.

No matter where you live, the impact of COVID-19 is being felt in communities big and small, but nowhere is that more evident than in our country’s urban areas. The pandemic is reshaping urban life, and it has left many streets and buildings empty as people practice social distancing. From the Place de la Concorde in Paris to Times Square, photographers are capturing these empty cities across the globe. The New York Times recently published a piece titled ‘The Great Empty’ that showcases this defining moment in our history and shows a new side to urban life.

Recommendation: Interview with Peter Eisenman
Produced By: Louisiana Channel

Peter Eisenman is an American architect who rose to fame in the late 1960s as part of the New York Five, a group that shared an interest in the purity of architectural form. In January, he was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner at his studio in New York City. The video ‘Learn the Language’ explores how Eisenman stresses the importance of communication and of knowing the language of the field you’re interested in.
