Article Abstract:
Miami, FL-based Spillis Candela & Partners is behind the new flight-inspired design of Miami International Airport's Concourse A restaurants and newsstands. Spillis Candela had to employ images that relate to speed, aerodynamics and technology in designing the areas. The bar and newstand designs had to meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements within a limited amount of space. The firm also had to seek the approval of both the aviation department and the retail and foodservice concessions regarding the function, aesthetics and easy maintenance of the facilities.

Article Abstract:
The cornerstones on which the music label Motown Records is based are the same elements that mark the design of Motown Cafe in New York. Style, movement and sound are abundant in the cafe's design, such as a revolving 45 rpm record on the ceiling, life-sized statues of stars, the video screen at the Roostertail Lounge and the disc jockey's booth on the mezzanine. Haverson Architecture picked the early 1960s as its reference in terms of color and style among the many eras and styles in the record company's 37-year history.
