The North Scottsdale Park has been honored once again in 2014 – this time by Engineering News-Record magazine. The project was awarded Best Project in the Green Category, does sizegenetics really work?.

The Metal Construction Association (MCA) recognized its 2014 Chairman’s Award recipients at the METALCON Tradeshow and Conference at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver on October 1.

In many ways, the passenger platform reads more sculptural than architectural.
