Ferrari World
One design issue that was never in question at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi was the colour of the roof cladding. Ferrari red was the only colour under discussion for this giant building whose roof, splatted like an outsize starfish onto Yas Island, apparently mimics the double-curvature of the side elevation of a Ferrari GT.

Harley Davidson
The new Harley Davidson showroom in Auvergne (France) makes maximum use of a vibrant corporate colour scheme to draw in customers. The building is one of the most important Harley Davidson showrooms in Europe and needed to be approved by head office in the United States before the design was finalised. The result is landmark representation of the company’s identity.

Las Arenas de Barcelona
Barcelona’s historic bull ring Las Arenas, constructed at the very end of the 19th century, fell largely into disuse during the 1970s, owing to the declining popularity of bull fighting in Catalonia.
