Another firm is pushing the standard billboard into the realm of technicolor alien spaceships with a bold street-side advertising/art structure right in the heart of Hollywood’s Sunset Strip.

100 Women to Watch in Architecture
The future of architecture is female. That’s what recent A+Awards winners have taught us, with more women than ever leading teams in conceptualizing, designing, and delivering some of the world’s best architecture around the globe.

Architecture Studio’s Yoko Fujii and Apparatus Architects’ Gabriella Gamma to KIENTRUC O’s Anni Le and Formafatal’s Dagmar Štěpánová.
