Heneghan Peng Architects

[Roderick Grant]

Is anyone aware of Heneghan Peng Architects of Dublin? There was a documentary about the under-construction, 5,000,000 sf Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) at Giza. They seem to be making quite a mark for themselves, but I have never heard of them. But then, they've been around for only 17 years. Interesting work.

One off-the-wall design for Los Angeles is a yellow floating football stadium off the coast of Santa Monica State Beach, an enormous 80,000 seat building in the shape of a tanker that, if a football team moves, can be dislodged to move along with it!

the stadium sounds like the Chinese design for a "bus" that rides over the roadway long enough to take publicity pictures, and is then abandoned

Here's their website:

I seem to remember their work being discussed on a previous thread.

The exterior of the Egyptian museum resembles the Imperial Triangle fabric produced by Schumacher.
