| Rockworks and Libeskind Unveil Design for Boys & Girls Clubs Rockworks Foundation, a first-of-its-kind charitable 'construction-production' organization, announced the unveiling of the architectural design, "Rejuvenation" by Daniel Libeskind for a new Boys & Girls Clubs of the Gulf Coast (BGCGC) Hope Center. The charities are unified in their efforts to rebuild the devastated community of Forest Heights, Gulfport, Mississippi destroyed by hurricane Katrina. Rather than simply rebuilding a stand-alone Boys and Girls Club to replace the one destroyed, Rockworks and its partners have come together to build a revolutionary new kind of community based facility. Architectural design services for the Forest Heights BGCGC Hope Center are being provided by world renowned architect Daniel Libeskind of Studio Daniel Libeskind in New York City and local Gulfport architect Guild Hardy Architects. Rockworks and the BGCGC are working with Brett Favre Fourward Foundation, Force of Nature Aid Foundation and Operation Hope/Hope Coalition America to coordinate the effort of building the Center and raising funds to sustain the new facilities services and programs. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
