A workers’ compensation policy will usually extend to cover employees who are hired in one state while temporarily working in another; the benefits would be from the state of hire. It becomes a sticky situation when the state in which the employee is injured provides higher ...

This $20 million salt shed will store 5,000 tons of salt for the roads of Lower Manhatten this winter. “In some ways, it’s the simplest building I’ve ever designed, and in some ways, it’s the most complicated,” said Richard Dattner, who founded Dattner Architects 51 years ago.

Happy Birthday Jan Kaplický, World-Renowned Architect

April 18, 2015 would have been this famous architect’s 78th birthday. Kaplický was the leading architect behind Future Systems, the London-based architectural and design practice who focused on Bionic Architecture, or as some refer to “Blobitecture.” Kaplický was known for always pursuing the newest designs and ideas, and didn’t settle into any comfortable or predictable architectural niche.
