Some projects mentioned include: the Raleigh House (demolished in 2000), the US embassies in Buenos Aires and in Pretoria, South Africa, the Juilliard School of Music, Civic Centers of Springfield and Portland and the 18 ton stainless steel and aluminium Floralis Generica, the public sculpture that has become an icon of Buenos Aires.
