The company's Research and Development Headquarters in Irvine, California, designed by the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill (SOM), proves Kia's commitment to design and the U.S. market, where sales have increased by 77 percent since 2008, when the project was completed.

      <title>200 Fifth Avenue</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[An original 1909 marketing brochure, found during the renovation of 200 Fifth Avenue, touts the white terra-cotta cladding on a wall surrounding the courtyard as a reflective surface that would bring daylight into the heart of the workspaces within. Along with STUDIOS Architecture's bold design, that 100-year-old brochure helped convince New York's Landmarks Preservation Commission that replacing the terra-cotta wall with a glass curtain wall would respect the original architects' intentions.

        <![CDATA[In January, Facebook users spent more than 10.5 billion minutes a day accessing the site just by computer, according to the company's IPO. That takes a lot of energy. Most data centers'large hubs of servers that handle bank transactions, cloud-based email services, and friend requests'devote around one-third of their energy consumption to building operations. Having leased space in such facilities, Facebook wanted its first data center to maximize energy efficiency. Working with Sheehan Partners and AlfaTech Consulting, the company rethought every piece of equipment, from circuit boards to air handling. Thanks to an evaporative cooling system, a custom power-distribution system,]]>
