For the second year in a row, Wallpaper* has named Amale Andraos and Dan Wood in their USA 400 List, highlighting the people defining America's creative landscape.⁠ We are honored to be named as Tastemakers, "setting the creative agenda, from interior design and architecture to fashion and jewelry, these are the influencers behind some of the country's most noteworthy projects, from buildings to jewelry." Many thanks to the Wallpaper* team for this recognition, and we congratulate all our friends and colleagues who made this year's list!

WORKac is leading the transformation of the historic Sibley Dome at Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning. Currently serving as a connection between the East and West Wings of Sibley Hall and the Campus Arts Quad, the reimagined Sibley Dome offers a new place for students, faculty, and staff to come together. Breathing new life into underutilized spaces while preserving the dome’s historic architecture, the renovation introduces new multipurpose spaces, including a new suspended 100-seat auditorium, study nooks and group spaces, and a home for the Department of Design Tech and the Cornell Mui Ho Center for Cities.
