The Broadcom Parking Garage, a necessary and integral portion of the HOK-designed, 1 million square-foot Broadcom campus, was transformed into a visually-appealing, open structure with CENTRIA EcoScreen® Cascade perforated metal panels in Champagne Pearl and Clay.

Completed in the 7th century CE, the Hwanryongsa Temple's Wooden Pagoda was once the tallest wooden building in the entire world.
