Ecuador Building Resilience Program III | In the a

Ecuador Building Resilience Program III | In the aftermath of the 2016 Ecuador earthquake, Miyamoto, in partnership with @usaidsaveslives , launched a large-scale #construction training program and an awareness campaign about disaster #preparedness and seismic-resistant construction.

Over the course of multi-day, hands-on training sessions, over 1,400 individuals, construction professionals, government staff, and community members (nearly 40% women) were trained in better building practices using bamboo and other common materials.

Bamboo—an important and affordable material that is resilient and locally available in Ecuador’s coastal towns. #SDG13

SDG13 Programa Ecuador Construccón Resiliente III | Después del terremoto de Ecuador en 2016, Miyamoto, en asociación con USAID/BHA, lanzó un programa de capacitación a gran escala en #construcción y una campaña de concientización sobre #preparación ante desastres y construcción sismo-resistente.

A lo largo de sesiones prácticas de varios días, se capacitó a más de 1,400 profesionales de construcció, empleados de gobierno y miembros de la comunidad (casi 40% mujeres) en mejores prácticas de construcción utilizando bambú y otros materiales comunes.

Burlingame Point is an 18-acre waterfront developm

Burlingame Point is an 18-acre waterfront development, featuring four mid-rise buildings, a six-story parking structure and a two-story amenity building. It offers 767,000 square feet of office, R&D, retail and life-science space, making it one of the largest developments of its kind on the San Francisco Peninsula. Miyamoto devised structural solutions for the peninsula's challenges and the architect's vision. The buildings rest on three seismically separate podiums and employ various lateral systems, like braced frames, moment-resisting frames and shear walls. The amenity building uses a concrete moment frame system, and the parking garage employs a concrete shear wall system. Special façade support systems were implemented for the architect's bay-inspired aesthetics.

An exciting project is near completion in San Jose

An exciting project is near completion in San Jose, California!

Josh Reynolds and the creative team made what seemed impossible possible in this topping off.

Miyamoto International is collaborating with Steinberg Hart and Flint Builders on the new Career Education Complex for the San Jose Evergreen Community College District. This design-build project includes the renovation of Building 200 and construction of a four-story facility. Both structures will combine to form the Career Education Complex.

Stay tuned for the completion of this amazing project!

On April 2, 2024, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake hit eastern Taiwan, a stark reminder of the island's seismic vulnerability.

The earthquake's toll—10 lives lost and over 1,067 injured—has deeply affected Taiwan and the world. Yet, Taiwan's resilience, underpinned by strict building codes and safety education, stands as a beacon of hope and unity in adversity.
