Canopy Construction Associates
Canopy Construction Associates is staffed by scientists and construction experts who have both the ability and experience to work high above the ground in remote (and not so remote) locations. CCA provides canopy access and consultation with regard to the appropriate site location, selection of access options, and costs. Whether you are interested in an extensive system of walkways, or a modest observation platform, we can design and build an access system to suit your needs. CCA has been building canopy access systems since 1990 with our first project in the Amazonian rain forest of northern Peru. Since then we have enabled researchers and tourists alike to experience the "High Frontier" of forests around the world. http://www.canopyaccess.com/ |

Located in New York City since 1972, Peter Gluck and Partners is a 40 person architectural firm known for its integrity of design and sensitivity to the relationship between architectural form and context. Rather than specializing in a particular building type or specific architectural style, the goal is to provide appropriate responses to often difficult and conflicting requirements. The firm has designed buildings throughout the United States, ranging in type from houses, schools, religious buildings, and community centers to hotels, corporate interiors, university buildings, and historic restorations. Many of these projects have won national and international design awards and have been published in architectural journals and books in many countries. |
