After graduation he spent another year as design associate at the office of AIA Gold Medallist (Los Angeles) Barton Myers, Beverly Hills.〔http://www.designindaba.com/speaker/don-albert〕 Prior to attending UCLA, Albert founded his own architectural design firm, soundspacedesign (since rebranded as Don Albert & Partners) in order to practice in South Africa. In 1997 he was awarded first prize and the commission to design the Barrows building in Durban. This competition entry was submitted and realised from Los Angeles via the internet, an innovation at the time, and heralded a new mode of “integrated” non-hierarchical work space for post-apartheid industry.〔http://www.designindaba.com/speaker/don-albert〕 In February 2000 Don Albert and Alex Pienaar won the National Ports Authority's Millennium Tower architectural competition for the port control tower in the city of Durban.

These projects have been published in Japan, Italy, China, UK, South Africa, and Brazil.〔SOUND SPACE DESIGN (Cape Town: Pythagoras) 2010. p.310〕 Don Albert was the second youngest architect to be featured in Phaidon World Atlas of Contemporary architecture.〔PHAIDON WORLD ATLAS of Contemporary Architecture, (London: Phaidon) 2004〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don Albert & Partners」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
