Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios (FCBS) has released new visualisations of a proposed visitor attraction on Dundee's waterfront for The Eden Project. The latest proposals for the ‘international-scale’ scheme, which will sit on the former Dundee Gasworks in East Dock Street, were unveiled yesterday (1 August) ahead of a planning application in the autumn.
FCBS’s designs – now out to public consultation following a Proposal of Application Notice – involve the creation of different spaces for exhibits, performances, learning, play, and art across the site. Facilities for immersive experiences, horticulture, live music, and food and beverage facilities also form a part of the latest plans.

‘We have taken a regenerative approach to the design that will start to restore the site, an approach which will restore biodiversity to the site, reusing materials to create an immersive pedagogic facility. ‘We are looking forward to listening to more to people in Dundee during the upcoming consultation, to inform the design development.’

Members of the public can attend drop-in sessions on 16 August and 13 September before the final designs are submitted to Dundee City Council in the autumn.

New Bradenton, Florida, USA convention center hotel will be a resort ‘destination.’

When the eight-story, 252-room Marriott opens next door to the Bradenton Area Convention Center in early 2024, it will be more than a hotel. It will be at the heart of a new destination. Planned for the property is 10,000-square-feet of retail space, facing an amphitheater with stage that can accommodate 5,500 people, plus another retail space totaling 7,500 square feet.

10,000 square feet of meeting space, a 50,000-gallon swimming pool and a recording studio, for possible special event coverage. Several years in the future, there could be a second hotel on the property, this one planned for 121 rooms. Although it won’t be opened at the same time as the Marriott Palmetto, a multi-million dollar private beach club for hotel guests is planned across the street at the Riviera Dunes property, including a golf putting course, a restaurant, bocce ball and pickleball.
