AIA Expo 2008 Boston Tour
May 15 & 16, 2008 - 9:00AM-12:30PM

During the AIA Convention in Boston in May 2008, Tony Hoover will co-host tours of Berklee College of Music with architect Laura Wernick of HMFH/Cambridge, MA.  These tours will include performance and recording spaces (shown here) for which Tony provided acoustical guidance, and in which he taught 3-credit architectural acoustics classes for so many years and for so many students.  The tours will also include Boston Symphony Hall and Jordan Hall, which are just down the block on Mass Ave.

Berklee College of Music is the leading educator and incubator of world-renowned musicians, and its learning spaces serve as performance and recording laboratories.

AIA attendees can find more tour information in the AIA Convention Guide under #TP15a & #TP15b

Stephanie Stewart - Chef Extraordinaire!
GS - 2/25/2008 (Updated - 2/25/2008)

StephTheChefStephanie does a lot for us here in MCH's Westlake Village office. She keeps the office running by paying our bills, making sure clients pay us, and answering the phones. Aside from her general management of the office, she is quite the chef. Thankfully, she shares her culinary creations with us every Friday. Each week, everyone here at MCH takes the time to partake in a home cooked meal. It also allows to engage and to promote dialog with one another, whether it's discussing the intricacies of variable acoustics for a new multi-use recital hall or solving an HVAC noise problem on someone's project. Sharing a meal is one of the many ways we maintain our familial atmosphere here at MCH.

Balboa Theatre Reopens!
DAC - 2/1/2008 (Updated - 2/2/2008)
The Historic Balboa served, variously, Vaudeville and movies.  Shuttered since the 1970s, it opened to rave reviews in January 2008 after a $26M restoration. For San Diego's growing performing arts groups, the theater's size (1350seats) and acoustical properties (now variable) are, today, an ideal match.
