Timber Engineering Company has announced the availability of an arch frame design for spans of 20' to 30' on two foot centers. Providing a clear span work area with a high ceiling clearance, the design is well suited for schools, warehouses, farm buildings, chapels, garages and resort homes.

Designed for a 30# per square foot roof load and 20# per square foot wind load, TECO's frame specifies a roof pitch of 5/12 Since the frame consists of only four basic members in pairs, fabrication and handling are reduced to a minimum. Assembly is simple with TECO split rings automatically aligning joint members. Erection of wall and roof as a single unit is possible thus holding on-site labor costs down.

los Angeles Inte]notionol Trode Center Outtined

A proposed downtown Los Angeles $100 million international trade, transportation and tourist center to be known as International Square, has been presented by Tom Chino, project architect for Kistner, Wright & Wright, and John H. Oliver, head of management services.

When completed, International Square would encompass three blocks within Fourth, Fifth and Hope Streets and the Harbor Freeway in the southwest corner of the Bunker Hill urban renewal development.

Although New Orleans, Houston and other large port cities have similar facilities, International Square in Los Angeles would be unique in that it will provide complete facilities for Wsrld Trade, Transportation Center, hotel-motel accommodations, and related office buildings, strategically grouped together.

William T. Wright, vice-president of Kistner, Wright & Wright, explained further the plans for International Square.

o'The venture will be composed of four major entitiesthe Transportation Complex, World Trade tower, office building and the hotel-motel, which will also include an exhibit area and garage space for 5,000 cars. An elevated, powered sidewalk network will connect all phases of the complex.

\ffright said that the ground area of International Square would cover twelve and one-half acres, &t a construction cost of approximately $100 million. The hotel-motel will have l3fi) rooms and one and one-half million square feet will be set aside for office space.

toonce construction gets underway," Wright said, o'International Square ihould be completed in about six years. We anticipate that a portion o{ the site should be available for bids within the next two months."

Wright said, in closing, 'oThe population leadership o{ the State of California, coupled with the maritime access afforded through the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and the expanding International airport, point toward a need for a facility like International Square."
