Torre Design Consortium, Ltd. (TDCL) is a multidisciplinary firm, ?????EUR??,,?EUR having produced since its creation in 1980 many award-winning projects for public and private sectors throughout North America, offering landscape architectural, architectural, graphic, interior, and exhibit design services.

Torre Design president, L. Azeo ?EUR??,,????'??Ace?EUR??,,????'?? Torre, FASLA, AIA, FAAR, IIDA, is a recipient of the prestigious Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome. He is a registered landscape architect, architect, interior designer, and planner. The firm has focused on natural-world interpretive projects (zoological gardens, botanical gardens, wildlife refuges, nature centers), as well as on urban and waterfront designs. With more than 70 design awards, TDCL continues to design engaging projects that help teach, explore, entertain, and promote conservation of the world?EUR??,,????'???s natural resources.

The firm?EUR??,,????'???s design roots are in New Orleans, which offers a fusion of cultures and ideologies. Many of the projects realized in this waterfront city have led to its specialty in unique projects, especially zoological gardens. Beginning with the Audubon Zoo over 20 years ago, Torre Design Consortium, Ltd., has completed master plans and designs for over 30 other zoological facilities, most recently in Winnipeg, Canada.

Waterfront design has been another focus, ranging from the New Orleans waterfront and Woldenberg Park to over 100 linear miles of waterfront developments from the Gulf shores of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida, to the Costa Smeralda in Sardinia, Italy, creating attractions that entertain and strengthen family values through shared activities and venues.

Torre Design Consortium, Ltd., always carefully explores the economic dynamics of all of its projects to achieve a higher financial performance and to serve the community with attractions of the highest impact. The recently completed master plan for the Memphis Botanic Garden sets a new standard of opportunity for all other gardens to follow: operational self-sufficiency (without relying on a huge endowment), engaging design, ?EUR??,,????'??pulsed?EUR??,,????'?? exhibit experiences, and proper visitor services. All of the firm?EUR??,,????'???s designs are rooted in the foundation of economic logic and explored with the greatest enthusiasm of design opportunities.

Ace Torre?EUR??,,????'???s commitment to achieving the need for interdisciplinary professional growth and development was underpinned by his creation of four scholarships at Louisiana State University?EUR??,,????'???s College of Art and Design. Annual scholarships are awarded to the college?EUR??,,????'???s four departments: art; architecture; landscape architecture; and interior design. These scholarships promote collaborative efforts among all design professionals and students to produce solutions that are more comprehensive. It is a reiteration of Torre Design?EUR??,,????'???s design philosophy to utilize the unique fusion of culture, art, history, technology, and environmental resources of New Orleans, and to bring these attributes to the world.
