Theme: Transforming Old Buildings / Making & Learning
This project, for New York City’s Department of Cultural Affairs, transforms a five-story historic former public school to better house four arts groups and one community-service organization. Our design proposed a new five-story addition to create additional public space and provide access to all parts of the building.
All these borders are breaking down in a deep way… Now, the questions that are being asked are about how the audience is engaged, how we can try to find connections with them, how we can find intimacy, and in doing so communicate better?
