The idea for this project is similar to our idea for the Wexner Center for the Visual Arts at Ohio State University in Columbia, Ohio. The important differences are twofold: the first is a question of scale; the second is the idea of an internal insertion which ultimately both disrupts and unifies. The site for this project is a 4000 square foot loft in Lower Manhattan. The space is essentially a rectangular parallelepiped in the proportions of 100 to 40. The idea was to insert a foreign body into the existing context in such a way as to produce a disorienting relationship between old and new, with the context providing a non-right angle geometry.
