A Current Proposition for a Library

Civic Engagement Trumps ‘Shhh!’

Today's New York Times covers a proposal by a prominent American architect that explores space in a way similar to our studio project.  Steven Holl is known for his experiments around "porosity" where walls, floors and ceilings are permeable membranes.

PRADA TRANSFORMER Pre-Rotation

This 3 story tetrahedron is literally rolled across the landscape to provide a space to be set up for a different program to happen over and over again. The "Prada Transformer" made up of a cross (art shows), a circle (parties), a polygon (movies), and a square (fashion shows). Designed Rem Koolhaas and built in Seoul, Korea. Watch the video and you'll figure it out.

Welcome to Studio 2

Hello all!
This blog is for all of us to use.  We do have an official Blackboard site, where you will find all the class documents such as the syllabus.  Since Blackboard doesn't work with images very well, I am using this site to augment our discussions.
