A hub for the creation of science integrated art pieces was designed fat the intersection of Broadway and 125th Street to address the art aspect of an urban master plan. The program for the building developed around the need for artist studios and galleries within the neighborhood. The building’s tectonics were influenced by the nearby subway structure. The site, including the elevated subway stop, became a catalyst to create a connective, multi-level urban space. This urban space not only links internal building elements but also determines their spatial characteristics, creating an internal urban space. These spaces are anchored by pyramidal atrium’s that are alternatives to traditional air-shafts. he form facilitates day lighting, the grounding of the subway, and creates a critical response to typical solutions associated with these designs. Complexity is also added to these spaces through a reinterpretation of the ground floor. Acting not only as an active street facade, but also creating a secondary internal street, the building is able to connect across Broadway.
