Description
This book explores the complex exercise of designing and constructing a new building forthe City University of New York within the tight city grid. Comprising nearly 800,000 square feet, the new 'vertical campus' houses three schools - the Zicklin School of Business, the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences and the Executive Education Program - in three separate stepped atriums. The atriums not only create unique identities- quads, so to speak- for each of the schools, but they also allow natural light to penetrate even the deepest recesses of the projects public areas. The project is a unique example of a multi-use academic institution on an extremely restricted site.
Through widely varied colour photographs and architectural drawings, the new project is explored in great detail. The volume includes an illuminating essay by esteemed academic and critic, Kenneth Frampton. Another excellent import, new to the UK, from Edizioni Press.
