Ethereal Lumina

Spring 2024 - Design Studio Arch 602
413 Broadway, New York, NY 10013

Critic: Lane Rick
Collaboration with: Hilary Li

The project aimed to create diverse experiences, seamlessly intertwining various elements as they navigate the space. Through innovative design strategies such as a cantilever system and a space truss framework, we achieved the placement of programmatic elements midair, evoking a captivating illusion of levitation. The core is hidden in the back, providing essential structural support while allowing the public space to organically flow through the structure. 

The public space, filled with vegetation and open views, fluidly transcends through the traditional floor boundaries, guiding visitors seamlessly upwards to the building's roof. Through the design, our library project seeks to clearly define the notions of space and sensory experience, creating a diverse and immersive environment that fosters exploration and discovery.
