FIT says bring in the light
Posted in: Uncategorized
The Fashion Institute of Technology is getting a much needed face lift to their minimalist concrete box on 7th Avenue in NYC.
SHoP Architects was awarded the winning design in an invited competition to design the Institute’s new street front look. The new addition will add a multi-layered metal and translucent glass facade, as well as primary circulation, review and new exhibition spaces, which will connect to the studio spaces and the skylit student quad on the 5th floor.
For a complete analysis of the design head over to Inhabitat.
