[The Anti-building]
The grand gesture of the proposed school appears to be a green-scape that acts as an extension to the adjacent St. Nicholas Park. The generous green roof gradually flows over the city-like studios, class-rooms, and administration spaces, softening the boundary between the school and the community. As a civic gesture, programs such as the lecture hall, gallery, and the library are projected and scat-tered above the green roof, erasing the form of the singular massive building.

“Every one who observes the growth of plants, even superficially, will notice that certain external parts of them becomes transformed at times and go over into the forms of the contiguous parts, now completely, now to a greater or less degree. Thus, for example, the single lower is transformed into a double one when, instead of stamens, petals are developed, which are either exactly like the other petals of the corolla in form, and color or elese still bear visible signs of their origion.”

One primary space, a sanctu-ary, within a discrete enve-lope - it is perhaps theedge, the articulation of spa-tial and material transitions in the vertical plane of the building envelopethat is most significant.

Critique
In 2010, the School of Architecture, Urban Design, Landscape of the City College of New York under-went a major transition. It outgrew its neoclassical home (Shepard Hall), set in the late 19th century pic-turesque north campus, and moved into a newly de-signed and renovated modern building (by Rafael Vi-noly) located in the south campus - a fragmented site, dislocated from the life of the active north campus. The opportunity to rethink the way one teaches and learns architecture failed, in my mind, to enhance our experience. Rather, it created more limitations and more inadequate spaces. Each studio was individually located, far from lecture rooms, classrooms, studio support programs and disciplines. An eerie sense of isolation, underpinned by my personal disappointment in the building’s relationship to its context, led me to critically explore other architectural solutions through an awarded thesis project: a counterproposal project of the School of Architecture.
