LOT-EK lectures at RIT Vignelli Center, Rochester
concept & vision
two concepts to revitalize an industrial area with retail, leisure and cultural activities
design & architecture
we design two iterations of a four-level container structure, both with intertwining indoor, outdoor, opened and covered spaces, and outdoor circulation. Also, both with our intentional color, gradient or high-contrast
program & use
ground floor and upper levels are animated with shops, cafes, restaurants and with the constant movement of people
impact & significance
working toward an intimate experience through a network of separate yet interconnected buildings and open public spaces, offsetting the large scale of massing and site
