STOREFRONT SOUVENIRS


Proposal for an Apartment Building in Queens, Exhibited at Storefront for Art Architecture, Souvenirs: New New York Icons, New York, New York, 2017

Team: Andrew Kovacs, Erin Wright

Project Description:


This proposal calls for a large podium filled with apartments of various types that support a collection of 10 miniaturized Empire State Buildings. The 10 miniaturized Empire State Buildings are arranged along the permit of the podium, thus creating a communal court on the roof of the podium. The 10 miniaturized Empire State Buildings create a new skyline - a point of reference and identification for the apartment building. The interior of each of the towers is dedicated for a particular use for the residents of the complex. The uses of 10 miniaturized Empire State Buildings are as follows:

  1. Storage Tower
  2. Observation Tower
  3. Gym Tower
  4. Playground Tower
  5. Garden Tower
  6. Patio Tower
  7. Pet Tower
  8. Game Tower
  9. Music Tower
  10. Art Tower
