The design centralizes all social and public spaces in a vertical stack at the south face of the building. This continuous space features a multi-story glass façade that maximizes light and offers exceptional views to the south. The interiors of the study cascade – a system of special alcoves reserved for social interaction – are complemented by outdoor gathering spaces and terraces that are clad in cement panels, wood, and other materials. — ps.columbia.edu

I'm afraid that the allure of that rendering is in the depth of vision through the glass and seeing the 3d spaces within. I find it hard to believe that is going to carry through to the finished project even with the "incredibly clear" glass that manufacturers make today. Also what is going on with the rest of that building? It looks almost like it was designed by another architect entirely. Hopefully it makes some good progress in the later design stages.
I cant wait to see what architecture looks like in the post - cartoon era.
That's a funky ass condo.
A teaching hospital you say? It's like two for one in architectural narration orchestrated by satan himself. You can't afford real estate son? Well, now you can't afford education or medical care either. Aaaand here is the 'fuck you monument' for this particular milestone.
Imagine health and education facilities being clean and modest. And affordable.
Neither can I.
so you're saying the common man won't have access to education, property, or health care rusty?
that it's that far out of reach?
rusty you should do a graphic comic of that
seems to me an OMA + Landscape Urbanism rip off ( Berlin embassy strategy + urban green)
