Located on Manhattan’s Highline, the 60,000 square-foot Turing Tower integrates
six housing unit types with the Turing Institue for computer science research,
as well as a cryptography museum on the ground fl oors. An extensive gallery
exhibition space throughout the tower doubles as public circulation and parking
for small electric cars.
An exterior staircase joins the Highline with 10th Avenue, providing only visual
connection to the interior. The entrance to the building remains on street level.
The program within each spatial unit is determined by the unit’s relationship to the public gallery space (gray). The spatial units aggregate to form clusters which repeat five times up the height of the tower.
