Located on a slot site in New York, the consulate has a curved glass wall that serves as an additional space for light to enter through the building. The space frame is exposed, demonstrating structure and creating shadows as the sun rises and sets. Rods are connected by nodes and the insulated panels of glass are attached to the frame with a four-legged spider clamp.
Scales of compression are experimented with the building. From the city, people are compressed into the lobby space, which is still relatively generous in height. As people enter the multi-purpose room, they are compressed even further. As one travels vertically through the building. the space frame brings an awareness of compression as the space becomes smaller.
