harvard 1996 - - first prize |
|
| the book display case was built as a result of a winning entry in a design-build competition held by harvard's graduate school of design in 1996 with the object of displaying gsd publications. the project occupies a position in between the main entry to gund hall and the entrance to the frances loeb library, allowing it to be experienced along a trajectory through the gsd lobby as a programmatic shift between two extreme positions - from across the street as a luminous sign, and from the library entrance as furniture. invisibly cantilevered from the wall, the folded steel skin of the display case appears to float. |
