jury comments:
“A nuanced sculptural exercise in folded planes with a continuous material surface sets us up perfectly for one unforgettable, exuberant ceiling. This project—filled with clarity and simplicity—is well resolved and consistent down to the details.”
Instead, a similar wood veneer was used as cladding for faceted panels that create the reception desk and line the walls between the front lobby beneath the coffers and the rear lobby and elevators. By using a geometric logic and a wood material that is visually consistent for different parts of the lobby and possesses different conditions of opacity and translucency, says Scott, the installation draws together and questions the ideas of light, materiality, and solidity. “I didn’t want something trendy or short-lived,” comments Chang. “This is not overtly modern or contemporary. And our new and prospective tenants really appreciate its energy and thoughtfulness.”
