Project Description

We are working with the Huntington Free Library to provide accessibility and improvements to their historical structure and property. A gossamer cable wall will flank a restored alleyway walk holding forty 6-inch resin balls along its trajectory. Inside each ball is a miniature 3D printed model of an historical Bronx building to become iconic of the current mission of the HFL, highlighting the history of Bronx architecture and disseminating its legacy for the future. A Gazebo and a Stage-shed with green pitched roofs and glowing red interiors play off the forms of the library building and provide space for outdoor activity.
