Not new, but its space.

Probably the only photo I have from New York that doesn't have myself or Annie in it. What bad architecture students we are! The storefront for art and architecture by Steven Holl is sited on a corner between Chinatown, Little Italy and SOHO and has an very interesting approach to the street. Rather than just creating a straight forward facade to the street the hinged panels fold out onto the sidewalk REALLY impacting on the urban space and pretty much forcing the public to interact with it (you have to walk around the panels when on the sidewalk). I think its interesting to think how these panels extend the "space" Steven Holl has to work with and the spatial impact it has on the built and cultural fabric of New York. But what do you think?
