The intersection between commercial and residential, as well as mass transit and public corridors; marks the site of this proposed mixing used development. 3400 Lincoln was designed to discuss intersections between ideas, materials and urban interventions. The building inserts itself into the fabric of the city, attempting to bridge cultural, civic and environmental issues.
Programmatically, the project seeked to bridge connective elements through a centrally inward looking courtyard space - providing a link to residents above and the main level gallery space. A transparent outer lower level skin filters a dense urban condition, while removable and interchangeable panels on the residential levels empower dwellers with an ability for self-expression - echoing the gallery below. Proposed movable walls at the gallery level promote a flexible attitude towards condition the space for exhibiting art at a wide range of scales.
