2008 AIA New York Design Honor Award Winner The Media Lounge, located in the lobby of the newly renovated Yale University Art Gallery, inserts a new multi-purpose gathering space compatible with the robust concrete interior of Louis Kahn’s landmark design. Made of ebony stained wood that matches the black Terrazzo strips found in the refurbished floor, all the new elements float free from the existing structure, clarifying the distinction between old and new. These mobile furniture and display units can be combined and reconfigured to host a full range of events, from informal study groups to evening galas.
