The premise of this project is to transform a 1920’s run-down New York building into a dynamic Urban Peace Center and a vibrant landmark through modifying/renovating the existing and adding/ integrating new structure [lightBOX]. The lightBOX is setback from the parameter of the existing building and extends in some areas of the existing building blurring boundaries between new/old and exterior/interior. The integration of the lightBOX to the existing modified building is not only sustainable but will also be able to celebrate and highlight the historical important of the existing historical land mark.
