![]()
A theater along the East River aims to merge the park and the city into the theater, through an experiential outdoor staircase along the periphery of the building. With a tripartite system of building parts, material, structural, mechanical and architectural strategies are developed simultaneously to allow for an energy efficient and a more sustainable building. This course allows students to develop a project in Revit from Schematic Design to Design Development to Construction Documents in dialogue with a team of professional consultants.
