Considering recently emptied office and retail spaces as an effect of Covid-19, the project tackles this shocking urban change by readapting vacant spaces for the public. Using the Starrett-Lehigh building’s vacancies as a site, the project proposes to re-inject urbanity within the concrete construct with green open space. The project also acknowledges the building’s programmatic shift, from industrial to office and retail and therefore approaches the building not as a sacred monument, but rather as a structural framework that houses an ever-changing environment. The hope is to embrace programmatic and contextual change, allowing the building to adapt over time.
