 Greg Lynn, EYEBEAM project, USA 2001, 55'' The building is wrapped in a skin that acts as both a new media canvas and an electronic performance space. It boldly joins the skyline of Manhattan as a permanent installation, enabling the projection of a constantly changing array of messages and images, establishing a dialogue with the public and the environment of the metropolis. It is now economically and technically viable to understand the surface of a building as being more valuable than its interior given particular locations in the city. The tower is a medium in itself, another channel for broadcast. It would be the first not-for-profit application of a moving image on a building surface making the Museum into an international icon and beacon for new media at an unprecedented scale. By intricately folding at its base, this media skin creates spatial pockets that act as portals for pedestrians to interact with the culture and programming of the Museum. Its interior has a degree of neutral flexibility punctuated by fixed portals through which images from the Museum mingle with the imagery of the city. Greg Lynn has taught throughout the United States and Europe and is presently the “Assistant Professor of Spatial Conception and Exploration” at the ETH in Zurich and a part time professor at the University of California Los Angeles. His office Greg Lynn FORM is working in collaborative partnerships with a variety of architects on a range of projects including the renovation of a 496 unit housing block in Amsterdam, an interior renovation of the Uniserve Corporate Headquarters, located in downtown Los Angeles, a 10,000 s.f. office renovation in New York City for Imaginary Forces, the Cincinnati Country Day School in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Vision Plan for Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ and the recently completed Korean Presbyterian Church of New York. |
