Bridging the gaps between students, shoppers, bikers, and locals.
This building will become the new gateway to campus as well as housing the Syracuse University bookstore, gym, retail shops, and a night club. In dialogue with Rem Koolhaas’ essay, “Whatever Happened to Urbanism?” This project proposes a formal design that is intended to revitalize the urbanity of the Syracuse University campus as well as to give the city of Syracuse a hub to connect with the students of the University. By creating an environment in which students using the mixed use facility and pedestrians using the sidewalk can interact, will allow for a merge of activities, pedestrian traffic, and the various patrons of the university facility.
