"Helfand Spotlight Series: OMA NY's 23 East 22nd Street Tower" Exhibition
The Center for Architecture
This event has ended.
The Center for Architecture is premiering its Helfand Spotlight Series in the newly renovated storefront Margaret Helfand Gallery. The first project selected for this honor is OMA's tower at 23 East 22nd Street. The 22nd Street tower is significant both because it is OMA's first large-scale building in New York City and because of its unique profile. Intended to literally turn the tradition of the stepped tower on its head, the 22nd Street tower will cant dramatically over its neighbors. The 23E22 exhibition includes an illuminated building model, a site model, 100 process models, details, and a comprehensive project description.
The Helfand Spotlight Series highlights competitions, projects under construction, and projects recently completed that will have a far-reaching impact on New York City's built environment. Projects are exhibited as a means of generating public interest as well as presenting in-depth information to the Center's professional audience.
