Steven Holl Art School Extension

1. Steven Holl designed an extension to connect two historic buildings at Pratt Institute's Higgins Hall after a fire destroyed the central building. 2. The extension reconciles the different floor levels with a ramp that creates an extended promenade. It is made of robust materials like precast concrete and aluminum. 3. The new building balances sensitivity to the historic structures with a formal boldness, stitching the remaining buildings together and establishing a new identity for Higgins Hall.
