New York Public Library - UnBeige http://www.mediabistro.com/unbeige Where Designers Read Design Copyright 2013 Fri, 24 May 2013 22:36:14 +0000 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 Fly Through Norman Foster’s Design for the New York Public Library Change is afoot at the New York Public Library, which tapped Foster + Partners to mastermind an ambitious expansion that will more than double the public space within the 42nd Street building while preserving the 101-year-old landmark’s facade and its original interiors. Norman Foster joined NYPL President Anthony Marx last week at the library to unveil the initial schematic designs, which call for a new 100,000-square-foot lending library along with enhanced spaces for scholars, writers, and researchers. The video below offers an animated sneak peek at what the library will look like in 2018, once the project is completed. Entering through the library’s Fifth Avenue entrance, the camera travels on an east-to-west axis through the building’s first floor.
