The Arcade Canopy

A Project to enrich the Public Space

Justin collaborated with Preston Scott Cohen Inc in the concept design

and schematic phases of the project.

The Arcade Canopy provides a covered connection between a corporate headquarters, a hotel, a cinema and a shopping center in downtown Manhattan. The geometry of the canopy enriches the space of passage by offering an exceptional synthesis of surrounding site conditions. The combination of geometric composition, light, translucency, and reflection provide an impression of enclosure in what would otherwise be a vacuous urban canyon. As a tectonic surface, the whole canopy appears to be squeezed between two buildings, creating a torqued effect. The structure is entirely cantilevered and suspended, from the Goldman Sachs Headquarters.
