Studio Background

This studio aims to transform a current office block near Princeton Junction Station and look for spatial possibilities. "If formerly industrial “lofts” were at the heart of the “revival” of urban centers in recent decades, first as sites of cultural experimentation, and then as vectors of commodification and gentrification, office parks and other suburban and exurban architectural types will be at the center of the inevitable transformation of the vast areas surrounding those urban centers."
