Architectural Homage

|I.M.Pei|

Inspired by I.M. Pei's design for the existing Everson Museum in Syracuse, our project integrates height correlation. Following the structural strategy of the Everson Museum, it features steel cantilever trusses supporting a double glass facade, resulting in an open space oriented towards the plaza.
