PROGRAM
The Student Union Building expansion at the State University of New York- New Paltz is a crystalline palisade set upon the plinth of an existing concrete building. The expressive form of the addition is influenced by the strong regional landscape of the Hudson River Valley where it is sited. Similar to painters a century before, who created evocative landscapes of the River Valley, this expansion is a sculptural interpretation of the land created to invoke inquiry and discovery- a student’s journey through the university.
