10.20.09 | New York, NY | Please join us Monday, October 26, for a lecture and student presentation unveiling Connect 4loor, the latest project of The Design Workshop, the acclaimed design-build program under the leadership of David Lewis, at Parsons The New School for Design. This summer, Parsons students undertook the complete renovation and transformation of the design studios of Parsons School of Constructed Environments, which encompasses its programs in architecture and interior, lighting and product design and is housed in a former 19th century warehouse. Students rethought the concept of the design studio in the 21st century to create a flexible, open space that accommodates the needs of the various disciplines, as well as fosters interdisciplinary collaboration. Students placed a particular focus on present and future lighting and energy needs, including the fabrication of a solar shade along its 14th Street facade that cuts glare while providing the school a highly visible presence along this major cross-town corridor.
