The New School of design building in New York City has been renovated by the creativity of Lyn Rice Architects. Not only are the majority of interior spaces filled with interchangeable walls so students can create their own interactive work space, but it contains a very intricate facade system that becomes just as interactive. The large-panel, deep-set, aluminum-framed windows are rotated 6 degrees towards the intersection and 4 degrees in section towards the sidewalk allowing for expanded views to and from the street. This attention to detail has allows students and pedestrians to experience the face more ands on. The tilting of the large window panes creates gathering spaces inside the facade on both interior and exterior that were never utilized prior to renovation.
