Site
A wooded grove in the heart of the Bard campus. The landscape design minimizes the impact of all but pedestrians onto the site.

Building
The new two-story addition is intended to provide handicap accessibility and additional work and gallery spaces to accommodate the Photography Department. The new structure has been set within a “photographic lens”; a high, curved, exposed concrete gallery wall, located adjacent to the new entry link to the existing building.

Materials
Wood stud wall construction, poured-concrete curved wall, wood truss roof, concrete slab-on grade foundation, site-built glazing, extensive lighting and electrical requirements.
