As envisioned in this competition project, the Electronic Media Performing Arts Center is a multi-dimensional facility for the city as much as for the academic community. It was designed to be easily accessible and to extend the perception of the campus to its westernmost edge, which is strikingly visible from the Hudson River down below. The topography of the site allowed the building to be entered at mid-level, leading to a three-dimensional experience as the visitor simultaneously sees above and below, left and right.
