Columbus is a city whose landscape is held together by a series of architectural interventions.  With no defined border between residential and commercial districts, a ‘bar’ scheme was used to metaphorically stitch the urban fabric together.

The social and cultural hub acts as an outlet for local and international innovation at various scales.   The bars are broken into individual programs to assist in way-finding and curation.  Glass bars intersect the exhibit wing of the building to draw attention to larger exhibits and bring a distributed light to all levels of the exhibit space.
