Abstract
The urbanization of major American cities has significantly increased densities and demand, often pushing land values out of the reach of the cultural, arts, and non-profit organizations that are vital contributors to the diversity and desirability of those same cities. This situation on Manhattan Island (NYC) is particularly acute. This thesis proposes several key design strategies for one such New York institution (the School of Visual Arts). First, at the urban site scale, it proposes satellite campus components to be located on dispersed, small or narrow "left-over" parcels, and the architectural identification of those small, dispersed components through visual connections that create a new kind of "urban quadrangle" experience. Second, at the scale of a specific narrow site, the design of a gallery building showcases architectural solutions that optimize the use of these tiny fragments of urban space, to enhance the viewing of art of various sizes, and to enable views of the city. The design of two opposite spaces connected by two narrow sites, one `full' and the other `void' offers different spatial experiences for people to promenade between art, space, and their city.
