Bringing Light to NYC
From the double cable-net wall façade at the Time Warner Center to the building envelope of 7 World Trade Center, Carpenter just added another exciting addition to his NYC repertoire.
James Carpenter Design Associates “Waveforms Façade” (http://www.jcdainc.com/projects/nordstrom-flagship) was designed in collaboration with Nordstrom and the architects CallisonRTKL. The waveform of the curtain wall serves performance objectives such as allowing for the oversize glass units to span the floor plates without the need for vertical mullions, while the volumes allow for a program that merges civic and commercial goals, expanding the sense of public space within this dense urban environment.
