Goals
Crown Colony’s purpose is to give passersby a new appreciation for New York’s architecture heritage. The site specific window installation fills the entire front of 266 W. 37th St in mid-town Manhattan, and its language is the neoclassical ornamentation that permeated New York's urban landscape throughout the early twentieth century.
Process
Assembled from sheets of transparent film in an array of colors, the rich patterns of columns, friezes, and cornices of the crowns of the building and its neighbors form the elements of its design.
Additional Information
The project was commissioned by ChaShaMa Projects for presentation at the Newmark Holdings storefront space
