CIGNA headquarters x Velux 08′ midterm
Treatment of the existing building and site conditions focused on renovation and reinvention rather than demolition is the principal of our intervention. A series of concept driven procedures allows for the essential organization to be based upon people rather than the efficiency of physical matter. These areas then have a correlation to ceiling and roof geometries which drive their program, organization and relationship to lighting effects. A primary and secondary program is recognized through the resultant overlap condition of the different program typologies. This area of overlap provides for dynamic exchange amongst occupants, thus creating heterogeneity in program juxtaposition and varied circulation. Office typology can thus be generated through the use of the skylight as a means to reorganize and introduce natural light into an existing building system. by Scott Sorenson & Karl Roarty read more
