I hope to see more of the work of the many artists and be able to buy some in the near future. Please have any of the artist studios email me images of their work. Thank you.

Tschumi & co. proposed an alternative: a huge megastructural lattice that would exist above the Factory and the neighborhood, spanning multiple blocks and accommodating the same number of residential units, as well as a wide range of additional community and recreational programs.
