Pratt Institute, Higgins Hall Insertion / Steven Holl Architects
The new Higgins Hall Center Section is an urban insertion which draws from the sections of the two adjacent historic landmarked buildings. Floor plates of the north and south wings do not align. By drawing this misalignment into the new glass section to meet at the center a ?dissonant zone? is created which marks the new entry to the school. The two masonry buildings together with the new glass insertion form an ?H? in plan. New courts facing east and west are paved in the reused red brick which was salvaged following the fire that took place in 1996.
