Abstract

Stan Allen and Rafi Segal are both independent New York-based practitioners and educators: Allen is Professor of Architecture at Princeton University, and Segal is Associate Professor of Architecture and Urbanism at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Here they collaborate on a high-density and flexible design strategy for Midtown Manhattan that is driven by ecological, social and spatial concerns rather than the usual commercial drivers of speculative development.
