“The Shed”, which is still under construction, was designed through the collaboration of the New York-based DS+R with the Rockwell Group. It is going to be the first center dedicated to several arts all at one place in New York. The project, which has a total area of 200,000 square feet, will produce and endorse all kinds of visual arts, performing arts, and popular culture.

“The Shed” represents an “architecture of infrastructure” as it comprises a permanent base structure along with a telescopic outer shell which can be moved to the adjacent plaza. This design creates a modifiable hall of an area of 17,000 square feet. Also, the design helps control several parameters such as temperature, sound, and light.

The second exhibition “Relations” features the work of PAR (Platform for Architecture and Research firm). The founder of the LA-based firm, Jennifer Marmon, wishes to expand the firm’s discipline by questioning the limits and role of architecture and investigating global topics.
