Management, Articulated
Project Description
The current Office of Emergency Management gives the impression that, in times of crisis, one must be protected with monolithic barriers, which foster introspection. However, emergencies call for spontaneous collaboration. The project articulates the many departments that are involved in the decision-making process at the Office of Emergency Management by fragmenting them into individual volumes and placing them in fields of public program, allowing the public to become more aware of their presence and work. The overall building is kept quiet and the outer envelope ambiguous, to contrast and slowly reveal the more dynamic events and forms housed within.
