Unveiling the Dynamic Shifts Between Architectural Styles in Shifting Architecture
Shifting Architecture explores the dynamic tension that arises when two architectural movements converge, subtly shifting the design language of buildings throughout New York City’s history. This project highlights the moments of transition between contrasting styles, such as the decorative intricacies of Art Nouveau and the stark functionalism of Bauhaus.
